Golden Monday

Foodie thoughts are officially entering my dreams. Last night I dreamed about veggie burgers. I think I’ve entered the dark side.

I woke up this morning excited to enjoy an old childhood favorite: Golden Grahams!

The Makings of Monday's Breakfast

I topped my Greek yogurt with a small pack of Golden Grahams and a pack of South Beach Living chocolate-covered soy nuts.

I love overflowing cups of Greek yogurt topped with tasty crunchies!

Mmm, mmm good!

Gossip Girl

I must admit I am enjoying season one of Gossip Girl and it helped soothe my post-family time blues! Watching the show last night with Sadie on my lap and a stack of magazines beside me definitely improved my mood. 🙂

Question: What’s your go-to mood improving tactic?

Honey Nut Breakfast

Who knew such teeny-tiny little o’s could pack such a flavor punch? My morning breakfast centered around the delectable whole grain o’s in Honey Nut Cheerios cereal.

Greek Yogurt, Honey Nut Cheerios, Soy Nuts

I added a nice helping of the honey nut goodness to my Greek yogurt and sprinkled soy nuts on top of the mixture for that added crunch I adore.

Cereal’s like Cheerios take me back to my childhood and the delicious sugary cereal I used to eat all the time!

My top five favorite childhood cereals:

1. Corn Pops

2. Fruit Loops

3. Honey Comb

4. Lucky Charms

5. Golden Grahams

Today I usually eat my cereal hot – in the form of oatmeal, which I also adore, though nothing will make me smile like a huge bowl of Corn Pops.

Today’s breakfast was admittedly lacking the sugar of the breakfasts of my past, but it was nonetheless super tasty! To complete my meal, I added a cup of hot Yogi Tahitian vanilla hazelnut tea.

My breakfast

Stirring the cereal and soy nuts into my Greek yogurt really added a lot of volume which is great because I love digging into a big o’ bowl of yogurt for breakfast.

My tummy is happy! 🙂

Question for you… what was your favorite childhood cereal?
