Recipe researcher Sheila Kern is going healthy for the New Year. Here are three recipe suggestions that will keep you on track for another few days.
A blueberry smoothie for breakfast? The berries are on sale at Raley's and Save Mart and cartons of yogurt are always reasonable. No reason not to start the day with a creamy smoothie. When it comes time for dinner, it doesn't get much easier than the two baked chicken recipes below. The key ingredient in these two recipes? Kellogg's cereal. Enjoy and Happy New Year.
