From Recovery to Recipe — The Story Behind Papa Waffles
Before leaving the hospital, Jim’s final rehabilitation task was simple: make waffles from scratch. That moment sparked something special, a passion for creating healthy, tasty waffles that everyone loves.
His grandchildren nicknamed them “Papa Waffles,” and soon, this beloved recipe became the heart of a new venture.
Coming soon: Papa Waffles, a wholesome line of waffle mixes designed to bring families together with every bite.
