My husband laughs at me because I LOVE the less sweet cereals--wheat or bran 
Chex, grape nuts..anything nutty and crunchy. I like others too (I am much 
more carbivore than carnivore) but my favorites tend to be much less sweet.
Breakfast is almost always cereal (on an oatmeal kick right now), unless I 
get an urge to have breakfast for dinner. Then, it's pancakes or French 
toast (with jam, honey, or powdered sugar rather than syrup) with lots of 
spicy sausage, toast, eggs, and maybe some hash brown potatoes. And make 
that wheat toast, please!
