Feel free to substitute your favorite meats and cheeses, dried fruits, grains and nuts in these easy recipes. And remember that you can individually freeze pancakes, waffles and french toast after baking or cooking on a cookie sheet or tray. When these foods are frozen solid, then wrap individually and store in your freezer. They will reheat beautifully in the microwave or toaster oven.
