Waffles with Peaches and Pecans

This breakfast combines sweetness with whole grains and healthy fats and proteins for a meal that will keep you going all morning without loading on the fat and calories.

Ingredients:
- 2 whole-wheat waffles
- 1c frozen peaches
- 1/4c pear nectar (or other juice or nectar)
- 1/2c pecans
- 1t sugar

Combine peaches and nectar in saucepan.  Heat until peaches are hot and nectar has reduced to a syrupy consistency.

Heat another pan over medium heat.  When hot, add pecans and let toast for about a minute.  Sprinkle with sugar and continue to cook until pecans are covered with caramelized sugar.  Remove from pan and roughly chop.

Meanwhile, toast waffles.  When toasted, top with peaches and nuts.
