Grape Nuts were a step up from the corn flakes, cheerios and shredded wheat that were typically on our breakfast menu growing up. Rice Krispies were too, not so much for the flavor but the sounds they made when you poured milk on them. Mom didn’t buy sweetened cereals but on special occasions (usually Sunday mornings) she’d let us pour a little maple syrup on cheerios.
Winter fare was porridge with raisins, oatmeal, cream of wheat or occasionally my favorite, Coco Wheats. In winters on special occasions honey was substituted for maple syrup.
This thread sue brought back some fond memories. Thanks
