I was raised to believe that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. My mother always said that as long as you had the basic 4 food groups (I am very old - ha ha), it did not matter what you eat. So we were raised on PB&J, left over pizza, mac and cheese, spaghetti and of course lots of fresh fruit. The whole thing is, eating spaghetti or pizza and driving does not work well. So I came up with the following "Crunchy" receipt.

In a very large bowl place

3 cups of a rice cereal
3 cups of a corn cereal
2 cups of a soy cereal
1 pkg of carob chips
2 cups raisins
2 cups dried cranberries
2 cups chopped walnuts
2 cups chopped almonds
2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon of ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon of ground ginger

Mix well and place 1 cup of the mixture in each of 16 zip-lock bags and place by the door (so when you leave you can pick up a bag. I like taking the crunches to work with me along with a container of yogurt and a banana.

Variations of the receipt can include changing the types of cereal, nuts and dried fruit used. I do not like most dried fruit so I stick with raisins and dried cranberries. Once in a while I will add dried cherries. Also, personally, I stay away from gluten and sugar covered type cereals.

Have a great morning.
