Tightwad Tuesday - Crusty Cereal

   Did you get the outside edge of your cake you just baked too done? Is it a little too hard and crusty on one or all sides? Not to worry. It isn't a total waste. In fact, it can be turned into something very delicious!

I apologize in advance for no other pics, as when I did this with my chocolate cake the other day, I ate it all before I thought to take pics along the way.  And I really don't want to purposely try making another one just for the pics.

Cut off the portion that is hard and crusty, even if it is a little toasty. It will still be good. Now, cut this hard, crusty portion up into small, bite-sized pieces.

Place these bite-sized pieces into cereal bowls and pour milk over all. And there you have it! Homemade Cereal!! It is actually very good, and your kids will think it is great fun! If you unfortunately have a large amount of toasty cake, you can always cut it up and freeze it to use as cereal for breakfasts, as desired.

Nothing wasted, nothing tossed. But awww.... poor chickens. They didn't get to eat the boo boo this time.

Have a wonderful day and scrumptious cooking this week!
