These are delicious in chocolate chip cookies. I still prefer the semi-sweet to be honest, but I am now outnumbered in my house by my milk-chocolate loving children. Sometimes I like to mix these with semi-sweet and white chocolate chips for an impressive looking cookie. If you're really in the mood for a candy fix, some toffee bits set them off nicely as well. -

I love these little packs. They remind me of when I was a kid and we'd pack these little boxes for our breakfast on road trips and train trips.
I like to keep them in stock for when people are visiting during the holidays. It's hard to know what people will want to eat, especially if there are kids, so it is a great way to keep a variety on hand without having to go out and buy a bunch of big boxes.

I have loved this stuff since the first time I stared in disbelief as I was handed a rich chocolaty shake for my breakfast. It is great just mixed with milk, but there are recipes on the packages which are also great. One of my favourites is to toss the chocolate flavour in a blender with some bananas, strawberries, milk and ice.
Quite a few years back I was losing weight for reasons that couldn't be explained. My doctor advised me to drink one of these every day in addition to my regular meals for extra calories and vitamins. It was a delicious solution :)

This is a delicious hot cereal that isn't very expensive. It is so versatile, that you're sure to be able to find a variation to please everyone. We make it with blueberries and cream, with strawberry jam, and with cinnamon and sugar, just to name a few ways. Just today someone showed me how to sprinkle cinnamon and sugar just on the top layer to let a yummy crust form on top while it sits. If your kids don't like the "pudding skin" type top that tends to form, just be sure to stir it frequently while it cools.
I remember loving this as a kid, and my parents didn't add anything to it at all. Now, my kids ask for it all time.

Honey Nut Cheerios
This is a delicious cereal that stays fresh and is always available at a great price. My kids love Honey Nut Cheerios, and there are never any complaints when they show up at the breakfast table.

We love this cereal at our house. This was pretty much the first solid food my daughter would eat. We cut the pieces in half (and you can imagine how long that would take) because she loved it so much. It's what we used to wean her onto solid food after months and months of her spitting out everything we put in front of her.
It's a cinnamon sweet version of classic Corn Pops, but not too sweet for breakfast.

We keep these in stock all the time. They are great for turning leftovers into delicious soup. When my kids are sick, sometimes all they want is a plain broth, and this is a great go-to. They keep easily in the cupboard, so it's easy to always keep them in. Great taste, not too salty, but full of flavour. -

I use Becel in place of butter whenever I make cookies. I find people prefer them with the soft margarine as you get a cookie that is a little more chewy rather than crispy. It also works great in cinnamon rolls, breads, and just about every other baking good you can think of. Sometimes you need to add a little extra flour to get the right texture, but it's usually a pretty easy substitution. The buttery taste is a bonus that makes things taste even better than when I used to use the regular Becel. -

We've been using this swing for three years now, and aside from a little fading, it still looks brand new. This swing sits outside all year round. I expected to see some wear and tear in the straps, but they are still in great shape. My three-year-old uses it frequently, and my five-year-old still climbs in occasionally, and she can do and undo all of the fasteners herself at this point. I loved having a safe swing to put my new baby in so she could take part in the swingset fun. -

I loved this little chair. When my little girl first came home from the hospital, it was the only thing she would sleep in. It has the option of being made static, or using it as a rocker. The baby can lay down in it at its lowest level and be belted in for safety. (Please Note: The baby was never left unattended sleeping in the chair, as this isn't what the product is for.)
As my little girl grew, we moved this up to the higher level and she used it as a chair. While travelling for several months, she ate in this chair since it was so portable and bringing a highchair along wasn't feasible. We could also turn it into a rocking chair for her to sit in. We used it indoors and outdoors, and took it with us everywhere.
She really enjoyed the toys on the toy bar as well, and I loved that it could be removed. The chair also has a vibrate button which seemed to sooth her when she was little, but didn't get used much once she was older. It is pretty good on batteries too. We used this constantly for about two years, and I don't ever recall having to change the batteries.
When my second daughter came along, we passed the chair along to her. I really regret not buying a second one, as my first daughter missed her chair and could have continued to use this as a rocker. Once my second daughter got a little older, they frequently fought over who got to use it. So, I would say if you have a child three or under, and you're expecting another little one, you might want to buy a second chair.
This chair has held up to all kinds of abuse, and the only wear I've seen is a little fraying of the fabric on the edges - something that is easily fixed.
