Thanksgiving Turkey Breakfast

by

Let us not overlook the most important meal of the day: Breakfast. We put so much emphasis on the main meal at dinner for Thanksgiving that we forget in order to gain the strength to eat everything on the table, we need delicious breakfast foods to help us out. Breakfast. My favorite meal of the day. And how can you go wrong when you combine 2 of the best breakfast foods ever to create a thanksgiving turkey breakfast?! Toast and Waffles! (((All that is missing here is peanut butter and syrup))) Please tell me that I am not the only one who eats her waffles/pancakes with peanut butter…

I could eat breakfast all day long, I tell ya. I even snuck in a bite of waffle (or 4) as I made these. Lay off me, they were tasty. Did I mention I love waffles?

      Thanks Kris! And I’m so glad to hear that us pb pancake lovers are coming out! I cannot tell you how many strange looks I’ve gotten when I admit this…We are loud and we are proud with our nut butter love 🙂

    I think my almond butter needs to come and kidnap your peanut butter.

    But on another note, I tried some of Peanut Butter & Co’s butter yesterday and it was the best I have ever tried. Still, almond butter beats peanut any day. And I hope your peanut butter heard that.

    Funny thing – I don’t think I’ve ever made waffles. Or tried a waffle (though there is a possibility of me having tried one as a kid. I don’t have the best memory). I guess I’m not much of a pancake/waffle person though anyway.

    Oh and I love the little picture with your recipe on it too!

      How dare you, Isobelle! Such filth coming from your mouth. And you have never had a waffle??!! You might as well just go ahead and tell me that you hate puppies as well…

    Hi Cara! Growing up, I had a cousin who always ate peanut butter on her waffles. Only recently did I stop referring to this combination as “Mollie-Waffles”. Delicious, indeed! Love the turkey design. 🙂

      Hi Ingrid! I actually love the name Mollie-Waffles–I am going to have to start calling them even though I don’t personally know your cousin 🙂

    Ooh. Pancakes. I want this for Thanksgiving dinner. Please fly over here and show me how cook a pancake so that it is neither burnt nor raw? I don’t get it. Nope I just don’t get it.
