Serves 6-8 When I was growing up, my favorite breakfast was cream of wheat cereal. Cream of wheat was tiny bits of wheat cooked with milk. Now I realize that a dinosaur couldn’t eat that! Still, sometimes you want to eat things even if it’s not healthy for you. Then…
Serves 6 This happens to be one of our favorite recipes in the entire book. It has some surprising ingredients, but they come together so nicely that they really do taste and feel like the waffles you had before you ate like a dinosaur. Dinosaurs didn’t have freezers…
