Feed The Resistance: Match Madness!

It’s “Match Madness” time at The River Food Pantry.  For Match Madness, an anonymous donor has pledged to match every dollar raised, dollar for dollar, up to $25,000!  This year’s Match Madness donations will be used to purchase breakfast cereal, so everyone can start the day with a good nutritious breakfast!  Make your donations to The River Food Pantry here!

In honor of Match Madness…and the cereal drive…this week, I made “Breakfast for Dinner”…and did a little cooking with breakfast cereal.  Of course the first thing that comes to mind when I say “Cooking with breakfast cereal” is “Rice Crispy Bars” – but I wanted to something a little different, and NOT make a dessert.  So I went really old-school and found a recipe on the Betty Crocker website…Baked Honey-Mustard Chex Chicken Fingers!  It’s a really simple recipe – first dipping the chicken into a mix of mayonnaise, honey and mustard and then into some crushed up Chex cereal, and finally baking it in the oven.  The dipping sauce for the chicken strips is a simple combination of equal parts honey and mustard.

Dee wasn’t in today, so instead Helen Osborn-Senatus, the Director of Operations at The River joined me…and to pair with the chicken fingers, she served up Rogue Honey Kolsch.
