Delicious Golden Grahams Chicken with Honey Drizzle

By 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!

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.

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

By 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.
