Cereal for Dinner

February 2, 2011 by Julie 57 Comments

It happens to the best of us!

Sometimes a big ol’ bowl of cereal makes the perfect dinner.cereal for diner 001I knew my dinner had to come together in a flash tonight because I had plans to meet up with my friend Merri at Starbucks this evening.

When I arrived home and found a package from Pssst with a sample box of gluten-free Honey Nut Chex on our doorstep, I knew cereal for dinner was unavoidable. It was calling to me.  (Quick note about Pssst in case you’re interested… Anyone can sign up for free to provide feedback to General Mills about their products and taste samples!)

As I sorted through the mail and unpacked my lunch bag, I ate several handfuls of this cereal straight from the box. I am a cereal-lover but rarely buy it since I have serious issues with portion control around it. (I’ve eaten an entire box of cereal in one day two times in college. Froot Loops are seriously addicting.) Well, this box of tastiness hit the spot for this cereal-lovin’ girl.

After eating multiple servings straight from the box, I eventually poured some into a bowl to enjoy with milk (no milk in the picture because I didn’t want it to get soggy while I snapped photos).

Alongside the Chex, I also had a bowl of pistachios and a Kashi TLC honey toasted bar that I ate in the car on my way to Starbucks.

At Starbucks I drank a hot cup of Tazo Calm tea because apparently I’m a grandma and thought the calm tea sounded like a perfectly relaxing drink after a long day at work.

Merri arrived about 10 minutes after me and we spent a good two plus hours talking away. Merri is one of those friends who make hours pass like minutes because we have so much to talk about and genuinely enjoy just hanging out together. She’s a gem!

Now that Merri’s gone, I’m wrapping up this blog post at Starbucks before heading home to Ryan and Sadie! Can’t wait to see my favorite duo!
