I love figs.  My mom, Mama Suzie, knows this and makes me fig preserves.

They are yummy.

So, this morning, after making homemade waffles for the boys….(otherwise known as coping mechanism for a baker who cannot bake because she might literally melt) I decided to use half a waffle as a vehicle for eating fig preserves.

This is what I came up with.

Waffles + Cream Cheese + Fig Preserves = Happy Annie.

I’d love to try this with goat cheese instead of cream cheese and throw some toasted pecans on top.  I’m thinking that would be delicious.

That reminds me of one of my other favorite pancake/waffle toppings — bananas sauteed with butter and cinnamon sugar, sour cream and a sprinkling of toasted walnuts.

What’s your favorite thing to put on waffles?
