quick cooking question

I am planning on making pork chops with corn flake coating, but because I am trying to avoid HFCS, I bought multi-grain flakes instead of corn flakes. What do you think? Will this work, or should I try harder to find organic corn flakes or skip the coating altogether?

Should work fine—but I'm guessing Trader Joe's has organic corn flakes if you want them. I know it's a 20-minute drive; it was for me when we were in Decatur, but it was worth it now and then.

Now that we're living closer to it, it's a lot easier. And today I discovered that they sell individually-wrapped boneless skinless chicken breasts (in an exterior bag). Man, that makes my job SO much easier, and I bet it'll be a very long time before I have to throw out chicken because it's gone bad before I could cook it.

We've been there. It's barely worth the gas $ even for 2 buck chuck. I did try at Fresh Market and they didn't have organic corn flakes either. I'm not sure if they exist. If they do, the HFCS might have been all the taste that they had.
