Kellogg's GF Rice Krispies Review

Over the weekend Bear and I broke open a box of Kellogg's new Gluten Free Rice Krispies. For breakfast we had the plain cereal with almond milk. They snapped and crackled and popped away just like their gluten filled counterparts. They had the same appearance, texture and taste of regular Rice Krispies only with a faint smokey flavor. They were quite delicious and did not rip up the top of our mouths as several gluten free cereals are known to do. One box has almost 12 cups but not quite. We also made peanut butter Rice Krispie squares topped with chocolate and had to open a second box because we ran out. They had the same taste, texture, and consistency as regular rice krispie bars. All in all this was a win for Kellogg's. Thumbs up and Enjoy!

Day 5: Dairy Challange

Breakfast: Toast with tofu cream cheese substitute, 1 cutie orange, and 1 egg with yolk. Yes, WITH yolk. I found out some pretty cool things about the down trodden egg yolk on THIS site.

Snack: Part of this experiment is being honest and not changing anything other than eating dairy. So here is my indulgent afternoon snack of mashed potatoes (made with soy butter and almond milk).

Dinner: This is a family favorite. Ramen (rice bowl from Trader Joe's) with added vegetables and an egg. We call it Anime soup... If you watch Anime, you know why.

Hmm a big difference adding in yolk and whole avocados, but still I know the fats are good fats and so is the cholesterol. Not bad on the rest of them.

Veggie Burger

Yum Yum! Amy's makes such good and tasty products. These veggie burgers were so moist and yummy. Lots of flavor in each bight. I still have not found a good hamburger bun, but this was yummy all the same. Enjoy.
