![]() We are big fans of Annie’s Organic Cereal and I can feel good about feeding my family a fun breakfast that’s delicious and made without artificial flavors, synthetic colors, preservatives and artificial sweeteners like high fructose corn syrup. Once it’s set and we break it up, it’s a free all-we stand around the kitchen counter with a glass of milk and enjoy it until we can’t eat anymore. The boys always have a hand in making it. And now as parents, we are always trying to create those special memories for our own kids. I think it’s the nostalgic feeling it evokes for both Matt and me. There is just something about cereal and Saturday mornings that go hand-in-hand. Sometimes eating on the sofa watching their favorite cartoon and, most recently, eating our new favoritecereal from Annie’s. We have breakfast unhurried and together-sometimes at the table, sometimes not. It’s also one of the reasons it’s my boys favorite morning of the week. I don’t want complicated breakfasts, no crazy morning rushes and we stay in pajamas until we need to leave the house. Wait, wait…I don’t think that phrase means what I think it does.Here’s my thing: Saturday mornings are for being lazy, slow starts and easy everything. Regardless of how they taste, when these cereals are released in April, you’d better believe that me and so many others will be “making like rabbits” to go out and try them. ![]() At the very least, I can dream that Frosted Oat Flakes will be like a glazed version of the already delicious Trader Joe’s Toasted Oatmeal Flakes. I can only hope that the bunny cereals taste just like their Bunny Grahams in a bowl, just because I’m so desperate for a spiritual successor to Teddy Grahams Breakfast Bears. Instead, the three flavors are Berry Bunnies, Cocoa Bunnies, and the conspicuously non-bunny shaped Frosted Oat Flakes. I will say, though, that in my college town, the brand is best known for its legendary and addictive Shells & White Cheddar pasta.įortunately (or perhaps unfortunately depending on who you are), none of these cereals are mac & cheese flavored. They even had a larger line of cereal that lasted from 2007-2012. Annie’s Homegrown and General Mills have just announced the launch of three new USDA certified organic breakfast cereals.įrom soup, to yogurt, to crackers, Annie’s has a bigger product line than a litter of rabbits. Move over, Trix Rabbit: you aren’t the only bunny in the cereal aisle any more. These bunnies will start hopping to the cereal aisle in April! #cereal /YawgOSzbg3 And although that hasn’t been the case historically, hare hops spring eternal. Naturally, one assumes that quality costs more. This one, for instance, runs over $4 USD at my local Walmart for a relatively dinky box. It’s a cute concept, often with a nightmare-conjuring price tag. Remember Annie’s Homegrown? They make feel-good versions of classic favorites, like organic boxed mac and cheese, organic graham crackers, and organic fruit gummies, all in the shape of their lagomorph mascot. We grade Gaussian around these parts, folks, no matter how much one may love log. Once in a while, we need to be reminded that superb bowls (heyoo!) exist only in light of normal, unremarkable cereal. But it’s hard to compare everything against the crème de la crunch. We know that no cereal on the market today can, however mighty, topple Cracklin’ Oat Bran from its lofty position-even if matched by other exceptional staples. What constitutes a perfect 10 in, say, pizza? Are there dual systems for thin crust and deep dish? Such are the fodder phantasms that haunt my countertop in the night.Ĭomparatively, then, I’m grateful for pantry paragons that act as polestars. I won’t feign presumptions on how those who write about lesser foodstuffs manage to assign numerical ratings. When you’re reviewing breakfast fare, a scale is necessary. Or bunnies, to be seasonally appropriate.
