I got a giant box of rice Chex a while back and it is consistently a bust with Olivia (and everyone else here except Riley). It's been hanging around for months, hogging the Rubbermaid cereal dispenser, so when I recently bought a family-size box of something else that won't fit in the cabinet* I figured it was time to boot the Chex.
It is not my instinct to make Chex mix at this time of year, but I recalled them developing a plethora of recipes in addition to the traditional one. I settled on Lemon Buddies because they just spoke "summer" to me and I've already been through two rounds of Lemon Coolers. I love the smell while zesting lemons, and I put the zested-but-unjuiced one in my iced tea while the buddies cooled. Plus Lemon Buddies are fortified and gluten free, right? Great way to spend a 92° non-naptime. (But we're not talking about the singing currently coming from the crib.) Up next on my Lemon List: Arnold Palmer cupcakes, y'all.
*My sweet little grandmother used to rip off the top few inches of each cereal box so they would fit in her lazy susan. I seriously thought about doing that, but now the family size cereal is in the container and I have Lemon Buddies.
