Posted: 12/13/2010

(NAPSI) - It may be time to think outside the bowl when it comes to breakfast cereal. Not only can a bowl of cereal be a nutritious breakfast option, it can be used as an unexpected recipe ingredient.

Melissa d’Arabian, Food Network star and host of “Ten Dollar Dinners,” has created a series of classic recipes with a creative cereal twist.

As a mother of four, d’Arabian understands that cooking creative dishes that are easy on the wallet and tasty can be a challenge. With inspiration from Kellogg’s cereals, she has created a series of videos to show the versatility and value you can get from cooking with cereal. These delicious and nutritious recipes can help at-home cooks create a new spin on mealtime with simple, cost-effective dishes.
