Strawberry Rice Krispies Treats

In an effort to use more of the Rice Krispies Cereal that I have stockpiled, I am experimenting with different recipes. My first batch was Banana Treats.  They turned out so good that I decided to try a different flavor.   I found several recipes using strawberry marshmallows. 

I purchased the marshmallows and thought they were good but it didn't quite have the strawberry taste I wanted.  I added a box of strawberry creme pudding to the next batch...much better.  You could also go somewhere in the middle and use one half a box of pudding with the strawberry marshmallows.  It's your treats - make them your way!

Chicken Breeding Charts

A friend gave me these charts several months ago.  I have no idea where they came from or who deserves the credit for the work.  There are probably more charts out there so if anyone knows where they came from, I would love to hear from you.

I plan to breed and sell Cochins, Silkies, and Millie Fleur D'uccle this spring.  These charts will be useful when I get ready to separate them but I still need help in deciding what to do with the white and buff chickens.  Does anyone have any suggestions on where I could find information on chicken genetics for dummies?  I have found other charts but  they seem to be very detailed and wordy.  I love these simple chicken drawings where you can simply glance at the pictures and see what the results would be.  

Update:   A kind reader gave me the link to the origional post on Backyard Chickens forum.  You can check out that link here.   

BANANA RICE KRISPIES TREATS

I have several boxes of Rice Krispies  in my stockpile so I pulled one out and decided to make rice krispies treats.  I try not to make them too often because I could sit down and eat the whole thing.  Seriously….I could cut it into two giant pieces and say I only ate two bars.  It’s that bad. 

 I decided to make banana pudding treats since I had this lovely box of banana pudding just sitting in my pantry.   I used a whole box of pudding in my rice krispies but if you like a milder taste, you could just use ½ box.  If you don’t have pudding on hand but have some banana flavoring, you could use that instead.  Just add it to the marshmallows after they have melted.  It still taste like banana but you lose that pudding taste.

January Sunset on the Farm

The sunset was so pretty when I got home that I had to grab my camera and head outdoors.
