Seinfeld Loves Cereal Too Much To Return to TV

        

     Jerry Seinfeld will never do another television show because he likes using Cheerios coupons too much. That might be oversimplifying the situation a bit, but according to the man himself, eating cereal is one of the things he loves, and that thing would be disrupted too much if he were to produce/star in another sitcom.

         Jerry, no longer the bachelor he played on the hit 90s sitcom that bears his name, now has three kids and he recently told a crowd at one of his live shows that his morning ritual of pouring four bowls of cereal – one for him, and one for each of his kids – is one of those things he really appreciates and is unwilling to sacrifice.

         Besides, the 57-year-old says that another show is unnecessary because “I’m old, I’m rich and I’m tired.” Seinfeld’s new life – the kids and the fact that he’s been married for 12 years now – might provide plenty of new material if he were to do another sitcom. It already provides the material for Jerry’s standup act. 

         “A lot of wives complain about their husband not listening,” Seinfeld said to the crowd of his latest sold-out performance. “I have never heard my wife say that.”

         The comedian also continues to find humor in the world as he observes it – Cialis commercials, Pop Tarts, standing ovations, and 5 Hour Energy (“meth-lab Hawaiian Punch jello shots”) were also punch lines at the show.

         But Seinfeld also assured his audience that as long as the world continues to be weird – presumably, forever – even all the Cheerios coupons in the world won’t stop him from asking questions, making comments, and telling jokes. It’s nice to know that some things never change!

Frosted Flakes Are Good For You?! It's True!

       

          I’ve recently gone on a health kick. It’s because I’m getting married next year, and I want to look great in the dress (duh) but eating really healthy can be a real pain in the butt. I used to just shop based on store sales and discounts – if I had Frosted Flakes coupons, I’d eat cereal for breakfast for a while, if oatmeal was buy-one-get-one-free, I’d eat that. But the most healthful things aren’t always the most cost-effective, and that’s only one part of the problem – the foods high in nutrients like fiber are rarely the highest in flavor. I’ve had enough cardboard cereal to know!

         After two months on the pre-matrimony diet for masochists, I nearly jumped for joy when I flipped through the paper and found Frosted Flakes coupons for a new cereal that’s really the trifects: healthy, delicious, and affordable. What is it” Frosted Flakes with Fiber and Less Sugar! I’ve loved Frosted Flakes since I had teeth to chew cereal, but I thought I’d have to give them up in favor of “grown-up” cereals with more nutrients and less sweetness. This is the perfect compromise, and I’m so excited to see Kellogg’s improving classic cereals with the advanced nutrition so many consumers are looking for. I hope healthy Captain Crunch is next! 

Cereal Cocktails: 3 Ways To Make Breakfast Yummier

         Does your morning routine ever seem a bit … boring? Eating the same cereal all the time can be a bummer. Sure, you can use cereal coupons to try new flavors and mix up the routine, but you’d just be swapping one plain old cereal for another. Instead, try these cereal cocktails, which are more nutritionally complete (and more delicious) than cereal alone. Diversity is a beautiful thing.

           For those with a sweet tooth: Mix ½ cup cheerios with ½ cup special K. Top with t tablespoons of walnuts, ½ cup sliced peaches, and drizzle with one teaspoon of honey. Add milk as desired.
           Warm things up with this treat: Stir 1/3 cup canned pumpkin pie filling with 1 crushed graham cracker into one cup of cooked plain oatmeal. Sprinkle with a bit of cinnamon and voila – guilt-free pumpkin pie for breakfast.
           Pack a crunch: Mix ½ a cup of Wheaties with ¼ cup lowfat granola, ¼ cup trail mix, and a sliced banana. Add milk as desired.
         After trying these yummy recipes, you’ll probably come up with loads of inventive ways of your own to mix and match with cereal coupons, yogurt, fruit, nuts … the possibilities are endless. You’ll be a cereal mixologist in no time!

Cheerios Apple Cinnamon Crisp

My parents have a couple of apple trees in their backyard, and when the apples are ripe, we eat apple EVERYTHING. I love it at first – fresh apples, apple pie, apple cobbler, baked apples, apple chips …. after a few days, I’m appled out. This year, we’ll be using the apples from our backyard and Cheerios coupons to make this Apple Oat Crumble, courtesy of the recipe people at General Mills. Having one more recipe might stretch my apple-consumption capacity a bit.

INGREDIENTS

         4 cups sliced, unpeeled apples (3-4 medium apples)

         2 cups Cheerios cereal

         ½ cup quick cook oats

         ½ cup brown sugar, packed

         ¾ teaspoon cinnamon

         1/3 cup butter, firm and unmelted

HOW-TO:

         Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

         Arrange the apple slices evenly on the bottom of an ungreased 8 or 9 inch square pan. In a medium bowl, crush the cereal and then mix in oats, brown sugar and cinnamon. Cut in butter – small slivers work best. Sprinkle this mixture over the apples.

         Bake 30-35 minutes. Cover with foil and bake another 10 minutes.

        

         I like this recipe because it takes about ten minutes to throw together, and with ice cream, it takes about as long to disappear. With a few Cheerios coupons and the apples from my parent’s yard, this recipe is almost free to make – and it’s yummy enough that I’m actually excited for those apples to get ripe.

         

An Ode To Magnificent Marbits

The problem with Lucky Charms is the same problem that every cereal has -- there just aren't enough marshmallows in it. Lucky Charms has an undeniable advantage over almost every cereal on the market in that is does have some marshmallows in it -- I just wish there were more. I think Lucky Charms also has an advantage over its marshmallow-containing competitors in that it bears the distinction of being the original marshmallow breakfast cereal -- sorry, Count Chocula and Marshamllow Mateys, but you're kind of encroaching on Lucky's turf. Plus, I always seem to find the best Lucky Charms coupons, so I'm biased towards it in that regard. Anyway....

I knew I was not the only person to have thought that cereal marshmallows are quite possibly the world's most perfect food, so I did a bit of research online and found all sorts of marshmallow madness is just waiting for those who choose to pursue it. There are sites where you can buy giant bags of nothing but cereal marshmallows -- see those bags in the picture above? Nothing but mallows!! These bags look like the result of the kind of cereal-factory production accident that children dream of, and they only cost eight dollars a pop. And if you think these little babies are only good for cereal enhancement, you're thinking too much inside the box.

The marshmallow's manufacturers suggest dozens of delicious things one could do with an endless supply of marshmallows. Just imagine: with all the time you'll save ordering marshmallows direct instead of using Lucky Charms coupons to buy multiple boxes of cereal just to get enough marshmallows, you'll be able to whip up such exotic creations as cereal marshmallow mac n' cheese (i'm not kidding -- they list it on the site) and cereal marshmallow pancakes. Or, you could put them in your hot cocoa, mix them into a batch of brownies, or make a bowl of Wheaties edible -- whatever suits your fancy. How?
