Giddo’s Dream Waffles<\/a><\/h2>\n
“Several months ago, I awoke from an extremely vivid dream. Giddo, my grandfather who passed away when I was six years old, was standing right in front of me, statuesque as ever. His eyes sparkled with his smile and with his huge calloused hands he gave me a tattered and folded piece of paper. The entire exchange lasted but seconds and, turning around, he walked away into the garden. I opened the paper and saw this recipe for waffles. I woke up immediately, still remembering the entire dream, and wrote down the recipe.” – Chelsea<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Oven Omelet<\/a><\/h2>\n
“What’s great is it can be made the night before. Then all you have to do the next morning is bake it. It feeds a big crowd but you can also cut the recipe in half to serve a smaller group. A spoon full of salsa served on top, really adds to the flavor of this dish. You could also add a dollop of sour cream and guacamole.” – Gayle<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

“Grandma Delsie’s Cinnamon Rolls will have you salivating with the aromas filtering from your kitchen as they bake. This recipe is from my grandma, including notes and instructions on making the rolls, the delicious cinnamon filling, and the icing to top them. These rolls do not need sugar added to the dough. They are light and airy, filled with sweet cinnamon goodness, and just the right amount of sweet frosting on top.” – Shelia<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Baked Custard Pancake<\/a><\/h2>\n
“This pancake is so good. In fact, it is more like a custard than cake and a wonderful breakfast delight. It puffs up nicely in the oven and then as you let it set, it absorbs all of the butter, sugar, and cinnamon that is on the bottom layer. You can sprinkle cinnamon and sugar on top, or even a drizzle of honey or syrup but, I find this wonderfully sweet (although not overpowering) as it is and really does not need it.” – Barbara<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
