There are two things that are staples in our house.  Pumpkin and waffles!! I would buy stock in Libby's canned pumpkin if I could. Every time I go to the store I have to buy a couple cans. I have a fear of running out. It would be a very depressing day if I did not have my pumpkin, and my kids would be sad if they didn't have their morning waffles!!
