Try fried oatmeal! There is a recipe in NT. If you put some cinamin and

stevia and nutmeg and butter in a batch of oatmeal porridge, then you fry it

in even more butter, the taste of the cinamin comes out deliciously! If you

use the NT recipe with the egg it will stick together better. Fry it just

till it is slightly browned and slightly crisp and flip. I would think

anyone would love it.

Maybe rather than cold turkey, try to get hooked on other things. Serve

bacon and toast more often-- bacons not the healthiest thing in the world but

it beats breakfast cereal by a long shot. Everyone loves bacon and toast (I

think...). I would definitely eliminate breakfast cereal eventually, but,

well, for me, I don't crave it or miss it at all. I always ate it more out

of convenience than taste. It just doesn't compare to a real breakfast like

scrambled eggs bacon and toast (sprouted whole grain of course). Or, dare I

say it, home fries??? You know how many things you can do to potatoes???

Bake 'em mash 'em roast 'em fry them in so many ways.... oh, potatoes, I

can't have any right now :'( But, on the bright side, you can! :-P And for

a treat, rather than sugar coated breakfast cereal, I'd always rather some

french toast, waffles, or pancakes!

It's a little more effort in the morning, but it pays off when the food hits

your taste buds, not to mention health, and I'm sure your kids will give up

breakfast cereal eventually if you stuff them full of bacon, eggs, toast,

homemade sausage (when you grauduate to that... and me), hash browns, home

fries, leftover roasted potatoes (they're even good cold IMO) , waffles,

pancakes, and french toast!

Good luck!

" What can one say of a soul, of a heart, filled with compassion? It is a

heart which burns with love for every creature: for human beings, birds, and

animals, for serpents and for demons. The thought of them and the sight of

them make the tears of the saint flow. And this immense and intense

compassion, which flows from the heart of the saints, makes them unable to

bear the sight of the smallest, most insignificant wound in any creature.

Thus they pray ceaselessly, with tears, even for animals, for enemies of the

truth, and for those who do them wrong. "

You might try them on homemade-kefir smoothies. I don't

tolerate milk well, but kefir is ok, and it has lots of good

nutrients, plus all those probiotics.
