One of my daughter’s favorite cereal is fruit loops, so I usually have at least one box of this colorful cereal sitting in the pantry. After looking at it every day, I’ve been wondering if there are any recipes out there to make things with fruit loops. We’ve used it for crafts (fruit loops make cute necklaces), and as colorful and sweet decorations on iced cupcakes.

I’ve been thinking about crushing some up and making a pie crust (similar to a graham cracker crust) out of them, but haven’t tried it it. With some pudding filling and a few more fruit loops sprinkled on top, that might make a fun kiddie dessert.

I posted awhile back about regular oatmeal, but I’ve had a special request to post about leftover oatmeal. You know — that gooey stuff remaining in the bowls when the kids have decided they’ve had enough.

I just hate to throw out food, but I don’t know what to do with it. So, creative moms, do you have any recipes or ideas to use leftover oatmeal? I’m listening.

My friend was just telling me that she makes her French toast with Rice Krispies. She said it’s just heavenly.

Here’s what she does -

She dips the bread into the regular egg & milk mixture, then dips it into crushed rice krispies.

Then, she fries the bread like normal French toast. I’ve got to try this. Sounds great!

So, what do you make with Rice Krispies Cereal?

I could have sworn a long time ago that I saw a recipe for Raisin Bran cereal muffins. Anyone bake with Raisin Bran cereal?

If so, please tell me your favorite recipes and ideas for using Raisin Bran.

My kids love oatmeal and we always have a few tubs on hand.

I’d love some ideas and recipes for things I can make with oatmeal other than the standard bowl of oatmeal with milk and sugar.

So, what can I make with OATMEAL?
