Birchwood Waffle Bliss

Happy fall flavors Dabblers.  Fall color has officially arrived in Minnesota and the scenery couldn't be more beautiful. Training for the Twin Cities Marathon has kept me logging many hours around the lakes in Minneapolis and along the Mississippi River, and it has been a joy to watch the trees change as the marathon approaches- 7 days to go!

This morning I completed my last long run with a dear friend who is also running the marathon this year. To celebrate, we went to Birchwood Cafe for brunch after completing our miles. I have been looking forward to this running/brunching date all week because of this gem of brunchery fantasticness:


Birchwood's savory waffle is one of my favorite breakfast creations ever. The waffle flavor rotates seasonly, and this fall's waffle is pumpkin with apple compote, cinnamon-pecan butter, bacon lardons, a fried egg, maple syrup, and a delicate dusting of powdered sugar. If you find yourself wondering, 'how do all of those flavors blend together?,' quit wasting precious time pondering and go eat one :) Brunch ends at 2pm. 

I couldn't love fall flavors more- apples, pumpkins, and spices...comfy, warm, and cozy flavors. My next post will include the recipe for my go-to breakfast concoction of late- Power Pumpkin Bread. 

Happy Fall Dabblers,
