Breakfast Cereal Discussion Group

Count chocula baby

I don't eat boxed cereals (did as a kid - Cheerios and Shreddies, Grape nuts, Cracklin Oat Bran come to mind)...but did any of you ate those little boxed varieties? My mom would buy a variety package when we went camping...and my brother and I would fight over who got what.
Back then the variety we had though didn't include the over the top sugared ones though...


I lived with someone who ate Nature's Path cereals. They sure are good, but I would end up eating it straight up out of the box...

Traded all my breakfast cereal for steel cut oatmeal. No more cereal for me.

That is no way to live!

OK ok, my 7 yr old daughter has convinced me to join her on Saturday for a bowl of Frosted Flake Lucky Charms. Some strange hybrid Franken-cereal.

I'm afraid...

You should be afraid. Of the impending addiction. It is sooo good. My 8 year old asks for it and I eat half the box.

Whenever I pour milk over my cornflakes, the scoop-like shape of the flakes act as a ramp for the milk to launch out of the bowl and onto my kitchen counter. It happens so often that it makes me laugh.

So, Cornflakes. Endearing frustration? Or inherent design flaw?

What cereals do you hate and love?

Please indulge me. I'm very tired and bored.

You're doing it wrong. Pouring too fast, bowl too shallow, milk too high from the bowl, too much corn flakes in the bowl, .......

I eat cereal almost every day of my life. Half the time might be corn flakes. I don't usually splash the milk on the kitchen counter.

corn flakes get too soggy too quick - they turn into mush

give me frosted mini-wheats or fruit loops or chocolate cherrios any day o the week

Only the cheap discount brands get soggy too quick. And perhaps you need to eat faster or use a smaller portion.

I was dizzy and starving by 10 am. Last. bowl. Seriously bad stuff.

oh man, that cereal is amazing to me! MY favorite is peanut butter Chex. It's my evening treat. But I only eat it dry - no milk.

Cinnamon toast crunch ice cream sounds yum. I'm having a hard time imagining how lucky charms translates into ice cream though.

I eat oats straight from the box. They're already steamed at the factory so I don't cook them any further for myself. I do cook the oats for others along with grits, wheat and all of the other grains. There's a reason that I eat uncooked oats and it has to do with winning blue ribbons at the county fair for my livestock. There are certain grains for stacking on some weight and then backing off for some definition and that's all I'll say about that.
It's a family secret.

I do like this vid about Oats With Daddy.

I believe in taking what you need from a bunch of different sources. My protocol is not just plant based but the oat thing, 1-3 times a day hasn't hurt me one iota.

oats as a staple of one's diet ??

..... hopefully those two womenz aren't teenagers.

Nah, they eat much, much more than oats. They have all kinds of plant based podcasts. I just like the power of oats with Daddy. There's always room for oats and Daddy which reminds me of Danny Thomas and St. Jude Hospital and we're off and running. So long now.

Oooo, oats and cooked grains are not just for 'old people'. Out here, toddlers eat them, too.

Puts cereal to shame

This is good, but it takes a lot more preparation time than a bowl of cereal.

I have no desire to try the lucky charms. The cinnamon toast crunch is delicious though, I would recommend.

I like mini wheats, special K, bran buds, raisin bran, and Nature’s Path sunrise.

Sometimes I make slow cooker steel cut oats with apple cinnamon and a touch of honey.
