It was difficult to get up this morning, but I did it. It helped that I had a trail run scheduled with a friend. We tackled Wadsworth Creek. There were still fall colors on the trees. Truly beautiful.
After running, all I wanted to eat was pumpkin waffles. I've never had them before, but I had exactly 1 cup of pumpkin left from the pumpkin pie fudge and pumpkin chocolate chip cookies this week. And I found a recipe that sounded delightful.
I made them for dinner. So freaking delicious.
