Cereal | Pad Patter 3.7.24

We had cereal quite a bit growing up (all the unhealthy ones). Some of my faves: cap'n crunch, cinnamon toast crunch, honey oh's, cracklin' oat bran, golden graham's.

But I rarely eat cereal now. Usually for a snack and it's the more "healthy" kind like Special K.

My kids have cereal once a week. It's like a treat. Haha. But it's usually Cheerios, Mini Wheats or Chex.
I tell my kids they are spoiled because they get a healthy warm breakfast every morning except for one. I'm not sure if they are buying it.

Golden Grahams are the best!

Your kids are definitely spoiled with healthy warm breakfast!

I ate a lot of cereal growing up and even in early adulthood: Trix, Honey Grahams, Honey Bunches of Oats, even sometimes Lucky Charms. But a couple of decades ago, I gathered an understanding about how unhealthy it is and it became an occasional treat. Eventually I stopped liking any of it. Except granola. I still like granola and eat it occasionally, as an evening snack. I consider it a way to get more Vitamin D in me, from the soy milk I pour over it.

Vitamin D is important! I’m glad you still enjoy granola. I haven’t had any for awhile but now I want some.

I'm not a big cereal eater (or breakfast for that matter). But I do love Lucky Charms once or twice a year. And I occasionally eat oatmeal or cream of wheat because they remind me of my grandpa. When we were kids, my grandma would sleep late, and my grandpa would make us cereal with brown sugar and half & half. That's the only way I can eat it now.

I’m not a big breakfast eater either.

I love cream of wheat but haven’t had it it in a long time. Might have to have some in the morning!

Are you a cereal lover? Not usually. I really have to be in the mood, which isn't too often.

When’s the last time you had a bowl? Hmm, I think it was about 3 weeks ago. We had some of the Trader Joe's brand, Honey O's, so I had a small bowl. I could go for some hot cereal right now...like Co Co Wheats.

Any old or new favorites? Yup!
New: My daughter buys the Seven Sundays brand and there are several I really like. She also gets this peanut butter one from Purely Elizabeth that I like.
Old: Life, Chex, Cocoa Pebbles, Cocoa Krispies, Co Co Wheats, Rice Krispies, Reese's Puffs, Cocoa Puffs, Crispix, Corn Pops, and Kix.

If cereal isn’t your thing, what’s your breakfast of choice? I love some good French Toast, some scrambled eggs with cheese or a good veggie omelet, and crispy bacon!

I forgot about Life! Cinnamon Life is a favorite for sure. I also like Crispix.

Your breakfasts of choice sound much better than cereal!
