Everyone in my family loves chili except my daughter, but she loves cornbread. One day she asked if she could have mostly cornbread, with just a little chili. Then we had an idea—cornbread waffles topped with chili and all the fixings! It was a hit. If you're going gluten-free, make sure your chili is also free of gluten. —Courtney Stultz, Weir, Kansas
