TWO RECIPES: ALMOST INSTANT PIZZA DOUGH and CHOCOLATE CHIP PANCAKES

Marcia Norwood, AMERICA'S STORYTELLER

I admit it.  I'm a sucker for television ads.  I watched Cathy Mitchell cook with her Xpress Redi-Set-Go grills for almost a year before I gave up and purchased a set of grills. 

You know what?  I liked the grill so much that I ordered more....and now we have four of the little red grills.  The grills are really easy and fun to use.  My children and grandchildren love the meals I prepare in the grills, and they even like to help cook with them.  Clean-up is super fast.

Some of our favorite recipes for the grills are: Veggie and Cheese Omelet, Tortilla and Eggs, Paninis, Frittatas, Homemade Pizza Dough and Pizzas, Mini-Cakes, and Mini-Chocolate-Chip Pancakes.

Cathy Mitchell says: "It's the healthiest, quickest and easiest cooking machine ever invented."

I have to agree.

Today - I'm including two of our favorite recipes to use with the Xpress Redi-Set-Go grills. One is my recipe for Chocolate Chip Pancakes and the other is Cathy Mitchell's Almost-Instant Pizza Dough. You can use both recipes even if you don't have one of Cathy's grills......but I would suggest you do yourself a favor and buy two or three or four grills!
