Cereal Parties

Every time our small group gets together, we pitch in for a meal. A few weeks ago, we joked that if we didn’t have time to put together a menu, we would just eat cereal.

            Then we decided that sounded like a great idea, so we made it happen for real. Everyone brought a favorite cereal, and we had breakfast casserole, yogurt parfaits, and energy bars in the mix too.

            I don’t even remember the last time we bought cereal, so we had so much fun picking out favorites from our childhood to share with our friends.

            It was such a fun night. We mixed and matched cereals, told stories, and drank coffee together. And I decided right on the spot that cereal parties are worth it. (Yes, I know cereals have too much sugar and no nutritional value. But one meal won’t ruin life!)

            Oh – and I forgot to mention we all came pajama-casual, which made it extra wonderful.

            I looked on Pinterest to see if I could find more ideas for a fun party like this, and I did find a few ideas!

            This post has a recipe for a cereal bowl cupcake that is pretty cute! There’s also a free game printable that could be fun for kiddos.

            This post has some cereal recipe-mix ideas and very cute label printables. It also suggests using white, chocolate, and strawberry milk to switch it up even more. Confession: I’ve never used anything but plain milk on my cereal. I feel like I might be missing out because I haven’t tried chocolate.

            And If store-bought cereal isn’t your thing, this post has ideas for a hot-cereal version.

            So if you need an idea for a party – whether you have time to plan or need a last-minute inspiration – we highly recommend cereal!
