PEBBLES MARSHMALLOW CRISPY TREATS



so, this is probably sac-religious, but i didn't want my bag of marshmallows to go to waste, and the only handy crispy cereal i had on hand were cocoa pebbles®. on the box there were also suggestions of other post cereals that can be used: honey bunches of oats, honeycombs, fruity pebbles, and banana nut crunch. maybe if i get adventurous i'll post my experience.
believe me, i love the original rice krispies treat, but i do love these cocoa pebbles! plus, it will be a tasty treat for tomorrow's super bowl (assuming the husband doesn't get his grubby little hands all over them).

PEBBLES MARSHMALLOW CRISPY TREATS RECIPE
  • 1/4 c (1/2 stick) butter or margarine
  • 1 pkg (10-1/2 oz) miniature marshmallows (6 cups)
  • 13 oz cocoa pebbles cereal® (about 8-1/2 cups)
microwave butter in 4-qt microwavable bowl on high 45 seconds or until melted. add marshmallows; toss to coat. microwave 1-1/2 seconds or until marshmallows are completely melted and mixture is well blended, stirring after 45 seconds.


add cereal; mix well.

press firmly into greased foil-lined 13x9-inch pan. cool. cut into 24 squares.

my yummy tip: if you happen to be a crispy treat virgin, make you add water to your hands before pressing the final mix into the pan. it keeps them from sticking and being unmanageable...although it is fabulous to get a little of the strays on your fingers for some finger-licking fun!

BESTILLA...MOROCCAN CHICKEN PIE

the first time i had bestilla was at a moroccan restaurant in san francisco, el mansour , which was served family-style. think along came polly -esque, minus the heat and profusely sweating ben stiller. great image to start a recipe entry, right? anyway, this dish is a meal in itself. the middle eastern-spiced chicken is wrapped in flaky phyllo dough and topped with powdered sugar, making it sweet & savory. i will say that this dish is tasking...this is the first time i used phyllo dough and it is incredibly fragile, but so worth it! i think this is one that will be made for special occasions only.

CHICKEN PICCATA & LEMON BRUSSEL SPROUTS

one of my favorite notes in food is sour, usually from lemons. a dish that i think really captures this flavor profile is chicken piccata. i love this and it's incredibly easy to make. the added bonus for me are the capers, which add to the sour note. it seems like there are ways to adjust this recipe by either using white wine and/or garlic, which i may experiment with, especially since i just prepared a julia child's moules a la mariniere recipe that called for these ingredients and it was super delicious (post to follow)! the other, very trendy side i wanted were lemon brussel sprouts. i've had and loved brussels with bacon, but to keep with the lemony theme, i found this extremely delicious recipe! it calls to add cheese, but i was fine without it. these combined may be too much of the same for some, but it is what i considered a perfect homemade meal.

SAUSAGE & KALE STEW WITH OLIVE OIL MASHED POTATOES

mr. miles everett first off, as you can see, i have not been contributing to my poor deprived blog. the last post was in april, which was when i found out i was pregnant with my first baby. a couple things were going on then: 1) i was too nauseous to even think about food (being pregnant is NOT a foodie's friend in the first trimester), then 2) when i finally got my appetite back, all i wanted was take out. i probably won't have time in the new year with a new baby, but i will try to post something at least once a month because blogging about food makes me happy and one of resolutions is to cook more. don't be surprised, however, if my next post are lactation cookies or baby food. anyway…on with my comeback... i found saw this recipe in the november issue of real simple and knew i wanted to make it. i assumed it was something that can be whipped up in a couple hours, but then quickly realized that it was a slow cooker recipe, which would take 8 hours of cooking t...
