Delicious Golden Grahams Chicken with Honey Drizzle

October 15, 2013 By Lindsay 3 Comments

Did you know that it’s National Cereal Lovers Week? It began yesterday and it continues the rest of this week. Seeing as how I love cereal, I think it’s a fun week which gives me an excuse to eat more cereal. In fact, I received a fun (free) package of cereals and other kitchen goodies to celebrate the week. I also received some tasty recipes that use cereal in a different way. For instance, I received this Golden Grahams Chicken recipe by Amanda Frietag and I tried it out this weekend with my boyfriend. Look at how simple it is!

Golden Grahams Chicken

I think you should be aware of the fact that my boyfriend and I really enjoy chicken. We usually eat it at least once on the weekend. We try to prepare it in different ways, so this Golden Grahams Chicken recipe was right up our alley… It combines my love of cereal and our passion for chicken (perhaps that’s a bit strong, but you know what I mean). See how easy this is to make.

Ingredients

4 Boneless Chicken Thighs
1 Cup Flour
Cayenne
2-3 Eggs
1 Cup Golden Grahams Cereal
1/2 Cup Rice Chex Cereal
1 Cup Honey
Dashes of Tabasco
1/4 Cup Apple Cider Vinegar
Salt & Pepper

Instructions

Chop up and combine the two cereals. You may also add 1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs, if you wish.
Pre-heat oven to 350. Place 3 bowls on working space, near each other. Put the cereal in one bowl.
In another bowl, put in the flour with a dash of salt and cayenne.
In the third bowl, add the eggs.
Arrange the bowls in a line, starting with flour, then the egg bowl, and put the cereal last.
Season chicken with salt and pepper.
Coat chicken in flour and then dip into the eggs.
Move chicken to the cereal and fully cover it with the cereal.
Place the chicken on a baking sheet and give it an optional additional sprinkling of salt.
Bake chicken for 10-15 minutes or until the juices run clear when poked with a fork.
For the honey drizzle: Heat the honey in a pan on medium heat. Add the vinegar and Tabasco sauce to taste. Then, stir.

The original recipe called for breadcrumbs. However, there was a little mix-up with ours. So, we left it out. Additionally, my boyfriend didn’t want to add the extra salt as too much sodium gives him a headache. So, we used the salt sparingly. Lastly, I ended up preferring plain honey with my Golden Grahams Chicken. It was a nice combination of sweetness (from the cereal and honey) with a little saltiness of chicken and salt. The chicken came out juicy and delicious. My boyfriend said that we would be making it again.

So, what do you think of using cereal to make fried chicken? Will you be trying some Golden Grahams chicken this week?

Halloween Cereal Treats: Monster Mash-mallow Fun

October 10, 2013 By Lindsay 3 Comments

I’m sure by now that you realize that I love to eat cereal. So, imagine my delight when I received a package of the old favorite cereals that are making a re-apperance to stores after 20 years? I’m talking about the Monster Cereals from General Mills. Just in time for a certain spooky holiday, the cereals can be found in stores to add a little more fun to the season. With that in mind, I present to you these easy Halloween cereal treats. Disclosure: I received a free Monster Cereals package with cereal and recipes, including this one.

Halloween Cereal Treats

The recipe cards I received with these Halloween Cereal Treats actually referred to them as Monster “Mash”mallow Cereal Treats. I think that’s a cute title, but I adapted the recipe a bit and so I renamed it. The card has you making all three types at once. We decided to split the butter and marshmallow to make the types separately. It seemed easier as we weren’t trying to make them all at once. Plus, it allowed us to use a smaller pan and fewer bowls as we rinsed it out to be reused. However, you can totally make them all at once. Additionally, we forgot the sprinkles. So, we left those out.

Celebrate the return of the Monster General Mills cereals with these Halloween treats.

3 cups Count Chocula Cereal

Instructions

Grease two cookie sheets or muffin tins.
Heat 1/3 of the marshmallows and butter in a saucepan over low heat. When the mixture is melted, smooth, and glossy, add 1 of the cereals to it. Mix well and add 1/4 cup chips (chocolate chips for Chocula cereal and white chocolate for Frankenberry and Booberry).
Allow the cereal to cool very briefly and then work the cereal into balls with hands. It's at this point you may roll the balls into sprinkles and then place them onto a cookie sheet or in a muffin tin to cool.
Repeat the process with the remaining two cereals and serve.

