I am a big fan of Bob's Red Mill's 10 grain hot cereal. Iam always trying to incorporate it everywhere. So when I learned about their 10 grains flour I had to try it.
These honey flax flakes from Newman's Own are big enough for the kids to eat dry as a snack. They also have them with milk for breakfast - I crush them down a bit before adding the milk.
A too-good-to-believe grain. If you have heard of Chia, then the way I understand it, Salba is it's first born much cared for big brother. 
The multigrains in this multigrain baking and pancake mix from Trader Joe's are wheat, whole wheat, rolled oats, yellow cornmeal, wheat bran, oat bran and brown rice flour. What I don't like about it is that the first ingredient is unbleached enriched flour. What I truely hate is the sodium - 500 mg for 1/3 cup of mix, 21% for an adult. Which is why I won't be buying it again.
When I saw the cream cheese stuffed bagels from Kim & Scotts, I wanted to surprise my husband one morning and hand him a favorite breakfast for the road without worrying about the mess. Then I started reading the ingredients list (unbromated flour, and I learned something new!) and liked that as well.
I remember buying boxes of VitaTops whenever they went on sale. That was years ago though and so when I saw these again recently, I picked up the deep chocolate (for me) and the golden corn (for him.) 
Just to make it clear this post is about MY liquid breakfast. As every mom knows some days you just need it in the morning. These kir royale and mimosa jams from Stonewall Kitchen are just perfect - they actually have real champagne! Even with added sugar they are not overpoweringly sweet.
I bought these Pillsbury toaster strudels to introduce something new at breakfast. I served them without the frosting though. My son took to them right away but my daughter accepted them at my 3rd attempt.
My very own nutritionist (sis-in-law) mentioned how she didn't really like these bagel-fuls from Kraft because there was too little filling for her taste. So of course I had to get the twins to try them - there will definitely come a time when they will be eating "cream cheese with bagel." 
Since I had much success with St. Dalfour before, I picked up their Four Fruits spread when I came across it. It has strawberries, raspberries, cherries and black raspberries in equal quantities. 
I think black currant is a fruit that is really not getting it's fair share of popularity/publicity. I read about it awhile ago and how describing it's benefits would start sounding like a snake oil advertisement, "twice the antioxidants of blueberries, four times the vitamin C of orange juice, as much potassium as bananas…."
For me there is salt, pepper and nutella. In a food blog you don't think to blog about salt, right? Which is why even though the kids have been eating it for a long time, I didn't mention it.
Some days I am a slacker. Then I have to buy bread. This 15 whole grain bread from Pepperidge farm is not as grainy or hearty as it looks and sounds. Actually I was a bit disappointed. The twins though didn't seem to care or just didn't let on if they did.
An impulse buy (price reduced,) this maple agave syrup blend from Trader Joe's is a miss. It is just too thin and too sweet. Yes, yes I realize it is 'syrup,' but …..I thought it would be more like pure maple syrup.
Iam somewhat obsessed with whole grains in the twins diet. These Van's waffles caught my eye with their 8 whole grains - wheat, oats, bown rice, dark rye, barley, quinoa, amaranth and millet.
The recipe is for 10 grain muffins but I don't have a muffin pan yet. So I improvised and substituted. I used whole wheat flour instead of unbleached flour and two small eggs instead of one XL egg.
This 5-grain puffs cereal from Beechnut looked promising - something beyond muesli. They didn't turn to mush once they sat in the bowl of milk which is usually a good thing. But the twins gagged on it. 
My daughter loves to eat 'buggies.' She ate up the pieces of kiwi with glee calling the little black seeds 'buggie, buggie.' I want my kids to be adventurous eaters but I am not so sure about her fascination with eating insects.
My daughter really likes raspberries and she eats them straight - no honey, graham cracker coating or anything. In fact when I gave them a 'fruit salad' of strawberry, raspberry, papaya and mango bits, she picked out and ate all the raspberries and yelled for more. To her brother they are just some interesting fruit that are acceptable to eat.
This kefir from Helios is thicker (it blobs out when you pour)and more tart than the one from Lifeway.
