Pumpkin Season
Whenever fall rolls around, the shorter days, cooler weather and falling leaves are always accompanied by an abundance of fall bounty at our local supermarkets.
The first time we experienced fall in the US, when we were still living in the West End neighborhood in Washington D.C., was also the first time we had a taste of full-on pumpkin season.
At our local Trader Joe’s, I was thrilled to see an entire section dedicated to all sorts of squash (from spaghetti squash, acorn squash, yellow squash, butternut squash, delicata squash and kabocha squash).
The entrance of the supermarket was also surrounded by pumpkins of all shapes, sizes and colors! I’ve never seen so many pumpkins (so large and so small) in my life; and I honestly had no idea that so many varieties of pumpkins even existed! I even forced Juan to snap a photo of these cute adorable pumpkins just sitting around and waiting for a home.

Perfect recipe. Wouldn’t change a thing except to double the recipe!
Don’t forget to include the oil in the batter (it’s not listed in the mixing steps).
So happy to see iron instructions; hubby and I have learned how to properly cook waffles today too!
Felicia Lim says
Hi Sarah!
Thanks for the lovely note! Will add the oil in the instructions right now 🙂 And YAY to doubling the recipe and cooking waffles! They are always worthy of any celebration aren’t they! 😉 Hope to see you around the blog again sometime soon!

So, so good! I loved the hint of cinnamon and nutmeg! We had these topped with almond butter, maple syrup and sliced pears. What recipe will we make next?
Felicia Lim says
Hi Jenny!! YAY!! So happy to hear that you loved these waffles!! Next up, let’s see, have you tried the pear custard pie yet? One of our favorites. Also the crustless pumpkin pie! Oh, and my husband’s favorite fluffy gluten-free pancakes!
If you try any of these, I’d love to hear how it went! Have a great week! xx, F.

Pumpkin waffles? Yes please! I had my first pumpkin flavored item of the season and it was the Pumpkin Dunkin Donuts KCup for coffee this morning. Now I’m craving more.

I love the supermarket just like you. I got excited today because I found Meyer lemons. Although, I love shoes and handbags too. These look so yummy and I’m sure my kids would love them. Thanks for sharing.
