Is it sad that my new favorite thing is cereal??

I am so not up with the times.  I've been known to "discover" things time and again...about a year or three after they came upon the scene.  I have no real explanation.  I can only speculate that I'm just not a bandwagon kind of gal.  I don't like to do things just because other people are, and I don't like to like things just because everyone else does.

Therefore, I've been known to not even try something just because it seems to be the popular choice. 

Weird, I know, since I really, really like to consider myself as quite the hip and happening.

All of that being said, I have discovered the yummiest thing I've had in a while (except for all things cake at Katie's, you understand).  Seriously.  I picked this up at The Fresh Market last week because word on the street is that it is crazy-healthy and well CHUBBY, you know. 

...and y'all it was good.  GOOD is what I'm sayin'.  I have eaten it at least once a day since the purchase - and don't tell but one day I had it for breakfast and dinner.  The thing that makes me happiest is the way it makes me feel completely full and stuffed and satisfied...and 100% disinterested in all things sugar.  I just dump three or four or seven of those strawberries on top and YUM. 


I've always loved my Raisin Bran but color me surprised when I found out it is one of the sugary-est cereals ever invented, and frankly cereal for breakfast has always made me feel yucky anyway.  (I suspect I have an issue with the dairy portion of the cereal experience.)  But, the almond milk solved that little issue and all I feel after indulging in this little repast is happy - and did I mention the good?

So I just wanted to exhort you all, my friends, to be brave and adventuresome and a teensy bit open-minded.  Do not be afraid to jump into 2008.  Go forth and purchase some cereal!


Happy Tuesday :)

p.s.  I do not wish to be educated about the sugar in the milk.  I prefer to consider it hidden sugar and therefore nonexistent.  Don't judge.
