Put It In Your Food Trap! Kellogg’s Krave Cereal, Kashi 7 Grain Waffles, and a Chocolate Cake Surprise

Kellogg’s Krave Cereal: If I haven’t told you in a while, I’m still a cereal whore deep down in my soul. Krave is on the of the newest thangs on the cereal block, and I gotta admit, I like it lots. Krave has a whole grain shell filled with a teeny bit of chocolate in the center, and there is ZERO High Fructose Corny-ness inside. Krave gives you crunchy, chocolatey, whole-grainy and light sweetness all wrapped into one. Just be sure to activate your self control, because you just might Krave the whole damn box until its gone.

Kashi 7 Grain Waffles: Just when you thought your relationship with frozen waffles was going extinct, along comes the Kashi making it taste all extra delicious ‘n stuff. Forget about whatever it is you think you know about instant waffle pucks. Kashi all natural waffles deliver succulent, warm & fluffy texture with 7 grains of glory that truly taste delicious. But don’t just chew on them for breakfast. Kashi Waffles also make a healthy nighttime snack. Just smather on a light spreading of butter, drizzle with a bit of honey and then bite into it whole (no fork & knife required). I dare you to tell me its not tasty that way.

Amy’s Chocolate Cake: If you happen to be hanging around the grocery checkout line this week, go on and snag yourself the January 6th issue of Woman’s World Magazine (the one with Dr. Oz on the cover). Why? Because they’re talking about treats for health-conscious peeps, featuring my greedy opinion on Amy’s Organic Chocolate Cake on page 45. I first told you about Amy’s this past September in a Taste Test, and I still think it’s delicious and totally do-able to enjoy within a sensible diet. I’m a repeat customer of this vegan, organic cake. Click the on image below to enlarge and read my Woman’s World blurb.

…and I couldn’t help but to be inspired by that big azz SparkPeople ad on the right side of the page. Do you see where it says “This is YOUR year!” …I do agree. This IS your year. You bettah grab 2012 by the horns and make it your bitch.

Tasting! Kellogg’s Crunchy Nut Cereal

What’s crunchier than a bag of toenails and nuttier than Greedy Kid #1 asking to borrow the car? It’s Kellogg’s Crunchy Nut Cereal…or did you guess that already?

Had I known this cereal was pregnant with peanuts, I would have gone nut-prejudice and judged without knowing it personally. My first bite of these loud-azz crunchy flakes was infested with the peanut bits glued on by the honey glaze. But wait! I kinda like it. Hmmmm, it’s not too shabby.

Too bad I got seriously turned off by the weird color transformation of the milk. It turns “dirty bath water” color (like this dirty ole man’s bathing waters might look like). I suppose that’s from the molasses and  “caramel color” ingredients.

Eh, I don’t like that part. The milk coloring just seems…unnatural. But I did keep on chewing because it was good. The Greedy Family inhaled the box with their eating-nostrils wide open. And now? It’s all gone.
