NEW Honey Kix Cereal Review & Prize Pack Giveaway!

You guys might laugh a little, but I didn't grow up on cereal. My breakfasts usually consisted of eggs, refried beans, chorizo, and tortillas. I am Hispanic and it's just what ya do! I like to think my Mom just loved us so much that she slaved over a hot stove every morning.
My husband introduced me to an array of cereal when we married and we haven't turned back. When my kids were old enough to eat table food that was the end of it! Cereal was and will be a "must" in my house. We have a few brands that we trust, but none like General Mills. Besides all the yummy cereals they produce, they also participate in Box Tops for Education program. If you've followed my blog for awhile, you might remember my description of myself as a BoxTop Nazi?
Well, my friends at General Mills sent over a cool prize pack of the new Honey Kix Cereal. Inside was cool stuff like a ceramic beehive honey jar, a cool container to keep our cereal fresh, and a travel cereal bowl.
I don't know about you guys, but I've loved Kix Cereal from the very first day I discovered it. My husband, on the other hand, has stated there is no flavor. With the arrival of the NEW Honey Kix, we got a whole new perspective on Kix cereal. It's sweet, but not too sweet. The airy, lightness of the cereal really gives it that cool "I'm not eating junky" kinda feel. You know what I mean?
My toddler couldn't get enough of it! The best part is, my 6-year-old asked if I could mix some in his trail mix for his school snack. I sure did! I'll let you in on three ways to eat it:
1.) Rudy's way- Eat it right out of the dixie cup, no need for milk.
2.) Zach's way- Mix it in his trail mix, pretzels, or raisins for snack.
3.) Abby's way- Put it in a good ole' fashioned bowl, pour on the cool milk, and drizzle just a little honey on top.
Ah, perfect!
Win It!
I've got THREE, yes THREE, "Sweet & Simple" prize packs to give away to some cool lucky readers, which will include the following:
- 1 coupon for a free box of Honey Kix cereal
- A honey jar
- 2 Honey Kix cereal bowls
- A milk and cereal travel container
- A cereal storage container (this is my favorite)
All you have to do to enter is tell me how you guys start your morning. Do you have a routine and what is usually the choice of breakfast food?

I make muffins at least once a week and my kids always get one to grab and eat in the car while the adults eat granola bars. Weekdays are always so hectic that we don't have time to sit down to breakfast...that's what weekends are for (smile)!!
If I get up in time I eat either cereal or oatmeal :)

Most mornings it's a just a rush to get out the door with a breakfast bar in hand. However, Sundays are the one day that I do cook us some kind of normal breakfast where we can sit down together.
I'm also a follower of your blog. :)

I'm pretty OCD about having everything laid out the night before. I wake up at least an hour and a half before the rest of the house, and I often cook breakfast for everyone (pancakes or eggs), then I do my school carpools. When my housework is done, I enjoy a cup of tea before heading out to work.

We always start our day off with breakfast. My kids usually eat cold cereal and my husband and I eat either hot cereal or eggs.
coffee, milk, eggs and bacon
Get up and immediately take shower, make coffee and eat leftovers from last nights dinner!
We have breakfast first thing in the morning.
Thanks!

A bowl of cereal typically starts our morning due to the rush for school.
I am a cerealaholic! It doesn't matter what kind it is I love it all. I love oatmeal too! My kids are grown, so I get up have some coffee on the days I don't work and then eat some oatmeal or cereal and get to work.
On weekends, I usually make eggbeaters or muffins for Hubby.

I usually start my day with just a cup of coffee. I have never really eaten breakfast except on Holidays. I love eating cereal as an afternoon snack. Thank you!
We don't have a breakfast routine, because we get bored with them too easily. We keep an array of cereals around, along with egg/sausage/cheese biscuits, breakfast burritos, migas, frozen waffles, fresh pancakes. croissants, and other stuff microwaveable and toaster-friendly.
We also keep lots of juices on hand.

We always have breakfast. I try to keep a variety of cereals, oatmeal, pancakes and waffles on hand so no one can say "there is nothing I like." I start my day off with coffee (to get me going) and when everyone is off to school and work, then I sit down and enjoy my breakfast. Thanks for the review and giveaway...I havent had Kix in a long time, but the Honey Kix soundslike something my family would enjoy.

I start my morning by getting my daughter breakfast- which is usually a piece of toast with jam on it. Then I check my computer and after that I eat my cereal and share with my daughter. I love Kix, Cinnamon Toast crunch, Rice Chex, and lots more. I grew up on cold cereal so it's a staple in my life!

My morning is spent getting my 3yo up, dressed, fed and off to preschool. We always manage a little snuggle time when I first get him up. then he has a cup of chocolate milk and a little bowl of cereal to crunch on. (he won't eat it with milk so he just eats it dry)

During the week we always eat cereal for breakfast. It's just the quickest and most convenient thing to eat. I try to get everything ready the night before. Make the coffee, set out the cups and spoon, put the cereal bowls and the cereals out on the table, etc. I try to have everything ready so in the morning we don't have much to do. We're always rushing around like chickens with their heads cut off trying to get everyone out the door.
Thanks for the great contest.

My routine is a bowl of cereal and two cups of coffee every morning.
I eat either fruit or eggs everyday, and always coffee.
Either cereal (often Cherrios) with milk, or two pieces of toast and milk. HAVE to have the milk or you don't want to be around me!

I try to get up earlier than the kids to get a head start. They have breakfast, do their "responsibilities" and then get ready for homeschooling.

