I am a person who loves cereal and I've
been a fan for most of my life. I remember fondly sitting in front of Saturday
morning cartoons when I was a child, with a bowl of cereal of some kind being
my companion. Back then I enjoyed a few varieties but didn't veer far off of my
faves. As I've grown up, I've continued
to eat some that I used to like when I can find them, but I've also developed a
taste for a wider variety of cereals.
On a recent trip to the supermarket, as I
was walking along the cereal aisle something different caught my eye. I was
looking to try something new and I found it. That discovery was Dorset Cereals.
They've been around for a while, but I had never tried their product. I was
excited! My first purchase was the Simply Delicious Muesli and from
the first spoonful I loved it. It's a blend of rolled and toasted flakes with
dried fruit, brazil nuts, roasted hazelnuts and sunflower seeds. It was just
what I was looking for. Once I finished my original box I purchased another.
Now I have a new cereal to add to my faves list!

Recently, the good people at Dorset Cereals
sent a few more varieties for me to try and I must say, I like them all. Here
are the ones that I received:

The Simply Nut Granola has gently baked
oats with almonds, hazelnuts, cashews, and a hint of golden syrup. I loved the
well-rounded taste with the various nuts, especially the cashews and that bit
of sweetness from the syrup just pulls it all together beautifully.

The Simply Oat Granola is a delicious mix
of oats & sunflower seeds, that is gently baked for a wonderful taste to
come through. It's substantial, but not heavy in any way, so you feel as if
you've had breakfast but you don't feel overly stuffed. It's a really
satisfying start to the day. Through all of this I've realized that I really
like granola!

The Tasty Toasted Raspberry & Apple Muesli is scrumptious. This is a new variety and I like it a lot. It's a blend
of toasted flakes, lightly mixed with dried apple, raspberries and sweetened
dried cranberries. I love the fruit mixture as it wonderfully compliments the
flakes for a fresh-tasting morning treat.
So my love for cereals continues to grow. It's gone from eating various kiddie cereals when I was a kid to discovering the wonderfully textured tastes of mueslis and granolas. My love for cereal covers lots of ground now and there are tastes for my every mood. On the days when I feel nostalgic, I'll go to my faves from childhood and other days when I'm wanting something more, I'll go for muesli or granola. A variety of choices...what's not to love!
