No fat in the Rice Krispies but plenty in the butter or margarine that goes into making the treats. You just can't win.
Has anyone ever tried an off-brand of RK, like a grocery store's brand? They are so much cheaper but do they taste the same?

I feel like it's time to have fish for dinner. Hen House Market had some cod fillets and I plan to bake them with chili powder, cumin, oregano, butter and lime juice. I saw a recipe for steak fries where the potatoes are baked with bacon on top, then the bacon is mixed with a mayo mixture. The mayo might be good with the fish too, instead of tartar sauce. Finally I thought about making stuffed tomatoes but all the ones that look good have cheese. Isn't cheese and fish supposed to be a no no somewhere? I found a recipe for cherry tomatoes and onions stuffed in half a red pepper and baked. I am not sure which one is going to be better. Also I only have one oven and am not sure about getting everything done so it's all still hot. Maybe I should re think this.

Yes... we had supermarket brands of RK's and the no name big clear bag, and made the treats...Taste was stale, and I said to Tina.." I don't hear them saying snap / crackle / pop!"
We didn't like them...

Cod is my favorite. Actually, the dried salted cod (stinky ) is my favoite.

I used this recipe but left out the Old Bay seasoning. None of us likes it.

Thanks bugs.... looks delicious just from the mind putting it together........
I won't use the Old Bay until I plate mine. The rest don't like it. I love it. My brother introduced it to me when he lived in Baltimore MD.... The spice is made there or at least it was. I love it on my corn on the cob drenched in butter and old bay.

I was just tryin' to make Jimmy feel better about scarfin' down an entire loaf pan of the RKT's....I mean, TECHNICALLY, the main ingredient has no fat. (and, YES, I did read about how Tina makes them with a whole bunch of butter......) lol
I've used the store brands of Rice Krispies....NOT a good substitute found yet. They all taste 'stale' to me. Only the original tastes right. So, I just wait to buy them when they're on sale and I have a coupon.

Fabulous meal, Norm! Looks like you had plenty of cod for everyone. Glad to see you still make your 'non-tartar' sauce....Hahahahaha, boy that was a fun one!
**************
Ohhhhh, Jimmy. I LOVE Tina's potatoes & onions braised in that sausage fat. My mouth waters every time I see 'em.
***************
a carrot tart? Boy, you better explain that one when you can post pics....don't forget! We had roasted cauliflower the other night when I did the party leftovers into a different meal. Good stuff.
*********************
Bugs, the seafood lasagna sounds great....I'd sub real crab leg meat for the fake crab ~ just don't care for that at all. One time some lady at the seafood counter 'insisted' I try a sample of her 'wonderful' Krab Salad...."tastes exactly like crab salad" she exclaimed. I told her no thank you but she kept pushing it at me....sure I would love it if I would just taste it. So I did. Spit it right back into the little paper cup and said, (rather loudly) "that tastes like crap!". She wasn't happy. But I DON'T like the fake krab. If I say, "no", let it go and try with the next person....

The buzzer just went off on the computer ( e-mail notify )...and I swear, I am here cutting the rice crispy treats, and laughing about how to disguise how much I am cutting. No No, I don't cut big pieces. That's no fun. I cut small. and eat lots. It feels less fattening that way. I deserve it anyway, because I shoveled plenty of snow today. I burned 8,000 calories, and put back 12,000 with the crispy treats. LOL

Where is the recipe for the treats Jimmy? Can't make 'em till I know how.
I wouldn't know if imitation crab was good or not. I didn't care for the smell but the others thought it was fine. I think all fish is cat food. I had a cheese sandwich for dinner.

BARB...THEY ARE REALLY EASY... Use parchment paper to the pans. A wet rubber spatula in water works great for mounding and shaping the loaf without sticking. The batter IS sticky; just so you know!
Another note is once they are cut...watch when baking on the cut sides. I do 5 minutes on one side, and then flip over and continue to bake only like 3 minutes.
They keep well in a tupperware container.
This is the recipe from Dom Deloise "Eat This"

1 + 1/2 sticks of butter.
1 bag of fresh marshmallows.
6 Cups Rice Krispys
In a large NON STICK pan, melt butter, add marshmallows....Stir Stir Stir till they melt and are all a creamy liquid. Add six cups of RK's and blend in. Work quickly. Pour / spoon / scrape mixture into a buttered 13 x 9 pan, and press and flatten out the mixture. Let set and cool, Cut into squares as you eat them.....
Note! I add a teaspoon of vanilla to the marshmallows when it just melts for that extra flavor.
If you read the original recipe, it's on the Rice Krispy box...usually, it says 1/2 stick of butter...Yuck! They come out hard and dry, and even hurts the gums when biting into.
The original recipe is horrible.
Tina's recipe, they are pliable, and much enjoyable to chew and eat.
