Today is a special day. Why? Well, because it’s Saturday for one, and because I’m currently sitting here enjoying a bowl of one of my all time favorite cereals for another…
… or I guess I should say a bowl of a healthier dupe of one of my all time favorite cereals…
I came across this box of Cinnamon [not-Toast] Crunch by Cascadian Farm on one of the [mandatory] trips that I took to Whole Foods while I was down in Hawaii, and I seriously couldn’t wait to dig my spoon into it. I would have tried it while I was on vacation, but I decided that flying an open box of cereal across the Pacific probably wouldn’t have been the greatest idea I’ve ever had. In any case, it was totally worth the wait. I also managed to snag a box of Nature’s Path toaster pastries while I was over there, but have yet to try them…
It never ceases to amaze me how many products you guys have down there in the States that we don’t get up here in Canada, and I have to say that there’s nothing more frustrating than seeing something delicious on your computer screen and not being able to get your hands on it. Sad face.
That being said, I hope you guys won’t be too upset with me for showing you these…
And these…
Before my trip to Hawaii, I remember hearing the occasional whisper surrounding these fabled treats, but I had never actually come across them in stores… whiiiiich might explain why I kind of, maybe, might have packed my suitcase to the brim with them. Okay, so that might be a slight exaggeration, but I did throw in a couple of extra bags for you guys. That’s right! It’s time for a small giveaway! Why? For no other reason than to say thank you for continuing to read Spoons 😀

Favourite vacation??
A trip I took in high school to study sustainable development in Costa Rica !!
It wasn’t a total vacation I guess, but we lived in an amazing community on an ecological reserve, milked goats, worked in the banana plantation, climbed mountains, visited the coast… Twas a dream!
Your pictures of Manoa Falls actually really reminded me of it at times 🙂
I just realized you could do separate entries, so I’m going to add one saying that I already like you on FB! Sorry, I don’t enter giveaways because yours is the only food/recovery blog I read anymore.

My favorite vacation was last year to Charleston, SC when my fiance and I got engaged!
I loved going to LA to model
I spent a week in Alaska a few years ago. It was amazing.

BTW, those pop tarty things look AMAZING!
I have already liked you Facebook page 😀
My favourite holiday was to Australia in 2003. We went to the Gold Coast and went to so many theme parks. It was amazing. Oh and did I mention shopping?! Strewth!
I also just liked Running With Spoons on Facebook.
If anything, I’d love the Hershey’s Kisses. Can’t get enough of chocolate-covered macadamia nuts. YUM, YUM!
My favorite vacation also happened in Hawaii on Oahuin 2004. That was the last time I felt truly relaxed, sitting in an open-air cafe right off the beach and sipping on some Kona coffee. Plus, I got to visit the resort where my parents honeymooned, which was very neat.
and 3. Of course I already follow you on twitter/instagram! 😀
2. Done and done!
SQUEEEEEE!!!!!! treats!!! Okay so the toaster pastries and cereal….to die for. glad you got your hands on them!
Favorite vacation: Summer of 2008, my dad took a business trip to Paris. He travels for work a ton and actually goes to Paris about 2-3 times a year…..but this year he went in July and asked if I wanted to come with him! Um, not even a question. So we stayed right across from the Touilleries Gardens in a very quaint french hotel for ten days – I went running along the Seine every morning, ate crossoints with nutella as my post-run snack, and then spent all day wandering the city by myself while my Dad was in meetings – I went shopping and to the Louvre, walked all the way to the Eiffel Tower, went to Sacre Cour (my FAVORITE place – you can go up to the roof and in the towers, it’s SICK!), Notre Dame etc – and my dad had two free days, on the first we went to the Loire Valley and then to Versailles. Oh and the food was epic of course. I kind of felt like I got to know Paris since I was there by myself just wandering – it’s one of my favorite cities. Oh and we went on Bastille Day and saw the parade and fireworks (and felt like awkward Americans hahaha)
OMG Macadamia nut kisses! <3 I think one of my favorite vacations was a trip to orlando in highschool, when a dozen of my close friends and I all went to Orlando/Disney/Universal Studios. So fun. 🙂
Oh yeah, I also like you on facebook. 🙂
Sweet giveaway! Favorite vacation–Going on a cruise for 7 days in the Caribbean. I had never seen clear ocean water before. It was beautiful!
And I just found you on FB! Wahoo!
Oh yes, coconut goodness all over the place! I just got back from a pretty amazing family vacay! I don’t want to enter back into the real world yet, Grand Cayman was a blast 🙂
I already follow you on Twitter, of course! My handle is @molly_chase.
My favorite vacation was spending a week exploring Nasvhille, TN; it was such a fun city with a great music scene. I went with my family and we didn’t go with too many set plans, so we really spent time relaxing and enjoying everything the South had to offer. I have very fond memories of that trip!
Hey, WHEN did Spoons get a Facebook?! Well, I totally liked ya…but don’t enter me in the giveaway…I’m not really a fan of macadamia nuts or M&Ms…I know, party poooooooooper! 😉
That cereal is one of my favorites! I polished off a box a few weeks ago and told myself I wasn’t going to get it again for a while, but I just HAPPENED to stumble across it at the store the other day on sale 2/$5…now c’mon, how was I supposed to pass THAT up? I just got one…along with CF’s Hearty Morning cereal (it’s actually REALLY good…kinda like Kashi Go Lean, but with flakes too!)
My favorite family vacation was a week in the Canadian Rockies when I was 9… beautiful views and great hiking!
