This is Angela's favorite breakfast treat. I like to put powder sugar and syrup on them. They aren't too hard to make, it just takes awhile to cook them. We also use this recipe for waffles on occasion.

Here's a Texas chili done right--no beans! This recipe was derived from a recipe called “Pedernales River Rat” Chili, by Lynn Hejtmancik, which is available at http://chili.org/lynn.html. This recipe can be made spicier (as Karl likes) with more cayenne pepper, or more mild (as Angela likes it) with less.

A few people have wanted this, so I am finally giving in and posting. My only request is that you invite me over when you have it. read more »

I was told these were named because flour and sugar were rationed during WWII. Not sure how correct that is, but they sure are yummy and gooey! Since I am not a big coconut fan and I don't usually have nuts, I have never used them in the recipe. Karl loves them.

12 oz chocolate chips
1/2 c. coconut & 1/2 c. nuts (optional)
