Yesterday I stopped at Williams-Sonoma in the Mall of America.  I love that place.  I could probably spend thousands of dollars there and still want more.  It always smells so good inside, too.
When I walked into the store, I noticed a small section with "Spiced Pecan Pumpkin" mixes.  It included different breads and pancake/waffle mix.  I love eating pumpkin in October and November (including Dairy Queen's Pumpkin Pie Blizzard), so I knew I had to buy a container.
I am always very happy with Williams-Sonoma pancake/waffle mixes.  They are very easy to prepare and taste wonderful.  My sister introduced me to the traditional "Bellegem Waffle Mix" about 6 years ago.  I usually have at least one container stocked in my cupboards.  I knew that I couldn't go wrong with pecans and pumpkins.
When I woke up this morning and decided to start preparing the waffles.  I looked at the instructions and realized that it was going to be more work than I had anticipated.  The Bellegem mix calls for water, that's it.  The pecan pumpkin mixed called for eggs, butter and milk.  It only added 3-4 minutes to my preparation time, but I hadn't mentally prepared to "work." 
I tossed all of the ingredients in my stand-up mixer while I preheated the waffle maker.  When the waffle was complete, I put whipped cream on top with some ground nutmeg.
Ingredients:
2 1/4 cups Spiced Pecan Pumpkin Waffle and Pancake Mix (Williams-Sonomoa)
2 eggs, lightly beaten
4 Tbs (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
1 cup milk
