You need this recipe! I make them so often I don't need to use the recipe. Simple changes make these wonderful for both sweet and savory crepes. Do NOT omit resting the batter in the fridge. Eaters will laude you kitchen "skills"! ;)

Do you miss Grandpa's "flapjacks"? Well, you've found the recipe! I know it SAYS pancakes, but that's not accurate. These are my Grandpa's flapjacks, (except for the cooking spray)! You can't go wrong with this recipe. Whoever eats these will request them often. I make them for our overnight guests and everyone loves them. I love a certain box mix for it's convenience and versatility. So sorry, I won't be using that mix for flapjacks ever again. Nor, I am certain, will you!

Reminds me of hunting deep in the Allegheny forest. This was a deer camp staple that never failed to satisfy and warm you up when you returned half frozen from the woods! I multiply this recipe and use an electric roaster. This is perfect for large gatherings. A buffet favorite that will make you a star!

Traditional S@*# On a Shingle taste without the dried and jarred beef. I would not have believed how close this comes to the Army's version using ground beef. Bravo!

A basic rice pilaf that tastes great as is, but can be used as a base for your own creation! The whole family ate the lot. As we usually have one child per meal who simply refuses to eat at least ONE side, the fact that there were no leftovers is irrefutable proof that this is a five star recipe! Baking was also a nice change of pace for rice. It made it easier to leave it alone while it steamed! Lol

I make this recipe exactly as written, with the one exception; I use a 12 muffin pan. My family absolutely LOVES these muffins. It's a splendid way to empty the freezer of all those frozen banannas, and, best of all, they taste delicious! The crumb topping is awesome! Thank you Miss Lisa, for a real keeper.
