We have five children and with every pregnancy, I have had morning sickness for nine months straight. The only food I was able to eat on a regular basis was Rice Krispies. I would eat this delicious cereal for breakfast with bananas, lunch with a sprinkle of sugar and dinner with two spoons. It was the only food for months that I could keep down and that actually tasted fairly good. I watch my children now that they are growing and I have found that all of them love Rice Krispies. I believe, that they all knew that this food was what was keeping keep-ing them alive for so many months. Maybe they will always al-ways be tied to the umbilical cord through Rice Krispies. I am finding that with a little bit of creativity, I can serve Rice Krispies in many different ways. Contrary to popular belief, be-lief, there are many things you can do besides making a pan of Rice Krispies Treats, if you have a box of Rice Krispies on hand. You can make desserts, main meals and just a tasty snack. This week may you have a bowl of Rice Krispies with a fresh cut banana and a large glass of grape juice (with ice) and think of me.
