Hot cereal for a cold morning

Don't you hate it when you find something you really like...

and then it disappears!

Either the store stops carrying it, or the manufacturer stops making it.

That happened to me recently.

I have a loooooong morning at school, so I need a good breakfast. Last year, I discovered a breakfast cereal that I loved. Bakery on Main Ancient Grains Amaranth Multigrain and Quinoa Multigrain.





Then they disappeared from the grocery store.  😥

Then Amazon said Out of Stock - not sure when it will be restocked.  😥

Then they weren't available on the company website. 😥

I was so sad. 😥😥😥😥😥😥

Their oatmeal multigrain cereal is good, but I can't eat oatmeal every day. It just doesn't fill me for the morning.

 I was forced to find an alternative.

I made my own quinoa in advance, then heated it in the microwave each morning and added in an assortment of berries, hemp seeds or sunflower seeds.








The berries taste much better than they look!

I may have buried the quinoa in sunflower seeds.

Tri color quinoa



The pictures don't really show it well (and they loaded backwards).
Amazon said the cereal was back in stock, so I ordered it, but they sent Blueberry Scone Oatmeal instead.

I was sad again. 😥
Amazon refunded the money.  Happier, but not happy because I still didn't have my cereal.

Today, as I was preparing this post, I found the cereals in stock on their website again.

I am cautiously optimistic.

But in the meantime, I learned that even though I've never been a fan of quinoa, I actually really like the tricolor quinoa as a hot breakfast cereal with nuts and fruit added.



And now a funny Halloween side note:

These hay bales were set out for Autumn decorations, but with all the rain and heat and sun, they started to sprout!
