Waffles!!
I was surprised to realize recently that sometimes practical gifts bring the most joy. My 9-year-old boys gave me a Waffle Iron for my birthday this year. As I opened their gift, their giddy looks of anticipation and glee made me smile. Their joy reinforced the importance of home-cooked comfort food, especially for kids who are gluten-free.
This waffle recipe is the best I've made. Find it at Epicurious.com. Try it with a pile of fresh berries, a drizzle of maple syrup, and a lot of love.
P.S. You'll be a goddess for a day if you have some whipped cream to dollop on top!
