Mornings are hectic and I usually like breakfast to be simple. Honey N
ut Cheerios is usually our go to cereal; it’s the one that our kids agree on. We do occasionally get some “fun” cereal for snacking and for treats. I was asked to try out the new Trix Swirls. I figured my kids would enjoy it, I did when I was a kid.
General Mills is one of the world’s largest providers of ready to eat breakfast cereals. Like the rest of their Big G cereal line, Trix is fortied with vitamins and minerals plus made with whole grains. With the addition of milk and fresh fruit or juice it becomes a balanced meal to help get your kids busy day started. New Trix Swirls is a little different than what I was used to growing up. They now combine 2 fruity flavors in each crunchy puff. I was supposed to tell you what my kids thought about the crazy new combinations but the box was empty before I knew it.
Along with the box of Trix Swirls cereal came with a bunch of cool artist supplies (a colorful apron, a set of watercolor pencils, watercolor paints, brushes, a sketchbook, and an art supply box). Sabreena loved the HUGE sketchpad and immediately started drawing with the watercolor pencils at the kitchen table. She the artist of the family so the fun gifts were hers but Shaun is the snacker so he’s probably guilty of dusting off the cereal on his own.
My Blog Spark wants to give 2 LookWhatMomFound…and Dad too! readers Trix Swirls Creative Kid Gift Baskets. Tell me some crazy, funky, gross or funny food combinations you or your kids have tried. Shaun’s latest dinner experiment was mashed potatoes and ketchup; it wasn’t a good outcome.

My husband has tried peanut butter and ramen and that's just a little nasty to me!
When my mom was watching the kids a few weeks ago, she was mixing cornstarch and water to thicken a stew. My daughter saw her with the water/cornstarch mixture and instisted that she liked it and wanted some. My mom told her that she didn't, but she kept insisting, so my mom finally gave in. I guess she changed her mind pretty quickly. (We think she thought it was frosting/glaze.)

I have no idea what he was thinking, but recently, my boy made a peanut butter, chocolate syrup and pickles (YES – I said PICKLES) sandwich. I looked at it curiously, and decided I couldn't write it off without ever having tried it, so I did. Know what? It was pretty good. Different, yeah, but not bad.

The weirdest thing I think I ever tried was a jelly fluff sandwich. I did that as a kid just to be weird.

my kids have occasionally made "potions" where they mix together assorted staples from the pantry, and end up with mixes of syrup, ketchup and coca cola or what have you, but they would NEVER try anything except the most boring of concoctions, darn picky eaters.