We have cold cereal about 70% of the time, and bagels are their favorite. I've found the mini bagels at Wal-Mart in the refrigerated section are cheaper and then none are wasted. Pancakes or waffles are an every Sat. treat!
I start my morning with a shower, and a glass of water, then im out the door. I usually snack at my desk once I'm at work :)
I usually have egg white omelette with turkey, cheese, and spinach. My little guy loves same omelette but with whole egg but not always. Sometimes he just wants a handful of cereal with bear drink (pedisure). Of course, if we are in a rush, cereal and milk always win and we have a bag of cereal in the car at all times! Would love to try.

We like fruit and yogurt with cereal mixed in or cereal and a banana.
great set! we love kix :)
Our family always eats cereal for breakfast.
I start my morning the same way everyday. I get up and the first thing i do is make myself a cup of tea, i have to start my day with a cup of tea otherwise I'm just grumpy.
We don't really have a routine for breakfast, but my kids usually have pancakes, scrambled eggs, cereal, or oatmeal.
I get up in the morning, have coffee and a banana, and go work out at the YMCA for an hour.
I usually start my day with a cup of tea or coffee and a piece of fruit (i'm not much of a breakfast person) although I do love cereal for dinner! Thanks for entering me this sounds yummy!

We do eggs and bacon/sausage or toaster waffles usually. Once a week we do a big breakfast with pancakes, eggs and bacon/sausage or biscuit and sausage gravy. And always fruit juices.
Usually start the day with yogurt, cereal, or donut....but today went to McDonald's and had a cheese/ bacon bagel.
Usually it's orange juice, coffee and a low sugar granola bar.

I'm a stay-at-home mom that homeschools, so we don't have a set routine. It's whatever we all feel like having for breakfast.
Mornings are crazy in my house. I get the kids up by 7 in order to get my daughter to preschool. My son is homeschooled so 2 days a week they can sleep a little late. The kids get cereal or oatmeal in the morning and a piece of fruit. Then the chaos of running around begins!

Cereal & homemade muffins are our favorite breakfast
We don't really have a routine. Just usually pick up some cereal (usually two or three different kinds mixed together) and maybe some toast.
I give them a choice of cereals
a good strong cup of coffee for me thanks for the giveaway
Well, during the week, it's cereal (except hubby, he goes back and forth between cereal and slim fast). Hubby is actually sent to work with breakfast, so the travel bowls and milk holder is great. He works very long days, so he goes to work with both breakfast, morning snack (or he uses it for a late afternoon snack if he wants), and lunch, which always includes lots of fresh vegetables.
The rest of us during the week, eat cereal for breakfast.
Now, on the weekends, when there is more time, we have variety,
sometimes vegetable omelets, pancakes, waffles, sausage, bacon, yogurt, fruit, breakfast burrito's, hard boiled eggs, over-easy eggs, etc.. it just depends on what's on hand and what I feel like making or someones really wants me to make that day. We have variety on holidays too.
I usually do coffee and toast and whatever else is being served. I usually don't get much say in it!
I am usually the first one up and I eat my bowl of cereal. I enjoy a quiet peaceful breakfast before I begin the day's activities.
I have to start with a cup of tea con5459(at)gmail(dot)com
Usually cereal and milk. Sometimes it will be a slice of buttered sweet bread toast and a hunk of cheese.
I start my day with a cup of tea and a few minutes of quiet time. Then I wake my youngest son and fix his bagel and wake my older boy and watch him eat his turtle cereal bars.
rsgrandinetti@yahoo(dot)com
start off with a bowl of cereal - usually honey nut cheerios, and i sometimes have a cup of coffee if i need that extra wake-me-up. thanks for this great giveaway! yyeres(at)gmail(dot)com
Don't tell anybody, but I usually skip breakfast. I know, I know...most important meal o the day, yada, yada... But I don't like breakfast cereal. Well...I should say, cereal and milk. I am, at this very moment, (10:33 pm) snacking on a bowl of (dry) ceral. It's a mix of:
Kix!, Cheerios, Honey Nut Cheerios, Life, CocoaPuffs, Fruity Pebbles, and Honey Smacks.

My son only seems to choose from 3 options for breakfast, they are, toast with a tiny bit of butter, a pop tart ( or about half of one) or dry cereal that has to be eaten with a spoon! Ah, the life of a 4 year old! At least he eats his breakfast! I too love these Honey Kix, I'm a huge fan of Kix cereal! Thanks for the giveaway!
Almost always cereal, we like cheerios, miniwheats and cocokrispies.
Everyone gets their own breakfast at my house except 9 yr old daughter.
Our routine consists of cereal, there's no time for hot breakfast during the week. If we're really running short on time, it's a granola bar.
Part of our routine every morning also consists of finding one lost shoe. I swear almost every morning we have to go on a quest for someone's missing ground slapper.

wonderful prize for my growing boys
my husband and I are so rushed in the morning, we usually drive somewhere for a fast food breakfast!
strong coffee and cinnamon raisin toast
a brisk walk followed by a hot cup of coffee, a peanut butter slathered slice of toasted homemade bread and the morning newspaper
Quaker Healthy Harvest oatmeal
My son gets his own breakfast, and alternates between cereal, oatmeal or breakfast bars. My daughter eats cereal everyday, just switches up the type. Thanks!
My routing in the morning is trying to make it downstairs without tripping before I have my cup of coffee. My favorite breakfast food is cereal and milk!
Our mornings go smoothly because of my great husband who gets the kids up and in the shower and makes breakfast, while I pack their lunches and make sure everything is in their backpacks. We eat breakfast together - usually pancakes, waffles or scrambled eggs, but once a week they get cereal - and they walk to school.
Thanks for the giveaway~
Weekdays are a little busier, so usually just a bowl of cereal and some fruit. weekends I like to do it a little better.

We start the morning a rushed snarling mess. I'm not a morning person and neither is my son. We hate the sound of the alarm in the morning. So we're both dragging up at the last minute and he's in a rush to get ready for school and I'm in a rush to get breakfast (usually cereal since its fast).
