It happens to the best of us.
Sometimes, it’s just time to sit back and have a big bowl of cereal for dinner.
When preparing meals, I usually have a vague idea of what my body is craving before I even step foot in the kitchen. Tonight’s mindset was far away from a big bowl of roasted veggies or a fillet of savory salmon. All that I could think about was a big & fruity bowl of cereal.
I have to eat like a real college student sometimes, right?
Into the Mix: 1 1/2 cup Erewhon Crispy Brown Rice Cereal, Chobani Greek yogurt, a diced gala apple, almond milk, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Hit. The. Spot.
Remember the good news I had yesterday about finally starting the novel Night for class? Well, I take that good news back because I apparently spent a good portion of my evening reading the wrong novel. Whoops 8)
I misread the schedule and was supposed to be reading another book called On Liberty– Night wasn’t meant to be started for another two weeks or so.
Now that’s what I call being a thorough student 
I’m off to tackle my new book, so I’ll leave you with this photo of Will & I awkwardly playing croquet the week before we started “talking”
…We can only guess what he’s looking at…
Have a good night!
A bit to think about: Have you ever had cereal for dinner?

I’m having one of those nights where nothing savory really appeals to me. No idea what I’ll end up having for dinner, but a bowl of cereal is sounding mighty tempting… I used to be able to eat cereal for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and while it’s been a while since I’ve done that, I see nothing wrong with going the breakfast for dinner route. Oooo, on that note, pancakes sound mighty tempting too….

I’ve totally had cereal for dinner…sometimes, it’s the only thing that sounds good! That’s so unfortunate about the book mishap! But, once you do have to read Night you’ll have time to do other things

That’s very true Lindsay! I knew I could count on you to be my positive conscious
I may have cereal for dinner tonight too. I just want something cold to eat and I have no ice cream or frozen yogurt.

Breakfast for dinner is always fun once in a while… especially when its pancakes

I have most definitely had cereal for dinner before. Or oatmeal. Or peanut butter and jelly. Sometimes it just sounds good, and sometimes it’s EASY!

I often crave cereal for dinner! Sometimes nothings hits the spot better than ice cold cereal or piping hot oatmeal at night
I love that you mixed yogurt and milk in your cereal. I do that all the time and it’s FANTASTIC!
Thank you for posting that pic. I just burst out laughing on my conference call and realized I wasn’t on mute!!! errr….

Haha! I’m glad you enjoyed it as much as I did
I knew it! All those veggies today made you want carbs. Cereal is pretty much the most awesome dinner ever. I really miss Frosted Flakes. A big heaping bowl of no-nutritional value Frosted Flakes. Yum.

Look at you, Paula! Predicting my classy cereal dinner
I was more of a Reeses Puffs girl myself– those babies are like CANDY!
Hi!
I just started reading your blog a short while ago. I’m wondering…is it unusual that your started school early or is this common in the states? i’m only wondering because today was my first day back for the semester and hearing you talk about homework makes me a little sad lol
Hey Ali!
Usually colleges in the the states (or at least in Florida) start in August. We’ve only been in session for about 3 weeks, so you’re not too far behind!
I have cereal for dinner once in a while, too! I loooove cereal!! In fact, I didn’t have dinner planned tonight for the hubs and I, so I was going to resort to cereal but instead decided on grilled turkey, avocado and cheese sammies
yum!
I love having cereal for dinner! Tonight I had a bowl of oats and nut butter and it totally hit the spot! Apparently my salt tooth is kicking in though, because I’m currently munching on kettle corn. haha.

Yum! I haven’t had cereal for dinner for a while! I think breakfast foods should definitely be allowed for all meals.

Haha I’m glad I’m not alone!
Wait…you mean to suggest that cereal *isnt* a standard dinner? If it’s okay for breakfast, it’s okay for supper in my book!

Haha I’m so glad we’re in the same boat! Eating like a ‘real’ college student every once in a while is totally necessary!!

Cereal for dinner is the best! If my hubby was okay with it, I would “make” cereal for dinner everyday.

Oh how I wish I could get away with cereal for dinner! that actually looks really good. I’ve been doing the Erewhon cereals (in the a.m.) with banana and cinnamon.

Cereal for dinner is totally legitimate!! Also for lunch. And breakfast. And the occasional late night movie snack
Croquet always reminds me of Alice in Wonderland. I’d love to try it, wouldn’t have a clue how to play though!

My boyfriend loves any excuse for breakfast for dinner. Whenever I don’t have a dinner planned, that’s his go to!

Cereal is good at any time of the day. I really love cereal…the combination of flavors and textures make it so satisfying. I try to stay away from it though because I have trouble eating just one bowl!

I have cereal for dinner at least once or twice a month. Sometimes that’s just all I am craving. Other times I only have 2 minutes to eat and cereal is darn quick and easy.
PS. That pic is hilarious.

Cereal is acceptable for every meal! The Husband refuses to eat pancakes or eggs for any meal but breakfast but doesn’t bat an eye at Cheerios for dinner…silly man!

Sometimes breakfast for dinner just woulds like the most appealing thing!! Bummer about reading the wrong book! But at least you will be ahead of the curve when it comes time to read Night!! And that picture of you and Will is fantastic!
Cereal for dinner is actually one of my favorite low-stress meals. Sooo good, quick, and easy to make! And I am CRACKING UP at that photo of you and Will. You guys are so adorable together!
