Catherine ~ Tonight we tried the Corn Flake Chicken. It worked well with the Special K w/almonds.
However, we didn't care for the sweet broccoli. Hubby said, it just didn't taste like broccoli to him.
I love trying new recipes. Some I'll do over and over, and other it's fun to try.
This new one looks really good.
Have a great Sunday!

Reading your posts really make me miss my Grandma Gambino, she made some awesome pasta, I have always wondered if the shapes of various shells hold sauce differently?
