Hey Bruce... have ya ever had cereal WITHOUT milk? It ain't half bad when ya look at it as a SNACK-FOOD to munch on (maybe with sliced bananas or strawberries and other finger-food nummies on it?). OR... if you're looking at cereal ONLY as fiber, sprinkle crunchy cereal over ice cream as a topping. How 'bout lining the pan with corn flake crumbs when ya make macaroni 'n cheese and toss some crumbs on top before baking? Dip chicken in corn flake crumbs before baking (TOTALLY yummy!). Rather then see cereal as the usual breakfast meal that DEMANDS milk be poured over it to qualify for that "BREAKFAST" label, how 'bout trying a BAGEL for breakfast? Think BIG, Bruce, and put a differnt spin on breakfast - have a bagel instead of cereal one day as a test case <grin> It'll work fine! (Trust me.. would _ I _ lie about a BAGEL?) <giggle> Barb Mallut (who's suddenly famished!)
