Maybe it's because my husband can stalk, kill, clean and butcher animals from scratch... then grind and: cook, dehydrate, grill or stuff the meat all by himself! If he can do it.. you can do breakfast sausage!! So, with saying all that, exactly how "homeade" are you going here?!!! My other vote is marshmallows, just because it sounds fun!

Here's the link to the recipe I use for <a href="http://smallnotebook.org/2009/07/10/homemade-chocolate-syrup/" rel="nofollow">chocolate syrup</a>. I keep it in a glass bottle in the fridge. We mostly use it for chocolate milk, but it also comes in handy for topping ice cream and for mochas! Funny, no one’s pulling for sausage or worcestershire sauce …

I've just returned this book to the library and plan to go out and buy it. I've been making a few of the things, but haven't gotten to the fig newtons... that's my vote! Can't wait to see how it goes! Wow! I’ve just returned this book to the library and plan to go out and buy it.

Of course, this is all dependent upon which Pop Tart flavors you love. I can probably pull off strawberry, but I imagine I'd have a hard time recreating the "Rainbow Cookie Sandwich" flavor (yes, that really is a flavor). We shall see, Janet, we shall see.

My problem is that Mike and I love it, but the kids don't. I've yet to stumble upon the perfect bread recipe that they like for sandwiches ... they're all too crusty and/or dense. So yes, we have that same 2-week-old loaf of bread in the pantry. Give the waffles a try, though! I've done that on several occasions and the kids love them. Don't fret, though. I'm sure the money your beautiful cupcakes bring in pays for the Eggos! Thanks for the vote. Pop Tarts and Fig Newtons are definitely the winners so far. I go in spurts with the bread.

I've just started making bread although I've only done it a couple of times... we're not big bread eaters. I mean we love bread but if I serve dinner with a starch then I just don't serve bread along side with it. And it litterally takes us 2 weeks to go through a loaf of bread. And yes, I know that a loaf of bread that last two weeks is chock full of preservatives, etc. But, oh well. I've told myself for two years now that I am going to stop buying Eggo waffles and just make them ahead of time and freeze them, but have I gotten around to it? No. Too busy making cupcakes I suppose. We actually don't eat Pop Tarts that often, but I'd love to see you make them! Pop tarts for sure!
