Our next giveaway is sponsored by Erewhon; Erewhon makes a number of great hot and cold cereals most of which are organic, gluten free and/or vegan. I was sent the Crispy Brown Rice Original, Cocoa Crispy Brown Rice and Raisin Bran to try. The Crispy Brown Rice are just like the ones I had as as child but way better and made brown rice and there is almost no sugar in them. The Raisin bran was okay, not my favorite but I love how much dietary fiber and protein are in them. As for the Cocoa Crispy Brown Rice they were made into a wonderful holiday treat.

Erewhon’s Crispy Brown Rice with mixed berries sounds pretty darn good.
Favorite holiday treat – so hard, but I’d have to say my grandma’s homemade fruitcake. It’s marinated in brandy, what can I say?
I do follow you on Facebook!
My favorite holiday treat used to be church window “cookies” – aka. a refrigerated log of multicolored marshmallows coated in chocolate that you sliced like cookies so they looked like stained glass windows. MUST. VEGANIZE.
also I tweeted about this just now 🙂
Ooooh I want to try their cornflakes, haha! But seriously.
I follow you on twitter
