I’m been a fan of cereal since I was a kid.
True stories: I have fond memories of my sister and I, spilling Raisin Bran on the counter and then picking out the raisins.
I also remember that I would often invite my high school friend over after school to have a bowl of Life cereal and then watch Days of Our Lives.
I also have a strong memory of Weetabix. It was one of those pure cereals that would absorb the milk just perfectly.
At a recent Weetabix Lunch and Learn, I found out that Weetabix has a manufacturing plant in Cobourg, Ontario where it produces Weetabix and Alpen.
Here’s some cool facts:
Alpen has a cereal with NO SUGAR ADDED. Something tells me that this would appeal to a lot of people.
Weetabix has only 2 grams of sugar per serving and contains 4 simple ingredients. How awesome is that?
If you are looking to increase your daily fibre intake, then these two cereals should be in your cupboard!!
Here’s a recipe that was served at the event that I thought I would share:
Weetabix Adult Mac and Cheese (recipe credit: Jeremy Parsons, 360 Gourmet)

2 1/2 cups of Macaroni
3 cups 18% Cream
1 cup of shredded Gruyere

CRUST
2 Weetabix
3 tbsp garlic butter
DIRECTIONS
1. In a non stick sauce pan, add cream and shredded cheese stirring constantly until well combined.
2. Add salt and pepper to taste and keep well heated and reduce so the sauce will stay on a spatula
3. Cook pasta.
4. Combine the pasta and the cream sauce.
5. Spoon into greased ramekins
6. Melt butter and shred Weetabix into the melted butter
7. Sprinkle the “crust” over each ramekin.
