Snickerdoodle Waffles Recipe

June 20, 2011 By 6 Comments
Whenever I get back from traveling my husband makes dinner. He is awesome at taking care of me like that, and really good at making breakfast for dinner. He decided to make something he’s never made before and he came up with Snickerdoodle Waffles. The recipe is adapted from the Krusteaz Pancake recipe on the package.

Gerber Graduates Breakfast Buddies Hot Cereal Review

May 29, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Every morning I make breakfast for my husband, my 11 month old, and myself. We almost always sit down together for breakfast which I think is a pretty special thing. Sometimes it’s toast and eggs, sometimes it’s oatmeal, and sometimes it’s just good old cold clip_image002cereal. The trouble comes though when it is one of “those” mornings. You know, when the overnight diaper leaked, the dog tracked mud in the house, the sink clogged up, somebody is sick, and you just frankly don’t feel like making breakfast. That’s where something like Gerber Graduates Breakfast Buddies Hot Cereal comes into play.

Gerber Graduates Breakfast Buddies Hot Cereal is a great product put out by Gerber with a list of qualities that are so important in the food we feed our kids!

Product Highlights

  • Made with whole grain oats
  • 2 grams of fiber
  • 10% daily value of 8 vitamins and minerals
  • Made with natural flavors
  • NUTRIPROTECT™—Nutrition for Healthy Growth & Natural Immune Support
  • clip_image004No preservatives
  • Wide tray opening, for easier spooning
  • Designed to be stable on the table
  • Convenient, just heat & serve
  • Spoon hugging texture that is perfect for toddlers learning to self-feed
  • Ready to eat in just 20 seconds

clip_image006I was lucky enough to get 3 samples of this product. I tested out the Apple Cinnamon type on my little guy. It was a pretty successful experience. He is just beginning to use spoons and the texture of this oatmeal was perfect. It was thick enough to stick to the spoon, but soft enough for him to eat easily. As far as taste goes, this flavor was pretty sweet. I really liked the fact that you could see the actual pieces of apple mixed into the cereal. When Gerber says that the product includes real fruit, they mean it! These Breakfast Buddies may not be for everyone’s everyday use, but for “those mornings” or for travel, Gerber Graduates Breakfast Buddies Hot Cereal bowls are a great option. I also received samples of the peach and cherry flavors, but we donated those to our local MOMS Club cereal drive.

Thank you so much to Gerber for the samples as well as the donation to our drive!

Hot Topics Jimmy Dean The Sun & Mom Start & Jimmy D’s Giveaway

September 14, 2010 By 370 Comments

At BlogHer 2010 I met with Jimmy Dean’s The Sun. The sun is a big golden light that all the planets revolve around and he has all kinds of information and knowledge about breakfast. The Sun commercials are quite humorous and when I tell people that I met the sun, they laugh! Not because it is a crazy thought that I met The Jimmy Dean Sun, but because internally they are remembering one of those commercials.

 

 

I had a lot of fun talking to the Sun, we chatted for about 30 minutes while the camera men were getting set up. I was most intrigued by the fact that he lived in Washington State for a period of time.

At BlogHer everyone had the opportunity to taste new Jimmy D’s breakfast foods. We were some of the first people to ever try them. They are lower in calories than you would expect any out of the box, into the microwave breakfasts could possible be.

griddlesticksThe New Jimmy D’s Griddle Sticks:

These have 7 grams of protein, 8 grams of sugar and only 6 grams of fat. They are sausage wrapped up in a pancake with only 160 calories.

The New Jimmy D’s French Toast Griddlers:

Toast GriddlerThese have 8 grams of protein, 6 grams of sugar and 8 grams of fat. They are french toast sandwiches with turkey sausage in the middle with only 210 calories. Remember that the sandwiches are bigger in size than the griddle sticks.

I tried both of these at blogher, and when I didn’t know how many calories were in them, all I did was have a bite. I was very worried about over eating while I was at the conference so I had a little bit here and a little bit there. I could have easily gotten away with eating the whole thing. After trying both samples, if I had to pick a favorite it would be the Griddle Sticks.
