I like to have at least two kinds mixed together. The ones I keep on hand vary among Cheerios, Honey Nut Cheerios, Corn, Wheat, and Rice Chex, and Nuts & Honey. When my plastic container gets low with one, I pour in a box of something else and shake to mix. The current batch is Rice Chex and Cheerios. Plus, I always add a scoop of Grape Nuts to a bowl of the mix for both added crunch and fiber. 2% milk. Never any added sugar.
For a while, I thought I was getting lactose intolerant - got rumble-gut and gas whenever I had milk. It turned out that my gut didn't like the trace amounts of growth hormones they give cattle. I found a local dairy that is hormone-free and my milk troubles went away instantly.
Cereal is supposed to be eaten and enjoyed as a breakfast meal
Its not meant to be consumed to make someone’s 80 year old colon release last month’s Delmonico steak
There’s Metamucil for that. Stop hogging our cereal lanes catering to all of this super colon blow mushmeal.
I cannot find super sugar crisp and honey smacks any more. Thanks a lot A-holes
Good post! Somehow this business of eating stuff meant for horses has taken on all of the holy attributes generally assigned to getting up at some ungodly hour not long after midnight.
When I was a kid I always wanted Sugar Pops, or whatever cereal it was that had the cowboy on it. Now I like the Malt-o-meal version of mini-wheats. They're sweeter and toasted more. Or Wheaties with heavy cream.
Wheaties are great with cold, whole, milk. Sliced bananas, even better. As a kid and early adult, I ate lots of breakfast cereals. Only on rare occasions to I ever have it anymore, nor in the last thirty years. Not healthy.
Mom would buy us whatever we wanted, but we had to eat it ALL before we got another box. My brother and I would shop the different choices based on the prize inside. Had to make some difficult choices between a good toy and edible cereal.
I meant they are just wheat. No need to count ingredients to see if they're OK to eat. There's only one.
So folks say if there's more than five ingredients in a processed food, it might be best to not eat it, especially if the ingredients are hard to pronounce.
It's been years since I've had cereal. As a kid I liked Frosted Flakes with cold milk. If I did have cereal, it would probably be with skim milk now. Really an unhealthy breakfast, we don't even have any cereal in the house any more.
You ate 3 lbs of bbq shortribs day before your colonoscopy

Lol!!!
CCCC likes it done ‘awake’
He like to hear the peanuts go ‘clink’ in the pan as they mine em out.
If I need a schittin' cereal, Fiber1 is the one I get. It actually tastes pretty good, to be tree bark.
Total is the inflamed prostate of cereal. It's what lazy Mamas who couldn't be bothered to cook breakfast used to feed their fat kids, instead of Fruit Loops.
One cup glass pyrex container rounded off with steel cut oats, probably near a cup and a half, completely fill 4 cup glass pyrex container with filtered water, bring to boil, pour in oats, stir, put lid on pot, turn off heat and walk away, in the morning, take half the oats and put in same glass pyrex container you measured the water with, throw in a teaspoon of cinnamon, cut up a banana and throw in a big heaping tablespoon of homemade or smuckers natural peanut butter, stir in a scoop of Rule 1 protein powder if you have a lot of work to do that day.
Put remainder of oats in the fridge and repeat the next morning, Wife buys the oats 12 lbs at a time, 6 two lb bags.
Kashi Mini Wheats with Cocoa inside. Low sugar which is good thing as a diabetic. Usual breakfast is oatmeal with maple syrup added. The real stuff not that fake Aunt Jemima stuff.
every morning for 2 years straight I had a bowl of some variation of Cheerios, a banana sliced up into the bowl, along with about 6 strawberries and occasionally a handful of blueberries with whole milk. I just stopped doing it about a month ago. I just got burned out on it

Reminds me of being a starving student in college.
Bulk oatmeal from the bin, $0.19/ lb. Bulk raisins from bin, $1.40/lb
Almost every morning, handful of oats out of the bag, handful of raisins out of the bag, into the pot with some water from the tap.
As a kid I was never fond of oatmeal. Being poor in college changed that for a few months....................then it got really boring.
I still like the taste, but whenever I think of fixing some oatmeal and raisins I see other things around the house and say "nope, not today"
I can even afford now to add some Craisins, maple syrup, cinnamon or whatever to fix it up some, but I still take a pass most times.
It's one of the reasons I'm trying to get an orchard started. For now, I have to buy lugs from the Mennonites. Got me one of them slick coring/slicing goodies just for that. Makes it easy on the wife to make applesauce too.
Like Cheech and Chong said.............."No stems no seeds. That you don't need" (we'll leave off the Acapulco Gold is bad ass weed part)
And I dehydrate apples for when they're not in season. I'm no fan of storage apples in April, or apples from Chile and Peru then either.
They're a whole lot easier to carry in a pack while hunting when they're dried too.
My wife slices them up and cans them. She also makes apple pies, apple sauce and cinnamon apple sauce, which is delicious. We still have several pints of applesauce and canned apples in the cupboard from last year. We have golden delicious, red delicious, sweet sixteen, red prarie spies, honey crisp and cortlands growing out in the side yard.
Around here some of the Grandmas will still dry out apples, usually sun-dry instead of dehydrate, and make fried apple hand pies. Insanely good. Basically the homemade and million-times-better version of a McDonald's Apple Pie. Becoming a lost art though.
I was reading through this wondering if anyone was going to bring those up. The problem is a box of those can be ate in one sitting if you aren’t careful.

my grandmother used to do that. I remember the saw horse drying rack in the back yard full of cut up apples from the tree. She gave them out to friends and family.She brought a plate full of them to her doctor once.

I haven't thought about those pies in years.
They're one of the best things ever, but pretty hard to find now.

Dammm,
I might move to KY for one of them. Or at least come for a visit.

Haven't canned any apples yet, never thought about it. Applesauce gets frozen though.
Wish I had that many trees in production, but we're just getting started and I think it's going to be rough around here. Lost a 5' tall young tree to fire blight this year. Now I know what to look for so can do some judicious pruning when I see it getting started. Couple of folks here have told me it's prevalent in the area though.

I haven't tried it but this recipe looks about right. Her finished product definitely looks correct. After reading the recipe you can see why these are dying out - a hell of a lot of work. Those old Grandmas were badazzes in the kitchen.
Used to be an old womern at our church. Her contribution to our Fall Fun, and hayride event was to make those same little hand folded single user fried pies.
90 something years old with a jumbo Fry Daddy thingamabon cooker.
Disfiguringly hot oil
She’d make 3-4 dozen apple and a couple dozen apricot. was always iffy on whether or not you was going to even get one with 200 chow hounds milling around.
I scored am apricot once, but dayum...I was one of the hay wagon drivers.
They never stayed for the hayride or the cross burning
If so, I wonder if on could leave the "holes" in the donut, split the dough a little, fill it with jelly, pinch the dough closed like them fired pies and make some jelly donuts?
Set me up with a recipe and I'll see what we can do. I have most of a jar of homemade black currant jelly, that would make one hell of a donut!
Had some angle food cupcakes with strawberries and honey the wife made just now. I'm about ready for a jelly donut.

Cracklin Oat Bran...by a wide margin. Damn expensive, though. Wife and kids usually get me a box for Fathers Day. Wheaties and Golden Grahams family size boxes are almost single serving if I’m hungry enough.
In the last year, the wife has perfected sour cream donuts so when she really wants to treat us, she knocks a couple dozen of those out the night before.
