Sooo, if you follow me on Instagram, then you probably already have a pretty good idea of what was happenin’ for breakfast over here this morning…
P.S. – SO excited that I finally know how to get screenshot photos on my iPhone 5. Ohhh the things I still have to learn.
But yeah…back to those waffles. How incredible are they, right?! I love how I can always count on Target to persuade me to leave with some sort of impulse buy.
Only, I’d be willing to argue that I did really need those waffles. 
So, of course, (after spending a little over an hour attempting three different no-bake cookie recipes this morning) by 8am it was time for the waffles to make an appearance.
I toasted up two of ‘em, and topped them with a pumpkin + peanut butter combo, banana slices, chia seeds, and a drizzle of maple syrup.
After my first bite, I wasn’t quite sure what I thought about them. They were actually quite a bit more “pumpkin-ish” (<—you like that, mom?) than I expected. But once I got down with that, I decided that they’re pretty much the best things EVER.
Cody wasn’t quite sure what to make of ‘em either. He was about ready to pounce on them right while this picture was taken, if you couldn’t already tell.
Little stinker…luckily he knows what’s good for him.
Questions for the Morning:
Are you completely over the pumpkin craze yet?
When’s the last time you left Target ONLY with the things on your list?
What’s the last item you bought that you “really did need!”?

I NEVER leave target without spending 100. It’s bad.

Oh, I am definitely not over the pumpkin craze! I think I will be making a lot of pumpkin stuff well into November, and then I switch to cranberries!
Stef recently posted..Weekend re-cap…a day late.
I love pumpkin flavored foods! I got those Waffles at the beginning of the month as soon as I saw them in the supermarket. I have to agree with you. They are pretty wonderful

I actually need to make a trip to Target soon!! I feel like they offer so much more varieties that other stores do!!
I tend to buy a lot of things that I don’t need… Kind of like the new lululemon tank I just bought in THREE colors… Probably one could have done the trick. Ooops!!

F’n Target! It’s like they’re inside my brain.
1) Fall just started! So the pumpkin craze is just beginning
2) Never. My wallet hates Target.
3) The White Chocolate Candy Corn M&Ms, along with 3 bags of candy corn. They are only sold this time of year so I figure a splurge was justified!

Erica { EricaDHouse.com } recently posted..Off the Wagon
I have been seeing these pop up all over the place & the blog world.. YUM!!! I can imagine they were damn good! I freakin love target and spend at least 100 – 200 when I am there, so ridiculous. So yeah, I never leave with just what is on my list..never. hmmm, I ALWAYS need like 3 of everything – I have serious fears of “running out of things” ha. So my shopping cart on iherb.com is ALWAYS full with random weekly items..especialyl NuNaturals Stevia.. cannot-get-enough!
Eva @ Committed2Nutrition recently posted..Monday. Pictures are worth 1000′s of words.
I got those a week or so back from my grocery store and LOVEd them!! I have been on such a waffle kick lately. I can’t seem to get enough!
Hahah I read this link yesterday about shopping at Target which I thought was hilarious!! http://thoughtcatalog.com/2012/how-to-shop-at-target-in-20-simple-steps/

those waffles are so good. admittedly, I found them at Shop-Rite at the end of August and bought them right then and there even though it was way too early to start the pumpkin craze lol. I made a small batch of the pumpkin rice krispies yesterday though i had to wing it as my store only had normal marshmellows but still very good and my team loved them.
I’m a little too pumpkin obsessed! I won’t be over pumpkin until at least Christmas!
Caroline @ After Dinner Dance recently posted..What I Ate Wednesday #22 – Pumpkin Overload!
Target is so fun and dangerous. I’m definitely not over pumpkin yet! I still need to get a piece of pumpkin bread from Starbucks. It’s so good and I try to get a slice every fall!

I love Cody! And those waffles… I might be just have to pick myself up a box next time I’m at Target.
I love Target and I’m not sure if it’s a good thing or a bad thing that they’re coming to Canada in 2013!! I am totally in the middle of a pumpkin-loving craze right now – I just bought some pie pumpkins so that I can try making my own puree….all I need is some spare time to actually do it.
Andrea @ Vegvacious recently posted..What I Ate Wednesday
I’m still head over heels for everything pumpkin. Until at least Thanksgiving!
Yellow Haired Girl recently posted..When I Remember
Oh man, I didn’t even know those existed. Not over pumpkin yet, feel like I need to excel my pumpkin consumption, I’ve been slacking. As for Target, NEVER left there with just items on my list, is it even possible???
Katie @ KatieEnPursuit recently posted..A Wise Woman…
Definitely not over the pumpkin craze! I am loving it
Haha I have never seen those waffles; I am going to get some now!
Chelsea @ahintofhealthy recently posted..Some Ab Work and Pumpkin Overnight Oats!
I’m so excited because we’re -finally- getting a Target up here in Canada, so I can’t wait to go in and see what all the fuss is about. From what I hear, though, I’m in trouble because I can never seem to walk out of the store with just one item.
Amanda @ .running with spoons. recently posted... treating yourself and a typical tuesday… .
Hahah LOVE that you went from being not sure to thinking they are the best ever! I do that all the time
Definitely want to try these!
Laurie @ Love, Laugh, Laurie recently posted..Not What I Planned
I bought those same waffles this weekend, and I also bought the pumpkin cream cheese. I never make it out of Target with whats on my list, I never make it out of any shopping trip with whats just on my lists. : )
Ahhh I love the look of this! Those sound amazzzzing. If we had these available in Canada, I’d be going out in a second to buy them too! I’m still very much in the pumpkin “craze”; in fact, I plan on making some pumpkin protein pancakes this weekend! I also recently bought some pumpkin chips and am sad to say that they are AWFUL. Just brutal!

