Here's how I solve the sugar vs. non cereal problem at my house. I mix them. I have Tupperware pourable containers. Here are my mixes:

Cheerios and Honey Nut Cheerios
Cheerios and Banana Cheerios
puffed wheat and Super Sugar Crisp
Cheerios and Lucky Charms
bite size Shredded Wheat and frosted wheats

You get the idea! The ratio is up to me (I am usually the 2:1 non to sugar).

Um, I just put Kashi Go Lean! on my grocery list because of the comments. LOL

First of all how do you battle a picky eater. I thought I had won that battle, but it turns out K has developed new taste buds and has become picker. A has been a picky eater since we started her on solids. I just don’t know what to do now. We will have to have a nice long talk about it some time.

Take it easy on Kashi! It is the best cereal ever. Ellie is reading this over my shoulder, and she just said that it gives you floofies all day.

At Costco I like to go to the big screen TV section and then to the tools. I like the Costco mini brownies, too.

Amen to banning Kashi Go Lean – too many embarassing moments after eating that cereal.

You are too funny with the “banana cream pie” for breakfast bit. My kids would never fall for that. They’ve seen too many commercials while watching the same old episodes of Tom & Jerry, over and over again. I must say though that I have had to ban Kashi Go Lean! from my house. It’s like Super Colon Blow masquerading as a breakfast cereal. There should really be a warning label on the box. Tears us up.

I have to admit every time they eat it…I eat it.

Whole milk definitely makes it more like dessert. I love it when we run out of skim and I have to steal some from the kids for my cereal. I love the idea of having sugar cereal as an after school snack. I’m craving Fruit Loops just thinking about it.
