Kringle-Spiced Pringles Cookie Review

Consider mixing-up your traditional holiday cookie batch this year with a recipe using Pringles crisps. Below is an original recipe for Kringle-Spiced Pringles Cookies, created by professional Chef Kyle Shadix. This sandwich cookie combines the savory crunch of Pringles Original Potato crisps with a sweet and zesty jam to create a winning substitute for the boring ginger cookie

Kringle-Spiced Pringles Cookies by Chef Kyle Shadix

Yield: 2 dozen sandwich cookies

1 can Pringle's "The Original"

1 cup all-purpose flour

· 1 teaspoon baking soda

· 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

· 1 teaspoon allspice

· 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

· 2 sticks unsalted butter, softened

· 1 cup dark brown sugar, packed

· 1 egg

· 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

· 1 cup fruit preserves, raspberry or mixed berry

· 1/3 cup crystallized ginger, finely chopped



Directions

1. Preheat the oven at to 350 degrees and place Pringles, flour, baking soda, and spices in a food processor, and puree until the consistency of corn meal; set aside.

2. In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar until slightly fluffy.

3. Add the egg and vanilla, and mix for 30 seconds.

4. Pour the Pringles spice mixture into the bowl and mix for 1 minute; place dough in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

5. Drop by rounded teaspoon onto ungreased baking sheets, and bake for 9 to 11 minutes or until golden brown.

6. In a small bowl, combine fruit preserves and ginger (if desired, ginger is optional); spread 1 teaspoon onto a cookie, and top with another cookie. Instead of crystallized ginger can swap out 2 teaspoons of powdered ginger to the jam.

I had the chance to review these Kringle-Spiced Pringles Cookies and I have to say I was very surprised...in a good way. I knew I already loved Pringles and the thought of them in a cookie was pretty strange but I figured why not? They were moist and soft yet had a little crunch from the Pringles. The jam gave it the perfect amount of sweetness. I knew Dear Hubby wouldn't try them if I told him they were made of chips so I offered him some without telling him the surprise ingredient. He liked them and said they reminded him of the holidays because of the spice flavor.

Follow the recipe above and try them for yourselves!

Kix Cereal Review & GIVEAWAY



"When it comes to starting off your day right, a new survey from Kix found that 84 percent of parents turn to cereal with milk for a quick and healthy breakfast.

Cereal is one of the healthiest breakfast choices parents can make. Ready-to-eat cereal has fewer calories than almost any other common breakfast option, while also being nutrient-dense and convenient. In addition, cereal eaters consume less cholesterol and more fiber than non-cereal eaters.

With the same great taste kids have loved for more than 70 years, Kix makes it easy to serve your family a simple and healthy breakfast! Whether you choose to serve Original Kix or Honey Kix, you can be sure that your kids are getting a wholesome food with nutrients they need to grow.

The "Kid-Tested Mother-Approved®"cereal is made with whole grain corn and is an excellent source of iron. It also is a good source of calcium, fiber, and Vitamins C and D. Original Kix has no artificial colors, flavors or preservatives.

To find out more, visit the recently launched Kix website, http://www.kixcereal.com/, featuring background on the history of Kix, nutritional content, and special offers"



My kids were so excited when our review prize pack arrived. It included a 24-piece counting-themed floor puzzle, fun learn-to-count flashcards, a sippy cup, a portable snack container and a box each of Original Kix and Honey Kix cereal. The boys were already fans of Kix cereal but had not tried the Honey Kix Cereal before. They love it! They both like it as a snack without milk too. J was thrilled with the floor puzzle as well. He's put that thing together countless times and he's even nice enough to let L play with it sometimes too.

Perdue Whole Grain Chicken Nuggets Review & GIVEAWAY



Perdue recently released its latest line of frozen chicken made with 100% whole grain breading. PERDUE Frozen Fully Cooked whole grain breaded chicken is made with 100% white meat and features the Whole Grains Council stamp and provides 4 grams of daily fiber per serving. The line includes Whole Grain Chicken Breast Nuggets, Whole Grain Chicken Breast Strips and Whole Grain Chicken Breast Tenders.

PERDUE® Whole Grain chicken products are packaged in easy-open and close zipper bags so you can use what you need and save the rest for later. These products are an excellent source of protein for mealtime or a snack.

My boys love chicken nuggets! Frankly, I don't know a single kid who doesn't. I have always bought them Perdue chicken nuggets because of the all white meat. When I was asked to try to Perdue's Whole Grain nuggets, I jumped at the chance. I was lucky enough to receive a back-to-school dinner pack that included several bags of Perdue Whole Grain Chicken Nuggets, Crayola Crayons (96-count) and a baking sheet.

I made them for lunch one day and wanted to see if J would notice a difference in taste. I always try new food before feeding it to the kids. I took a bite and I have to admit, I like these whole grain nuggets better than the original. They were juicy and had a great flavor. We are strictly white meat chicken eaters and these were truly white meat. There weren't any weird dark spots in any of the nuggets. Then the real test, the boys. I gave them each several to eat. They both gobbled them down without any hesitation. J even came back asking for more.

Want to try them for yourself? One lucky Oh My Baby reader will WIN 2 coupons, each for a free Perdue Frozen Fully Cooked Chicken product of your choice. Leave your comment by 11:59 pm EST on Oct 8th. U.S. addresses only please.
