His indescribable gift...

Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!

2 Corinthians 9:15

Spending time with our adopted family and our youngest daughter for Thanksgiving was truly a gift.  I hope you all had some good family time, as well.  

As great as it was, this is not the gift being described in the above verse.  The gift that is so wonderful that there are no words to adequately describe it, is the grace of Jesus Christ.  This particular gift is not a physical gift that can be unwrapped, but is a spiritual gift.  

On Thursday, December 1, I will be posting ideas for gifts and wrapping those gifts.  But, better than anything that can be purchased, Jesus' grace is a gift that I hope you have enjoyed and are enjoying every day.  God has made it available to each one of us and tells us all about it in his Word, the Bible.  Throughout December, we will be looking at God's indescribable gift.  Be prepared to feel loved!

Today's Recipe - Cinnamon Roll Waffles

Because of celiac disease, I have not been able to enjoy cinnamon rolls for the last several years.  And then...I found a recipe for cinnamon roll pancakes.  I decided to make waffles instead.  They are delicious!  Because of the obvious sugar load, these will be served on special occasions only.

Make your favorite recipe for waffles/pancakes.  Pour some batter into a preheated, sprayed waffle maker, leaving room for it to spread as it bakes.  Starting in the middle of the waffle, make a spiral of cinnamon roll center mix on top of the waffle batter.  Close the waffle maker and bake.  When the waffle is done, place it on the rack of a 200 degree preheated oven.  Note:  this will keep the waffles warm, but keep them from getting soggy.   When serving the waffles, drizzle a glaze over the top of each waffle.

Gluten Free Waffles

3/4 cup water or milk

1 Tbsp oil

Whisk all ingredients together until there are no lumps.  Pour 1/4 cup batter onto a preheated, sprayed waffle maker.  Makes 6 round waffles

Cinnamon Roll Center Mix

1/2 cup butter, melted

3/4 cup brown sugar, packed

1 Tbsp cinnamon

Whisk all ingredients together.  It needs to be runny enough to pour in spiral on waffles.  If it gets too thick, put in microwave to warm it up.

Glaze

4 Tbsp butter

3/4 cup powdered sugar

1/2 tsp vanilla

milk or cream to make it runny enough to drizzle over waffles
