I remember going to the local carnival as a child. From music and entertainment to food and fellowship, I couldn’t wait until summer rolled around. This week I’m attending a different kind of carnival. Every quarter Bloggy Giveaways hosts a carnival where hundreds of participants hold giveaways all across the blogosphere. You definitely want to head over as soon as possible to check it out. I’ve met some wonderful bloggers this way. Come back here later this week as I have some very cool things to give away including something to keep your home safe while you’re away.

Cocoa Puffs is changing it up by adding a new twist to everyone’s favorite chocolate cereal. Introducing Cocoa Puffs Combos cereal, which combines great-tasting chocolatey puffs with vanilla puffs. Cocoa Puffs Combos is made with whole grains and is a good source of Calcium and Vitamin D.

Win It! Want to be one of the first to try it out? Four readers will receive a coupon for one full-sized box of Cocoa Puffs Combos. Leave a comment below telling me your child’s favorite culinary treat. I need some ideas for my son! Comments will close on August 3, 2008 at 10 pm PST and I will announce the winner here the following day. One comment per person, please. US residents only. Duplicates and comments not including the above information will be disqualified. Comments are moderated. If you don’t see your comment in a reasonable amount of time, send me an email. Bloggers and non-bloggers may enter. If you don’t want to leave your email address, please be sure to check back for my announcement on the winner. Please note that winners must respond within 48 hours of being announced/contacted or another winner will be drawn.

P.S. You may want to consider coming back VERY soon. I have several fun giveaways lined up you don’t want to miss out on, including some BlogHer swag!

Great giveaway! I hope I’m the lucky winner
Jamie from fort lauderdale on July 29th, 2008 12:24 am

My children all eat a different breakfast except when my husband make pancakes. Which is a family favorite.
My 4 year old will love this new cereal and if I win…I’ll love the price!
Beth on July 29th, 2008 4:56 am

Don’t know if I would call it “culinary treat” but my son loves frozen chicken nuggets…. Thanks for the chance!

My son loves chicken fingers dipped in honey.

Thanks for the nice giveaway. cdziuba@aol.com

My kids love when I make snack mix. I take all the odd and end crackers, chips, etc and place them in a plastic container. I add a little garlic powder and shake it up. It’s cheapier than store bought and a great way to use up leftover snacks.

I also make breakfast bars. Follow the Rice Krispie treat recipe but substitute any odd bits of cereal for the rice krispies.
Beth on July 29th, 2008 1:13 pm

My son loves animal crackers! Great giveaway idea, thanks for the chance to enter!
Angela Palmer on July 29th, 2008 4:15 pm

My kids are on a smoothie binge right now. Strawberries and banana are their fave.
Patti on July 29th, 2008 5:51 pm

My kids love edamame with kosher salt on it. Kind of boring, but they love making the soy beans pop out and then eating them!
Michelle on July 29th, 2008 5:58 pm

I think both of my kids would say pizza is their favourite culinary treat.
Betsy on July 29th, 2008 6:38 pm

Ice Cream!
Annabelle@Christian Momma on July 29th, 2008 6:53 pm

My children love hotdogs wrapped in crescent rolls! Oh and another good treat is those little smoked sausages wrapped in crescent rolls (you would make 3 triangles out of 1 triangle for and use 1 of the small triangle for each little smoked sausage)
Go Amie on July 29th, 2008 7:29 pm

Put unexpected fruits in breakfast cereals. Grapes, kiwis, apricot bits, etc. Kids aren’t used to the combination, so it tastes new, but it is still familiar enough (fruit + cereal) that they don’t reject it. Thanks!
Kristine on July 29th, 2008 7:29 pm

I’m spending time entering giveaways! Thanks for this one.
Cheryl W on July 29th, 2008 8:17 pm

My daughter is picky. But she loves salad, so I try to make different ones for her. I will sneak fruit in the salad and she will eat it, but won’t eat the fruit by itself. Good luck!

My kids love my homemade popsicles. My husband and I like to joke around that the dessert is actually the healthiest part of the meal at our house. They also really like edamame, soy beans in the pod, because they’re fun to eat. And very healthy.
Amber S. on July 30th, 2008 12:12 am

My kids love any kind of pasta dish. Lasagna and Homemade Mac n Cheese are their favorites. Snack wise, they love baby carrots (or carrot sticks) dipped in low fat Ranch dressing.
Thanks for the giveaway!

Qtpies7 on July 30th, 2008 12:12 am

Cheesecake. Or ice cream. Or chips. Maybe candy. If it isn’t healthy, they like it!
sara l. on July 30th, 2008 1:09 am

My little man LOVES noodles! Just about any way you make them…He’s really diggin’ homemade mac and cheese lately! Thanks for the chance to win some yummy cereal….We’re CUCKOO for Cocoa Puffs!LOL!
Debra Ford on July 30th, 2008 1:55 am

My son’s latest favorite - instead of using bread crumbs for chicken cutlets, I crushed up Doritos. He just about flipped and asks for it all the time. Even with the chips, it’s got to be healthier than processed frozen chicken nuggets.

Thanks for the giveaway
Bailey's Leaf on July 30th, 2008 2:24 am

My daughter likes to make herself peanut butter roll up sandwiches on tortillas. Clean up isn’t too bad (she’s 4 and fairly proficient with a butter knife and PB). She loves those with a side of short cut carrots (straight up. I offer no dip, since she’ll eat without!)

