Wasting Food.

I was raised pretty poor and I was the youngest of five so I have a major problem with wasting food.  Additionally, I don't like having something just sitting on a shelf and not being used.  Even in bars I hated having something not moving, the more expensive bottles I understand don't move quickly but the cheaper bottles need to move before someone knocks the bottle over and it's broken.

In my pantry are nine (yes, NINE.  I counted them twice) DIFFERENT types of cereal.  There are five people that live in this house and I don't like cereal.  The other four have two different types each.  Some of the cereal no one likes, we have them because my wife let the kids pick out their choices and of course they picked out the most colorful box at their eye level.  She'll probably say I did it but she's lying.  So now I have a few boxes of cereal that no one wants to eat.

I hate wasting food.  What can I do with them?  There's a local donut shop that makes some interesting donuts (and my personal favorite, the brisket kolaches).  Some of these donuts have kids cereal or candy bars sprinkled on them.  I used that for my inspiration.

I made a basic bread (boring) and put crushed Cinnamon Apple Jacks (kids don't like it) and chocolate chips in it.  Since it was Cinnamon Apple Jacks I also made a cinnamon butter to go with it.  Next time I'm going to increase the cereal amount and reduce the chocolate, really get rid of that cereal.

It's sweeter than a regular bread but I think that next time I'll not crush the Apple Jacks so you get a big piece of them.  Considering that I have about a quarter of a box to experiment with I might as well.
