I made chicken teriyaki in the oven last Sunday and I got a little too enthusiastic adding the marinade to the pan. It bubbled all over the oven in big, sticky, burnt-smelling gloops. When will I learn to line the oven with aluminum foil? Not before last Sunday, it would seem. So when it came to…
On-the-go breakfast bars
Are your kids good at breakfast? My girls are not. I mean, they eat breakfast every single day, but a bowl of cereal has not touched their lips since the Farex days. They won’t do toast either.
