Like Dessert for Breakfast?

IF cereal with milk is a good breakfast, how is a slice of apple pie, not a good breakfast? Or make mock apple crisp with zucchini and/or eggplant. Vegetables, oats, brown sugar--healthier than cereal.

Cereal is never a good breakfast. It is just refined flour with tons of sugar!

A friend of mine eats her dinner leftovers for breakfast. Personally, I would save them for lunch.

The only cereal I have -- great on a cold winter morning -- is oatmeal. Add a few golden raisins and there's no need for sugar at all.

That's about the only good cereal Red. Or some made from quinoa.

I agree. So many breakfast foods (cereals) are pushing the sugar rather than the cereal grains.

On the other hand, the doctor told my daughter to offer shredded wheat as a snack to her constipated little one. Seems that it works really well. And works naturally.

shredded wheat added to shopping list. Normally go with raisin bran.

When I was a kid we got Shredded Wheat, (you know, the ones that come in big bales) , oatmeal or plain old Cheerios.

I loved spending the night at a friends house where they had Cap'n Crunch, and Lucky Charms. I can still feel the roof of my mouth, all tore up and with some kind of greasy coating from the Cap'n Crunch. I wouldn't have had it any other way either.

Have yall seen the apple roses that are all over facebook lately?

I don't do Facebook, but my third graders make roses like this every year out of clay. Cool idea to use apples.

I eat homemade granola every morning. It is mostly oats, made with very little added fat or sweetener. I do put in a bunch of chopped almonds and walnuts, some unsweetened coconut, and wheat germ. Somehow, I never get tired of it.

You WERE raised in my home, weren't you???? Hay bales, Ralston wheat cereal, cream o' wheat, oatmeal, Cheerios if we were lucky.

And, yes...the grease coating of the Cap'N'Crunch...what IS that stuff???? Never had that kind of cereal until I visited friend's homes as a teenager.
