Win a 2-Month Supply of Organic Breakfast Goodness!
**Entries are now closed. Winner to be announced on Nov 10th!**
As we head into the season of indulgences … holiday parties, gifts of fudge, cookie parties, gingerbread houses, appetizer platters, and well, you get the idea … I thought a little nutrition might be in order. While you can’t negate that rum-spiked punch and those decadent truffles, you can start your day off right with a good dose of organic, whole-grain deliciousness.
Not a breakfast person? This prize package also lends itself useful in creating wonderful recipes, from crispy coatings to delicious snack bars (of course, some recipes are forthcoming … perhaps a week’s worth of inspirations?). How you use this jam-packed gift is up to you, in fact, the winner even gets to choose their prizes!
One of you will win a two month’s supply (8 full-size boxes) of U.S. Mills brand cereal products of your choosing – hot or cold; Erewhon, New Morning, or Uncle Sam’s brands; flaked, sweetened, or in a bar format; gluten-free, vegan, and/or soy-free – they are all available to you!
But wait, there is more! The winner will also receive:
- A Patagonia T-Shirt from U.S. Mills
- A Convenient Little Coupon Keeper (perhaps with some awesome cereal coupons included?) – I have one, and it is so perfectly sized for trips to the store.
If I could win (which I can’t), I would go for the following assortment:
- Erewhon Organic Corn Flakes (so verstile) – see my review
- Erewhon Organic Crispy Brown Rice (a must for no-bake goodies) – review and recipes on deck!
- Erewhon Strawberry Crisp Cereal (we devoured this) – see my review
- Erewhon Kamut® Flakes (so unique, I loved them) – see my review
- New Morning Original Oatios (love the simplicity, but the Fruit-e-O’s are probably yummy too) – see my review
- Erewhon Maple Spice Instant Oatmeal (warm, comforting AND low in sugar) – see my review
- Uncle Sam Instant Oatmeal (cool weather, hearty goodness) – see my review
- New Morning Cocoa Crispy Rice (for my choco-holic husband) – we haven’t tried this one yet!
But half the fun is picking your own variety pack! So …
To enter to win:
- Leave a comment here telling me, “Which cereals and/or bars you would pick if you won?‘ Head over to the U.S. Mills website and check out the Erewhon, Uncle Sam’s, and New Morning product lines to get a gander at all of the organic and natural products you have to choose from.

My recipe:
Crunch Parmesan Chicken
Crunched up corn flakes
Butter, melted
Basil
Chicken Tenders
Parmesan Cheese
Defrost the chicken tenders. In one bowl combine the parmesan cheese, basil, and corn flakes. Dip them first in the melted butter then in the parmesan cheese mixture. Bake on 400 degrees for 30 minutes. Enjoy!
Organic Instant Oatmeal sounds good to me. We like oatmeal but I’ve never bought or for that matter seen any organic oatmeal. Gimme!
Best oatmeal cookies ever!
Con Cookies
1 cup white whole wheat flour
1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) Earth Balance
1/2 cup packed dark-brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups quick oats (not instant)
1 cups raisins (chopped in a food processor)
1 cup raw sunflower seeds
1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Whisk together the flours, baking soda, and salt in a bowl and set aside. Cream together the Earth Balance and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla, scraping down the sides of bowl as needed. Add the flour mixture to the sugar mixture and beat just until combined. Next stir in the oats, raisins, sunflower seeds and coconut just until combined. Drop level 1/4-cup measures of dough onto baking sheets (I use my ice cream scoop) about 1 1/2 inches apart. Bake until they are golden brown and soft to the touch about 18 rotating the cookie sheets halfway through. Cool 5 minutes on the cookie sheets and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
I posted the link on facebook! Great giveaway!
My favorite recipe is a hashbrown casserole that uses cornflakes as a topping.
Cheesy Hashbrown Potatoes!
1 (2 lbs.) pkg. frozen hash brown potatoes
1 stick butter
1/2 c. onion
8 oz. shredded Cheddar cheese
1 pt. sour cream
1 can cream of chicken soup
Salt, garlic and pepper to taste
1 1/2 c. cornflakes, crushed
Melt butter (save 1/2 for crushed cornflakes). Mix hash browns, 1/2 cup melted butter; onion, cheese, sour cream, and 1 can cream of chicken soup, salt, garlic and pepper.
Put in 9 x 12 pan. Mix cornflakes with the rest of butter. Sprinkle over potatoes. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 1/4 hours in uncovered pan. Maybe frozen. But, when baking frozen, add more time and but directly in oven from freezer.

Hey! I just found your blog and this has to be the greatest timing ever. I’m a shameless cereal addict. Seriously, I live by myself and have at least 3 boxes of cereal and several hot cereals to choose from at any given time and go through at least 2/3 boxes a week…yes, by myself. So, the ones I’d like to try are-
Uncle sam with red berries- I used to be obsesses with special k red berries until I learned more about nutrition and started choosing healthier cereals.
erewhorn’s barley plus- love barely!
Fruitio’s to make me feel like a kid again 🙂
brown rice crisps for rice crispie treats or bars
And finally, the apple cinnamon oatios look really good!
If I remember a good recipe I’ll post again. Thanks for hosting such an amazing giveaway!

I’d choose:

Aztec Crunchy Corn & Amaranth
Cocoa Crispy Brown Rice

I would get the Uncle Sam Instant Oatmeal, Uncle Sam Cereal with Mixed Berries, Apple Cinnamon Oatios, Original Oatios, Cocoa Crispy Rice, and Fuit-e-os. I would probably double up on the instant oatmeal since it’s getting cold and it provides a good start to the morning.
