As we approached the holidays last year, I began to realize that time and circumstance was not going to allow me to do my usual holiday baking. While my son and I both are trying to lose weight, it just seemed wrong not to have SOME treats for the holidays. So when a family member dropped off a couple of big boxes of Rice Crispies, I called my 12 year old son from work and told him we would make some treats together. He responded enthusiastically, but then admitted sheepishly that he had already opened a box and had a big bowl. I responded that I didn't even know he liked them! Since then, I have learned that having Rice Crispies available in the mornings is one of the easiest ways to lure that boy out of bed for school! Who knew!
