Individual Peach Soufflés

Properly airy and messily delicious, these peach souffles are an elegant (yet easy) ending to any summer supper. Or heck, perhaps just have these for supper.

Pieces of chicken fingers, a smear of ketchup and two toddler sized forks on a white sheet.

Chicken Fingers

No funnily named fillers. No mystery meat. Just chicken and cornflakes and little tykes clamoring for more.

Four bowls filled with chopped chicken and vegetables all topped with golden crusts
