KELLOGG’S COCONUT & LIME CHICKEN CORN FLAKE LOLLIPOPS AND SNAP, CRACKLE CHILI PRAWNCAKES
With Baby Hero beginning his relationship with solid food I’m anxious [although trying to remain calm] that he learns to love a range of foods and flavours. Just as each of our boys is completely different to the others in shape, size, abilities and temperament, so are their relationships with food.
Baby Hero will eat everything he can touch and hold, and Jensen and Lyoto prefer either food that they have made themselves [and especially grown themselves] or food that looks like fun…and they both LOVE Kellogg’s cereal.
There are some foods we haven’t tried with them, like tiger prawns and dried coconut so we decided that we’d try something a little different to appeal to each of our boys.
After a few clicks and taps on our favourite local hypermarket’s website, ASDA delivered our ingredients – except apparently the big boxes of Kellogg’s cereal were out of stock and we ended up with three packs of mini boxes. They are cute though.
The first dish we decided to make with our Kellogg’s Corn Flakes [a favourite breakfast cereal of our boys] was coconut and lime cornflake chicken lollipops.
Baby Hero really loved the texture of the lollipop, and enjoyed slamming it everywhere as though he was in a Kellogg’s marching band.
Whilst these were cooking, we set to work on our second recipe.
We wanted to try a seafood recipe for Jensen, who seems to have a love of the fruits of the sea, especially those that he can firstly see in their whole form [what I’m trying to say is that he likes to eat food with faces it seems].
We weren’t sure he’d try them, but as usual we held our breath and we were surprised by him. He ate nearly all of the huge tiger prawns that we left whole too. I had one bite before he asked if I was enjoying it, and I caved and handed it over.
The prawncakes were so easy to make and everyone can join in [although the hand washing needs to be closely supervised when working with shellfish of course].
We named these our Snap, Crackle and Chili Prawn Cakes.
As with the chicken, we baked on Gas Mark 7, but only for 15 minutes [or until golden brown and cooked through]. Serve with a sweet chili dip [mix mayonnaise and sweet chili until desired taste] and hope there are enough left by the time you get to the table!
I am totally drooling over here. That sounds like something that would be a huge hit with my family!
These look really tasty especially the cornflakes added. I love using cornflakes with different dishes but I've not tried this one yet.
That looks amazing! I love cooking with Corn Flakes. My grandmother used to use them for chicken breading, and she also made cookies with them.
I've used Rice Krispies and Corn Flakes before as "breading" but never as pops. Nice idea!
I don't like the mix of lime and coconut, but the cereal and coconut alone would be great. Thanks for sharing this.
I use to make chicken fingers all the time with corn flakes! Never tried with the lime though… So definitely trying that out next time!
Oh wow, these sound delicious!! I LOVE coconut and lime together!
When I was pinning this earlier my mouth was watering. Coconut, lime . . . yum! I'll be making this soon. Looks incredible.
The combination of coconut, lime, and chicken sounds absolutely delicious. I'm definitely going to have to give that a try sometime.
Your little chefs are so adorable. I am so trying that chicken pops, looks very tasty and easy to do!
This is such a delicious idea. I've never made chicken like this before. Clearly I'm missing out!
This looks so good! How the heck did you come up with something so delicious?
I want everything that has to do with prawns!!! I’m definitely trying this recipe out!
You had me at Chicken Lollipops! These look really good!!
Now this is a recipe to try, I love the idea of coconut lime and chili together; sounds amazing!
My boyfriend would make this in a heartbeat! We've used a lot of different coatings for food before and this would be perfect.
This sounds like something my kids would love to make! I love getting the kids in the kitchen cooking with me!
Oh my gosh this is so creative and cleaver, most importantly though also so yummy looking. I cannot believe I haven't heard of Chicken Lollipops before lol. I'm definitely going to be trying this out.
This look great for little ones. I'd have never thought to use cereals to cook with but why not?! #tastytuesday
Oh my! Now this makes me miss my mom. She makes such delicious chicken lollipops. And I'm drooling on those prawncakes. I love seafood! Now I'm hungry!
This looks delicious and so creative! Thank you for sharing.
I have a similar recipe I love – now I can add your little touches to change it completely – thank you! and – great family photos and helpers!
My kids would love this! Can't wait to try and make these!
I had a bad experience with a prawn before, but since they look like shrimp, I would substitute that for this recipe. The flavors used here have me curious!
Happy Birthday first off.=) This is such a great post with awesome photos. I would love to try these recipes.
The min I saw the picture of your sons shaking the bag I started singing "put the lime in the coconut" haha. This looks like a really fun and tasty meal to make, plus my kids would love to help!
Very cool post! I love how the boys were in on the fun :-). I've always heard that corn flakes make the best coating. These recipes sound awesome! Thanks for sharing!
This is such an interesting recipe! I'm definitely going to have to try it out!
Love, love…LOVE prawns and I love this lollipop idea! Why didn't I ever think of this?
Wow. Thay looks really good. I've never had anything like that before… I bet my whole family would just adore this!
Happy Birthday! Everything looks so good. I am all of a sudden craving seafood!
My four kids all have different relationships with food too. It makes dinners fun. 😉
Such a cute and fun recipe! Looks really simple too!!!!
This sounds really good. My mother used corn flakes for a lot of things when I was a kid. I bet this lime recipe would be great on fish as well!
It would never occur to me to make savoury food from breakfast cereal but both of these recipes sound amazing! I'll have to give them a go. I'm not sure Elsa will go for the prawns but we will see!
Oh my goodness! These recipes are so unique. Eating food on a stick is so much more fun too. Thanks for sharing! Yum.
I don't eat meat, but that is definitely a creative way to enjoy chicken! I'll have to pass your recipe to some people I know.
Wow, I would always want to try a site which offers food delivery services. Sometimes we really do not have the time to do grocery shopping.
Looks delicious! I never thought of this before.
YOU … are an awesome mom! I absolutely love that you put your little guys to work helping you in the kitchen. And they look like they're having so much fun! Those tiger prawns looks amazing, too!
This absolutely looks amazing. I love cooking with all of these flavors.
I love chicken lollipops, but I had no idea they can be made with Kellogg's corn flakes! How wonderful! Thank you for sharing this. I definitely need to try it! 🙂
This is my favorite kind of dish! I love the flavors of lime with chicken. Looks awesome.