Caramel Pancake Mix Scones Recipe: Easy and Tasty for Fall

October 2, 2013 By Lindsay 1 Comment

Last week, I posted about the easy autumn pumpkin apple butter dip (which was tasty). In that picture, you may have noticed the delicious looking pastries accompanying the dip. So, today I wanted to share this super easy caramel pancake mix scones recipe with you.

Caramel Pancake Mix Scones Recipe

This pancake mix scones recipe can be adapted with 1-2 cups of other ingredients. Just substitute the caramel with an ingredient of your choosing. I want to try chocolate chip or blueberries some day as I think that would be delightful. Honestly, any other baking chips or pieces of fruit would probably be good. Since they are so easy to make, I’m sure we’ll make some variation of them again.

I will admit that my boyfriend and I selected caramel just because it seemed like a good idea to go with the apple butter pumpkin dip. However, we didn’t think about the possible big mess the caramel bits would create when they baked. So, here’s a personal tip if you make these with caramel: remove them from the pan asap or they will stick to the pan. Then, they will break apart as you remove them. Plus, they are even better when they are warm.

1/2 cup whipping cream

Heat oven to 425.

Stir in the caramel pieces.
In a separate bowl, beat together the whipping cream and egg with a whisk.
Stir the two mixtures together with a wooden spoon and a dough should form.
Sprinkle a work surface with extra pancake mix and place dough onto it. Knead the dough about 5-6 times.
Divide the dough into 2 equal portions and shape into circles. Cut the circles into 6 wedges.
Place the wedges onto a cookie sheet and bake for 11-15 minutes.

Easy Autumn Pumpkin Apple Butter Dip Recipe is Perfect for Fall

September 26, 2013 By Lindsay 29 Comments

Earlier this year, I posted the spiced apple cake with orange glaze recipe that used Musselman’s apple butter. Recently, I received another jar of it to post about it and I made some autumn pumpkin apple butter dip using it. It’s so easy that I had to share.

Pumpkin Apple Butter

Like I said, this little pumpkin apple butter dip recipe is so simple, I’m not sure how I didn’t think of it before now. However, the people over at Musselman’s did, so that’s what matters. It’s a delicious dip that is great for multiple baked goods. We made some scones (stay tuned for that recipe) for them, but I could definitely see it going well with some honey pretzel sticks. They suggest serving it with gingersnaps or graham crackers, which could also be good. Additional serving suggestions from them include pancakes, waffles, french toast sticks, and spreading it on bagels. Yum! Just thinking about the possibilities makes my mouth water.

So, let’s get to this ridiculously easy pumpkin apple butter dip recipe!

Was I right? Is that not the easiest and simplest recipe I’ve ever posted? My boyfriend was actually surprised that I would do this recipe to feature on here because it is so simple.

Just smelling it reminds me of cooler days and sweet treats.

Easy Coffee Cake Recipe

August 27, 2013 By Lindsay 2 Comments

It’s been a while since my last recipe (where are you food companies?). So, I thought I’d share this super quick and easy coffee cake recipe that I just made yesterday. It’s so painless that I came up with it by myself and did it yesterday morning on a whim. I guess I need to start listening to my inner thoughts because this turned out great! Let me know if you try it and what you think of it.

Coffee Cake Recipe

What makes this recipe so easy is the ingredients. I’m all for taking shortcuts in the kitchen, as long as the food still tastes good. So, I opted for biscuit dough for the “cake” of this recipe. Check it out!

Pour the remainder of the sugar topping on top.

I will admit that I attempted to soften the butter and it ended up melting some. So, my topping wasn’t so much of a streusel topping as just another layer of goodness. Either way, this easy coffee cake recipe is terrific and I really like it. Next time, I will leave the butter out to soften prior to using so it will make more of a streusel-like topping instead of a glaze. So, what do you think of it? Will you be trying it?
