Great Snack

Instead of Chips or Cookies...

Using assorted Breakfast Cereals,

making my own snack mix has been

a huge hit for at home and on the go this summer.

Rather than grab a bag of chips or cookies for our

trips to the beach, I grab a large Ziploc Bag and fill

it with a few cups of each of the Breakfast Cereals

from my pantry. Everyone is happy. You can add nuts,

marshmallows, pretzels, or dried fruit, but the Cereal

alone seems to be just right in this corner of the world.

When we are on the go...they eat it dry, at home...they

eat it dry or with milk, making it an even better snack choice.

Get out your coupons and watch for Breakfast Cereal bargains.

Publix has a Buy one Get One Free most every week on some

sort of cereal and with coupons on top of the sale...Cereal

becomes an economical snack also.

My children think they are the only ones who don't get to have

all the "junk" sugary cereal on a regular basis. I don't mind

buying some of the "junk" sugary cereal for snacks, especially

if it is mixed with less sugary cereals or consumed with milk.

When they want the "junk" sugary cereal as the main part

of breakfast, that is where I draw the line and say No.

I don't' allow myself to eat my favorite, Corn Pops Cereal for

breakfast, only an occasional snack. I have resigned

myself to Oatmeal with ground flax seed as a fact of life

and a matter of health.

If nutrition did not matter....what is your favorite

Breakfast Cereal? Do you like mine? Corn Pops?

Are you old enough to remember when they were called

Sugar Pops?
