Heated Rice Pack

Yesterday morning was the first really cold morning of the school year.  I was feeling bad that my kids were going to have to walk to the bus stop and stand in the cold waiting for the bus.  It wasn't cold enough for me to drive them, but I wanted them to be warm.  I hurried and got some material scraps from some pumpkins I had made and quickly sewed a rice bag, put rice in it, closed it and heated for the kids to take to the bus stop.  It seriously took 5 minutes for me to make 2 of them.  All the other kids at the bus stop were freezing, but these kids stayed warm with their new rice packs.

Healthy Crispy Chicken Recipe

I am always looking for new/healthy recipes that my kids will like.  This was a hit last night.  All my kids liked this!  We love fried chicken, but I hate to make it because it is so greasy and unhealthy.  I saw this recipe on the back of the Kellogg Corn Flakes cereal box.

Ingredients

• 7 cups Kellogg's Corn Flakes® cereal (crushed)
• 1 egg
• 1 cup fat-free milk
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 3 pounds chicken pieces, (without or with skin) rinsed and dried
• 3 tablespoons margarine or butter, melted

Directions

1. Place KELLOGG'S CORN FLAKES cereal in shallow dish or pan. Set aside.

2. In medium mixing bowl, beat egg and milk slightly. Add flour, salt and pepper. Mix until smooth. Dip chicken in batter. Coat with cereal. Place in single layer, in shallow baking pan coated with cooking spray or foil lined. Drizzle with margarine.

3. Bake at 350° F about 1 hour or until chicken is tender, no longer pink and juices run clear. Do not cover pan or turn chicken while baking. Serve hot
