Hot on the heels of Mother’s Day, comes news that
Queensland restaurants and café are charging big bucks for breakfast.
I love a breakfast created for me by someone else as
much as the next mother
But I must say I’m not up for paying $3.50 for a
serve of butter when you’ve already shelled out $4.50 for a plate of dry toast.
(Seriously? If you’re not happy about it, vote with your feet.)
Luckily, my Mother’s Day was served up to me in bed.
And made at home, by my two mini-Masterchefs.
Yes, both children decided they needed to cook me
breakfast, and even Tech Guy couldn’t convince them to work together to make just one. He did, however, do
the supervision safety thing whilst making me a good cup of coffee – all while
I enjoyed my longed-for sleep in.
I couldn’t fault the chefs, the barista, or the
service, which was followed by presents in bed.

Harmonie's cheese and bacon omelette
On normal working/school days, cereal and/or toast
and fruit are usually the order of the day.
So I was intrigued when we were asked to trial
Kelloggs Australia’s (http://www.kelloggs.com.au)
special ‘eat me crunchy’ bowls, which
are designed to keep your cereal dry. And crunchy.
The idea is that you put the milk in the bottom of the bowl and let the cereal sit up top. Then you simply dip your cereal into the milk and eat. Perfect for someone who prefers the cereal to stay crunchy, not soft!
We all know breakfast is the most important meal of
the day, breaking the overnight fast and kick-starting the metabolism, mind and
body for the rest of the day.
Kids who eat have breakfast perform better at school
(as do adults at work, study and play)), and we all tend to eat less when we’ve had a decent
start to the day. You don’t need me to tell you.
Plus eating cereal is also way cheaper (and usually healthier)
than eating out, and quicker as well during the morning rush. In fact a bowl of Kelloggs cereal would cost around 27 cents, depending on the size of the serving.
So even a serial cereal eater won’t break the bank,
right?
But did you know that the way you eat your cereal
reveals a lot about your personality.
Apparently so!
Food for thought?
Even Buzzfeed has weighed in on the cereal debate!

Alas, I did not get breakfast in bed. I got up and made everyone else's breakfast LOL
I don't eat a lot of cereal mostly because I don't love milk so when I do eat cereal I usually eat it with yoghurt.
I like my cereal to be crunchy. I have perfected the technique over the years of practically inhaling my cereal lest it sog up. (sog?) This also has the benefit of being a time saver.
I don't like soggy cereals at all, the texture becomes like wet cardboard. Sadly, in the hustle and bustle of the mornings, my cereal is usually soggy. I definitely prefer crunchy.
I love my cereal crunchy! Nothing is worse than starting out enjoying a big bowl of goodness and being left halfway through with a bowl of soggy floating flakes. Also a big fan of eating cereal dry, by the handful e.g. Fruit Loops! But only on special occasions of course :)
I am a soggy cereal person, my daughter likes hers with milk but 'al dente', and my son, he likes his dry, like Seinfeld!

Crunchy, because I like the look on my dental nurse twin sisters face, when I make loud noises while chewing!
my cereal has to be crunchy and have lots of milk
I like to eat my cereal dry, like chips!
Definitely crunchy. The key to doing so would be to only use a little milk. Yum!
Definitely Crunchy because I love the sound and having to chew makes my cereal last longer!!
Crunchy all the way. I don't like my cereal soggy.
As a mum to four children I have learned to love soggy cereal. The days of crunchy anything are long gone!
I love crunchy breakfast cereal, with nuts, and crunchy flakes served with very cold milk
I must admit I am a "straight out of the packet" eater..or if I have anything its greek yogurt.
Hate soggy or too crunchy cereal. I always use the same bowl so know exactly how much cereal to milk ratio.
Crunchy with a dash of milk :)
I like mine dry and on the go :)
Crunchy! with added nuts and seeds, mm my mouth is watering at the thought of this.
We go through 6-9 litres of milk a week. I would be pretty sure we like our cereal "wet"!
mixture of crunchy and soft. Love the texture of crunchy but milk soaked cereal is brilliant too
Crunchy but with lots of milk... so the idea is to eat fast! Then slurp the remains. Yeah I know, great role model :P
I love crunchy :) just a touch of milk too.

Crunchy, with fresh strawberries halved and sliced banana. The milk left over then becomes somewhat of a fruit smoothie drink. gauntsteven@yahoo.com
Crunchy always, can't stand soggy cereal
i like soggy weetbix. yum.
frangipanni23@hotmail.com
crunchy for sure, hate soggy cereal yuck! arballantyne@dodo.com.au
I love a surprise so will take my cereal in any shape, form or taste, preferably Kelloggs though!
Scrunchy... the perfect halfway point between soggy & crunchy, because life is all about balance!
There is nothing better than hearing that crisp crunch of the cereal as it hits the milk for only a couple seconds. There's a fine line for me between edible and inedible (a slight hint of sogginess means i'm over and out!)!
I am not much a breakfast person, but I find that if I eat something CRUNCHY it gives me something to think about as it crunches in my mouth.
I love cereal with a bit of crunch and the milk has to be really cold first!
I am a huge cereal lover sometimes i even have it for dinner or dessert i like my cereal crunchy at first and then a little soft so i guess mixture of both this bowl is very interesting.
