*Update*

This giveaway is now closed.  Thank you so much for stopping by and entering.  The winners are Kathleen McKee (#42), Jacqueline in Atlanta (#60), Audrey Okaneko (#39), and Tammy Darling (#52).  Congratulations!  Look for an email from me today!

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!

BTW…You still have an opportunity to enter to win a GameStop Gift Card and an Oh Snap T for your trendy tot!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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.