Good luck and thank you!
diane d on July 30th, 2008 2:31 am

Both my boys love taco night. They love to make up their own. Thanks for such a great giveaway!
John on July 30th, 2008 3:03 am

Rockin’ Mama, thanks for commenting for my giveaway!

My son loves when my wife makes mac ‘n cheese with baby food carrots mixed in. You can barely taste the difference.
kristen on July 30th, 2008 4:21 am

my kids heart homemade pizza night!

My daughter likes those dippin dots ice creams so much! Thanks for the chance.
Suzie G on July 30th, 2008 5:09 am

My daughter’s favorite treat is Oreos and Milk. Not very original, but she loves them for dessert.
GrnMtnGirl on July 30th, 2008 7:54 am

Brownies!!!!

But the cereal would be great too.
Heidi on July 30th, 2008 8:13 am

My kiddos love snacking on cerlery sticks with peanut butter! Thanks for the great giveaway!
judy brittle on July 30th, 2008 10:36 am

Ice cream anytime anywhere. Doesn’t even matter what flavor.
Dawn on July 30th, 2008 11:11 am

Without a doubt, my oldest’s favorite is mac & cheese. I try to perk it up some by adding veggies into it, though he doesn’t care much for it (he’s 11 though - so he knows he needs to eat it!)

My daughter loves anything that’s been coated in sugar.

My youngest - he LOVES carrots & pasta. So I make some finger-food kind of pasta for him, and then add in a can of veg-all

I hope you’ll also stop by my blog - I’ve got several giveaways for you to enter, too!

Kimberly V. on July 30th, 2008 3:35 pm

My kids are boring (LOL). They love macaroni and cheese or grilled cheese. Although they do eat spinach, lentils, broccoli and their favorite - get this - CHICK PEAS!!! Go figure.

Thank you for a yummy giveaway.
Ginny on July 30th, 2008 6:50 pm

My youngest eats a lot of macaroni & cheese, chicken nuggets and pizza rolls
Terra Heck on July 30th, 2008 7:16 pm

I’d like to try this cereal. My kids love chocolate chip muffins. Can’t make enough of them around here.
Tori on July 30th, 2008 10:13 pm

Peanut butter on waffles!
amy delong on July 30th, 2008 11:44 pm

One of my boys is crazy about fruit, any way, any how. He’s thrilled when I bring home a kiwi from the grocery store. Raspberries are a big hit, too. My other son is crazy for chocolate zucchni bread, and if there’s none of that, then anything chocolate I’ll let him eat
Audrey Okaneko on July 31st, 2008 2:02 am

My kids are grown but my daughter babysits a boy who will only eat dinosaur chicken nuggets. He will not eat any other kind LOL
Ma Val on July 31st, 2008 2:16 am

Lately we’ve been eating a lot of Rice Chex for B-fast. For morning snack my two kids like peanut butter & jelly on toast. Simple and they think it’s great! Thanks.

My girl is currently obsessed with ham sandwiches. It’s honestly the weirdest thing. She gets up, has some waffles, decides she’s still hungry and makes a ham sandwich. Then she wants one for dinner later. I don’t get it!

She would love to try this cereal though. I always pick Cheerios for her and she’s wanting to test out something much more kid friendly.

Thanks for the yummy giveaway!
danandmarsh on July 31st, 2008 2:58 am

My kids always loved grilled cheese, well we always called it toasted cheese!
ryann on July 31st, 2008 3:27 am

We’d love to try it out in our home! My daughters fav snack is peanut butter on break with bannannas on it. I roll it up and slice it for her and she goes nuts for it!

My girls pretty much just like plain stuff, still - they’re 1. The only seasoning they like is cinnamon - in pancakes, waffles, etc.
Zombie Money on July 31st, 2008 5:53 am

Ice cream and brownies!
Jennifer M on July 31st, 2008 7:41 am

My daughter’s still on formula at the moment, but I remember I loved pancakes when I was little, especially when they’d make them into shapes like mickey mouse or bunnies.
Katie on July 31st, 2008 1:54 pm

My kids like the all famous mac n cheese and chicken nuggets. Thanks
Tammy Darling on July 31st, 2008 2:01 pm

My son love to help make banana bread, especially squishing the bananas. Then he can barely wait for it to cool so he can chow on it! Thanks for the contest.
Karen on July 31st, 2008 2:14 pm

My husband is Italian, so we make our Spaghetti Sauce (called gravy) from scratch and they kids LOVE it!
Tisha on July 31st, 2008 2:49 pm

tangie on July 31st, 2008 3:02 pm

my boys would love to try the new cereal.
Paige on July 31st, 2008 3:35 pm

Wonderful. My kids are complaining over the lack of cereal right now. I only buy them when they are ON SALE. So free would be good.
Nancy on July 31st, 2008 5:53 pm

My son already loves the regular Cocoa Puffs. His other favorites are Reese’s Puffs cereal and Dove chocolates. Did I mention I’m a bad mommy? Everything I mentioned is chocolatey!
kristen on July 31st, 2008 6:28 pm

These sound great! I would love to try them

Molly Capel on July 31st, 2008 9:07 pm

My kids like wrapped hotdogs. We split a hotdog, put in sliced cheese, then using refrig crescents, wrap each one & bake in the oven.
Josie on July 31st, 2008 9:43 pm

I don’t have any kids but my husband’s (he ACTS like a kid, does that count? lol) favorite treat is rocky road brownies that I make. I’d love to try the cereal!
KJ on July 31st, 2008 10:15 pm
