While looking up recipes for breakfast, I found [this recipe](http://www.bbonline.com/recipe/candlewick_va_recipe1.html). My family doesn’t care for raisins and we had 1 3/4 cup of coarsely chopped walnuts that needed eating up, so I made a few alterations. It worked well. Any one have any new recipes for the new year?
