Cooking with Kellogg's

I call this cookbook a cook booklet. Only because it is 64 pages and was published by the Kellogg Company of Canada. And as far as brand name cookbooks go this is what one can expect. When in a pinch just smash some cereal. It is quite a forward way of putting it however it sounds as though that would help more in relieving stress. And it does. However this cook booklet is essentially using cereal in replace of breadcrumbs and graham crumbs something that has not gone amiss with the home cook throughout the years. Making toppings, breading and crusts is easier as long as your pantry has numerous boxes of cereal. I know at any given time mine has 2 -3. The majority of the recipes are desserts, although breads, confections and main dishes are featured. The Bean Burgers and Hot Curries Chicken Salad caught my eye as well as the Lemon Freeze dessert. 

The temperature has been hot here in E-town and the temperature is on the rise for this weekend. After reading Lemon Freeze I felt compelled to post the recipe and share the recipe's photo, from the booklet with you. Enjoying this dessert might be one way to cool down this weekend.

3/4 cup Kellogg's Corn Flake Crumbs or smash Corn Flakes cereal to make 3/4 cup

Hope everyone has been having a good week. Mine has been busy and hot! - JW
