[Krispie]

I headed to the bakery for a few things this afternoon after running some errands. Not a good idea to stop in hungry for snack time!

2012-01-30 16.57.41Blog

The crew had just finished a batch of Valentine’s Rice Krispie Treats! I don’t know the last time I had one of these, but it’s at least been 4 years because I couldn’t find one on KERF! I had half for my snack – scrumdiddilyumptous. As the labels says “Satisfies your inner child” 🙂

2012-01-30 17.01.27Blog

Back at the fort, hot dogs were on the menu. Or rather, organic chicken sausages on bread.

IMG_5476Blog

Matt wasn’t able to make hot dog buns upon request this AM, so we improvised. Worked pretty well!

IMG_5477Blog

On the side was a beautiful salad

IMG_5469Blog

Made with romaine, tomatoes, feta, Doug’s Nuts (a sample that arrived at the bakery for me – totally tasty in a sweet/savory way) and Sara’s creamy balsamic dressing that she sent me home with on Saturday. Emailing her for the recipe now…

    The dressing looks so incredible! Trader Joe’s has a pretty tasty creamy tuscan balsamic that looks similar to Sara’s, but I’ve got a feeling that her’s is 138203213 times better 😀

        Paula, is that necessary? If it was just chicken, if would be called that. I’ve never eaten sausages before and assumed it was similar to hog dogs with added ingredients and seasonings. It was just a question and you didn’t have to waste your energy.

      Even though i just know Paula was doing her best to be helpful… this might be what you are after Jen. It’s the nutritional label from the chicken sausage Kath was eating, from the company web site..

          Not really at all Paula .. but it does not take a brain surgeon to answer the question, no matter what you think of the question, or it’s original intent. This is an informational blog right? I have no formal RD education, or ya know, that whole list.. but i really can use Google Search well! Which kinda appeared to be the extent of what was needed here. No one else was ansering and i kinda wondered about the nutritional content of that brand too. We all win, and isn’t that the goal? As opposed to…

          And no i am not defending anyone here.. quite the opposite.. ..

    I find it interesting how Americans refer to them as Rice Krispie “treats,” while here in Canada, they are definitely Rice Krispie “squares.” But that’s just me.

      You know, I used to say ‘squares’. I think Kellogs came out with a store-bought kind that they named RK treats and then we all started calling them that. But they used to be squares when I was younger! Interesting transition..

    I must be craving chocolate or something because your salad dressing looked like chocolate sauce to me. I can’t say that a cocoa based salad dressing sounds all that bad. I love rice krispies!! Yum.

    Rice krispie treats are my favorite “baked good” (though not baked…hmmm). They’re one of the few things I can’t keep in my house due to lack of self-control…and Valentine’s ones look even more appealing!

    Um perhaps this is a strange question but assume you’d know a whole lot more than me, but are chicken sausages as bad for you as say a hot fog or just regular sausages??

    Reply
    • KathEats says

      January 31, 2012 at 9:46 am

      Well that kind of depends on your definition of “bad” 🙂

      Generally hot dogs are considered bad because of the added preservatives and things and a high fat content. They are organic hot dogs that I think are fine to enjoy every now and then. Sausages get a bad rap because of their high fat content as well, and chicken sausages generally are much leaner than traditional pork sausages. Ones that are made with organic meal with minimal added ingredients other than spices/seasonings seem totally fine to me.

    Rice Krispies Treats certainly bring back childhood memories and everyone has their favorite variations. What is your favorite? I preferred them on the thicker and crunchier/drier side rather than gooey and sticky, and loved them with peanut butter or butterscotch chips melted in. Of course the ones made with peanut butter and then topped with chocolate were a favorite. I made a variation last week with cinnamon M&Ms and chocolate drizzle on top that everyone enjoyed. I have a bar that I make for holidays that used a yellow cake mix, egg and butter for a base that you bake then add marshmallows on top, followed by a caramel like mixture that you add rice krispies, nuts and M&Ms to and spread on top. We love chicken sausage here, Trader Joes and the Al Fresco brands, we also used to get some from Sam’s. My kids have some TJ’s sundried tomato chicken meatballs in their lunch today. Can’t wait to see the dressing recipe, thanks for sharing!
