E: Pumpkin Cornbread & My Favorite Meal

This week has been a little crazy around here. I am excited for the weekend so that I can cook up a storm with Mandi on Saturday & get some relaxing in. What are you up to?

This post is going to be a little bit of a mish mosh of sorts. First, I made Recipe Girl’s pumpkin cornbread for a few special friends:

   This bread is thick and SO yummy. I stole a piece for myself to eat with leftover butternut squash and tomato soup….mmmm. Then I packed up the rest:

This would be perfect for Thanksgiving.

I also received a really fun package this week, the Nordic Ware 4-Cavity Egg Boiler (disclaimer: I received this product for free). I have no idea who sent this to me, but I am in love!

Basically the boiler allows you to cook 1-4 eggs at a time and within 10 minutes, have soft or hard boiled eggs. It could not be easier

I used it yesterday morning to hard boil eggs for breakfast (breakfast/brunch is my favorite meal). They turned out just right:

And, to continue with my breakfast kick, we had breakfast for dinner last night(Brinner, BFD, whatever you’d like to call it).  I used our waffle maker to make up massive Belgian waffles (you can either use a mix or make your own) .

I also made up a simple fruit topping that I learned from Sarah(who is due any minute now!!!!).  I previously made a strawberry version, but  last night opted for a raspberry version.
