My goal this year is to try something new- a new recipe and a new activity with my toddler- every week in 2012.

Week 1- recipes

I tried two recipes this week- the links to the recipes are below.

Slow-cooker cilantro lime chicken: HERE
Cake batter rice crispy treats: HERE

 The cilantro lime chicken was easy- it was a slow cooker recipe so you just throw everything in. It tasted pretty good. We decided to shred ours up and use it as taco filler. The recipes calls for 0-2 jalapenos depending on how spicy you like it. I did one and it was just right for us. I don't think this recipe will make it into our normal rotation, but it was good.



The cake batter rice krispies on the other hand were AWESOME! Really so tasty. I always end up eating way more than I should because they are so light. But one note- the recipe says to mix half of the sprinkles in as you are mixing the rice krispies. I used the little hard circle sprinkles, and the colors bled. The rice crispy treats still tasted delicious, but they looked kind of green. So the second time I made them, I just put the spinkles on top.
