My breakfast weakness is real chocolate milk, ice cold.

Golden Grahams! And, no, its not my comfort food.

French fries are a definite go to for me if I'm wanting to indulge.

Okay I think I have your new screen name,
"Cheerio"
It's sounds a bit like "Cheryl O" it's bright and peppy, and it represents something wholesome that you love!
What do you think?!
:-)
p.s. I like Life, Special K and Mini Wheats, but my "comfort" cereal is Irish Steel Cut Oatmeal, with a little brown sugar and milk...

My all-time favorite has to be Cinnamon Toast Crunch. I'm a fan of the Kashi cereals though. The Blueberry crunch with flakes is good.

Comfort food is my grandmothers' southern cooking. Corn bread, REAL grits, collard greens, pulled pork, and squash with cheese. YUM.

Though I do eat Cocoa Krispes, Cap'n Crunch especially when they come out with their Christmas time ones.

My favorite cereal is something like "Pumpkin Flax" from (I think?) Nature's Path. It is honestly the YUMMIEST CEREAL I have tasted...so decadent.

It USED to be Shrek cereal...not the one you can get now, but the older one that was like sugared Corn Pops with marshmallows. Of course, I was pregnant at the time so maybe it was a craving thing!! :)

I am also a fan of most Chex (except Wheat and Chocolate), Life, Honey Bunches of Oats, Banana Nut Crunch, and Special K Red Berries.

I love all those sugar cereals, too, as well as Cookie Crisp! But my all time favorite is actually somewhat healthy - Grape Nuts, with a little added sugar! Although, sometimes I fear I may break a tooth on one of those things.

I don't really eat cereal much and we have stopped buying the sugary kind. BUT, if calories weren't an issue I could easily down a box of Cocoa Pebbles. Runner up is Peanut Butter Cap'n Crunch. YUM!!

For comfort food I reach for potatoes, usually any kind of cheesy potatoes. Mac and cheese does the trick too.

answers from Redding on

My favorite is Cream of Wheat.

When it comes to cold cereals, I admit, I always add a bit of chocolate to the milk. That goes for raisin bran, honey bunches of oats, etc.

My other favorite is adding yogurt to granola instead of milk. It's pretty wonderful.

Raisin Bran has been my fave since I was a kid. Yes, I'm a weirdo! I always think of Cinnamon Life and Golden Grahams as really special treats!!! Cereal is definitely a comfort food...hubby and I love it for a meal, snack or dessert. Both kids don't like it which is the oddest thing to me. I ate so much cereal as a kid... I really can't believe the LO doesn't like it since that and peanut butter were about the only things I ate while pregnant. Oh the cereal cravings were UNBELIEVABLE when I was pregnant!

Cinnamon LIFE

Nature's Path granola (from Costco) - I put some of that in plain Greek (Fage) yogurt, and add some sliced bananas & dried cranberries -- HEAVEN in a bowl!

Cocoa Roos (generic for Cocoa Puffs) - cheaper, and I prefer the taste

The granola is a comfort food for me, because it is actually healthy, so I don't feel guilty eating it ;-)

I like Special K --protein plus. I haven't had sugary cereal for about 20 years, and I can't honestly stomach it. If I want comfort in the morning, I make french toast or waffles. I absolutely love cheese and mushroom omelets.

My favorite cereal is good old fashioned Corn Flakes. I do put some Equal in the milk to sweeten it up a bit. I also like Rice Krispies. I will occasionally eat Fruity Peebles and Cinnamon Toast Crunch, but only in small doses. I don't like the overly sweetened cereals.

There is no context though for the U.K's Marks and Spencers triple chocolate crunch. It is to. die. for.

Capn Crunch! My fav right there. I used to like Fruit Loops, but a developed cherry allergy makes it impossible for me to eat. Well, not impossible but the results are not pretty.
