"breakfast food" news and stories

OK, this is just plain freaky. When I sit down to eat a meal, I don't want to see its eyes. It reminds me of that Nightmare on Elm Street movie where Freddy Krueger's body had all those writhing faces of his victims. In this pic, all I can think about is the little cereal pieces screaming "help us!" in a high pitched voice.

Though I can imagine the pancakes singing and dancing in an animated Disney movie.

Finally. After a couple of days of food holidays like National Crab Newburg Day and National Cherries Jubilee Day, here's something I can really sink my teeth (and fork) into.

Not that I do that often, actually. The only time I seem to eat pancakes is if I go out for breakfast, which isn't often at all. But it's one of my fall resolutions to change that.

Yes, I make fall resolutions.

Here's a recipe for Blueberry Pancakes and here's one for Blueberry Ricotta Pancakes, both from About.com. CDKitchen has a recipe for Raspberry Chocolate Chip Pancakes, while AllRecipes has one for Dad's Delicious Whole Grain Pancakes. Sarah told us about Banana Cocoa Nib Pancakes, and they look great.

Don't forget the maple syrup!

Love cereal? Well, then you and Jerry Seinfeld may soon be paying a lot more for the stuff (though I'm sure the increased cost won't bother Jerry too much).

Because of unfavorable weather conditions in key areas (who knew one of the places we get our wheat for cereal from was the Black Sea region of the Ukraine??), the cost of wheat is going up, and if those prices continue to be high then companies like Kellogg and General Mills will have to raise prices on their boxes of cereal.

If that wasn't enough bad news? The price of milk is also going up! Milk prices in the U.S. are up 3% this year, and could skyrocket towards the end of the year.

I know Sarah has mentioned before that she isn't a big fan of Cold Stone Creamery ice cream, but I have a feeling this flavor may be enough to change her mind, especially knowing how much she adores French toast.

In an attempt to make ice cream acceptable at all times of the day, Cold Stone has introduced French toast-flavored ice cream (apparently only available for a limited time) and has made one of their custom desserts called "French Toast with the Most™ - the flavored ice cream topped with apple pie filling, pecans, and cinnamon.

Acceptable breakfast food? Maybe not, but it sounds tempting enough to try.