I’m not sure I have ever left Target with only the things on my list? I always end up finding something I have to have in the clearance section.
Lauren @ Chocolate, Cheese and Wine recently posted..Garlic Broth for soup
I remember when I was in college, I really wanted a Super Target in my town. We had three (yes, THREE!) Super Walmarts, but only one regular Target, attached to the mall. Sadly, groceries were bought at Walmart. Love Target sooooo much!
I’m loving pumpkin right now. My BFF came for a visit/road trip this past weekend, and on her last morning with me, we celebrated with Disney Princess waffles (I have a Cinderella waffle iron. It’s the greatest thing EVER!), but I tweaked what I normally did (Bisquik shake n’ pour. Hey, it was college. *shrugs*), and made pumpkin spice waffles from SCRATCH. They were amazing.
Time intensive, but amazing.
I bought pumpkin pancake and waffle mix from trader joe’s yesterday! I can’t wait to try it!
Buuutttt I may have to try those waffles too!
Mandee recently posted..Heat Miser Birthday Cupcakes
I wanna find those! lol I’m totally with you on the Target thing… I sometimes go there just to look around and I end up buying stuff I don’t need haha
Rachel recently posted..Mystery Rider
We don’t have Targets up here in Canada (yet…next year though!) but whenever I’ve gone to one in the States, I end up with piles among piles of stuff. I’m actually counting the days until they open around here, but I doubt my wallet will be too happy.

Um, never! I don’t think I ever go into Target with a good enough game plan. I’m definitely not over the pumpkin craze yet- I have too many plans for it!
Claire @ Keeping Up With Claire recently posted..Fear the Gator
I love everything pumpkin! It seems like it starts earlier and earlier every year. I think that Target sales the best holiday themed items…..ever.
Brandi recently posted..What makes a long run.
Never over the pumpkin craze, never leave target without something extra, totally needed those lululemon pants I just clicked “purchase” on!
Brittany @ Protein And Pumps recently posted..Protein Pops!
I spent minimum $50 at Target every.single.time. How do you spend under that? OH not being implusive haha I need to try those waffles! I’m obsessed with everything pumpkin. Made a pumpkin smoothie, and your pumpkin & banana bread (which was delicious, amazing, you get the point… thank you!) all in one weekend
I will never be over the pumpkin craze! This past week I bought a new pair of sneakers because I “needed” them but in reality I really don’t need them haha!
Kerry @ Totes My Oats recently posted..Fall Bucket List
I have been over the pumpkin craze for a while. it is just too overwhelming anymore. However, my coworker picked up pumpkin coffee creamer (which i usually dont like pumpkin in my coffee) that i tried and i love it!
Andrea @ Andrea Out Loud recently posted..Today….
While I am not over the pumpkin craze, I will probably slow it down a bit just so that I am not sick of it come the end of November. I think a couple of pumpkin foods/drinks throughout the week isn’t so bad. Now pumpkin every day….I might not last long if I did that!
My last purchase that I needed……Love Grown Granola. Yep, I needed it. That is my story and I am sticking to it
!!
Suzanne @ Fit Minded Mom recently posted..WIAW #15 = Semi Couch to 5K
Those waffles sound amazing! Totally not over the pumpkin phase and don’t think I’ll ever be! I’d love to try those and might have to make my own gluten free version since they sound so amazing!

I love your facial expressions! Do you have a brother that can come hang out with me in California? I need a buddy!

The pumpkin craze is JUST starting haha! Target is definitely dangerous for the bank account, but I don’t have one near me anymore (or that I can walk to in the city)! That might be a good thing..
Connie recently posted..WIAW & GIVEAWAY!
I am becoming obsessed with all things pumpkin this fall too! Those look delicious! This was all sparked by trying the recipe you had on hear for pumpkin custard oats! DEEEELISH!

I hadn’t been to Target for a long time, but I went in to see if they had a belt (I was looking for a specific color… SO hard to find!) the other day, and I wandered out with way more than I meant to buy!! And I didn’t even find the belt I went in for. Haha. Oh well!! There are worse things in life.

The last thing I bought because I “really needed it” was a box of Little Debbie’s Oatmeal/Marshmallow cookie sandwiches. I got SUCH a craving for them and had to grab some.

I have not had enough pumpkin products at all! Fall just got here, and I’m so ready to embrace pumpkin everything. Unfortunately, everything I want to make with pumpkin in it is dessert…so I should probably pace myself.
Katie recently posted..These Are a Few of My Favorite Things…
Oo I must get my hands on those waffles!
The last item I bought that I reeeaaallly needed was a package of Pumpkin Spice Mallows Marshmallows (this morning)…to make those pumpkin spice rice crispies (which happened right when i got home from the grocery store) XD haha
They were delicious by the way!
Over pumpkin, what, the season is just beginning!!
Nicole recently posted..Outstanding the in the Field
Hahaha, I never go to Target and only walk about with the one intended item.
Also, I’m never ever over the pumpkin craze. I loves it all year round!

1. I’m not crazy about pumpkin, but I do like me some pumpkin pie once in a while.
2. I think I’ve always left Target with something that wasn’t on the list to purchase. There’s a bunch of cool stuff in that store; I can’t help it!
3. Candy Corn!
The pumpkin thing is new to me, as I’m from Scotland and we don’t get a lot of pumpkin-based treats there! This is my first fall living in Canada and it’s everywhere! I can’t get enough!
For me, the pumpkin craze is just getting started.
I haven’t even opened my first can yet! Then again, the highs are still in the 80s where I live…
