Caramel Apple Cake Mix Waffles with Cake Frosting Syrup #BakeFallFavorites AD | Mama Harris' KitchenWe’re officially in the middle of Fall now, and it’s my favorite time of year. Sure, California weather isn’t always reflective of the seasons, but the scents and flavors of the season are all around. Fall is also when my kitchen heats up with baked goods, I love to come up with new recipes that are fun and tasty that my family can enjoy this time of year. Because of that, I was so excited to see new Fall flavors of Pillsbury™ baking mixes hit shelves for a limited time (from 9/4 through 11/5). With flavors like Halloween, Perfectly Pumpkin or Caramel Apple Cake Mix you’re sure to bake up plenty of fun seasonal goodies in a snap. I have a hankering for waffles and they’re perfect for brunch or even dessert, so I decided to try my hand at some cake mix waffles using the seasonal flavors. In fact, I also used the Cartwheel app for Target get an additional 10% off of all the Limited Edition Fall Flavor Baking Mixes and you can too, as long as it’s between 9/25 through 10/22. So go on and grab your mixes and come back for this super easy recipe!

Caramel Apple Cake Mix Waffles with Cake Frosting Syrup #BakeFallFavorites AD | Mama Harris' KitchenNot only did I decide to make cake mix waffles, I also wanted to make an easy syrup for the waffles with the frosting. You just take a bit and heat it up, add a little milk to it and drizzle over your waffles for a mouth-watering treat. Add some fresh apples (since I made the caramel apple flavor), some fresh whipped cream and a dusting of cinnamon sugar and you’re set! You could also supplement the whipped cream for some creamy vanilla ice cream to really make this more of a dessert waffle.

Caramel Apple Cake Mix Waffles with Cake Frosting Syrup #BakeFallFavorites AD | Mama Harris' KitchenThe texture of cake mix waffles is a tad bit different than traditional waffles. It’s a bit lighter and spongier, like a cake. It’s not as dense and the edges don’t get as crispy, but if you use a cooking spray it does help to create the crispier edges we all love. I really liked the texture, especially if we’re making these more of a dessert waffle. And the taste is delicious with that touch of caramel apple flavor, without being too overwhelming. Perfection.

Caramel Apple Cake Mix Waffles with Cake Frosting Syrup #BakeFallFavorites AD | Mama Harris' KitchenFor a true feast for the eyes and the palate, add pretty Fall themed touches to your tableware. I tied up a pretty napkin with sparkly twine and added a glittery gold leaf, this would make a great dessert for a Fall themed dinner party or a fun Fall brunch with friends!

[Sponsored]: Summertime is coming and will be here before we know it! You all know that I love easy meals during the warmer months, and I also love a good meal in a bowl. It’s also Vidalia Onion season 🧅 so I paired this seasonal favorite with pan-seared shrimp and veggies as a light rice bowl using your choice of grains.☺️This meal is an absolute delight!

(AD) There has been a lot of cooking going on this year, so I’ve tried to make life a bit easier by getting creative with my leftovers. These pulled pork totchos are a great example of leftovers with a few key ingredients to create something new to keep our meals exciting. Adding a few key ingredients like @lamorenausa adobo peppers and jalapeños and carrots definitely livens up something simple. La Morena peppers are hand selected, using only the highest quality peppers to bring you authentic home style flavors of Mexico. I purchased my La Morena items from my local Safeway, but you can find them at your favorite grocery store in the international food section. #PayItForwardwithLM #VivaLaMorena #WeCanWithLaMorena 
 
INGREDIENTS:
- 32 oz tater tots
- 2 cups shredded cheese (Mexican blend + Pepper Jack)
- 2 cups prepared bbq pulled pork (check my pulled pork sliders recipe!)
- 1/2 can La Morena Adobo Peppers & Sauce
- 2 tablespoons sour cream 
- 2 tablespoons ranch dressing
- 1 cup pico de Gallo
- 1/2 cup guacamole
- 3 chopped green onions 
- 3-4 La Morena jalapeños and carrots, sliced

INSTRUCTIONS:
Prepare tater tots as instructed, in air fryer or oven. Heat oven to 450°. 
Cover the bottom of a large cast iron skillet with the cooked tater tots. 
Top with 1 1/2 cup of cheese. 
Combine the chopped adobo peppers and sauce with the prepared bbq pulled pork. Spread the pulled pork mixture on top of the tater tots, then top with the remaining cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes.
Top with sour cream, ranch, pico de Gallo, guacamole, green onions, and sliced jalapeños and carrots.

Enjoy!! 😋

Hello Instagram fam! 💖 There’s some new faces around here and it’s been a while since I showed mine!

I’m Dawn, creator of Mama Harris’ Kitchen, and I’m so glad you’re here with me! In this space I share my family-friendly recipes for all occasions, whether it be a 30-minute meal for those busy weeknight dinners or a full spread for entertaining a crowd - and everything in between.

Mama Harris’ Kitchen began back in 2012, in fact it’s 8 years this month! 🥳  What started as a way to document my newfound cooking hobby while managing my “new” life as a stay-at-home wife and mom to a 1 and 3 year along with teens and preteens, and it quickly grew into what it is now - a recipe resource for busy families like mine that enjoy flavorful and comforting home-cooking using pantry staples along with fresh and local ingredients as often as possible. 

🍿Five fun facts about me:
1. I LOVE elephants! 🐘 I collect a lot of elephant items, whether it’s trinkets or  artwork, notepads etc. I love what elephants symbolize and I truly love anything elephant related.
2. I’m a total plant lady! 🌱 I have about 35 houseplants, give or take, and there’s still more on the list of wants. Plants have become such a peaceful outlet for me, and I feel that they really center me within my space. I love the element plants bring to your space and the feel of your home with them in it, and new leaves are so exciting!
3. I have seven tattoos and I have plans for about eight more. 💉 Those that know me aren’t surprised, but those that follow me here tend to find it a bit surprising. 🙃
4. I’ve been a mother for a long time, over half my life! I’ve also been a lot of different “types” of mom - teen mom, single mom, working mom, stepmom, stay at home mom, PROUD mom, military mom, mother in law - the list goes on. No matter what, motherhood looks different for everyone and there’s unique challenges and experiences each mother faces. Please be gentle with yourself! ❤️At the end of the day we’re all just trying our best!
5. I’m a bit of an introvert, and often struggle with the “social” aspect of social media. I tend to go silent sometimes, but I’m working on it.

☀️Thank you for joining me here!
