I seriously LOVE doing giveaways for GREAT products! Why? Because when I find a fantastic product I really want to share it with you all. I am grateful for companies that allow me to try their products and tell you all about them AND even giveaway products to a lucky reader! OK..Enough of that! I am sure you are wondering what this next giveaway is...

What is it?

I was lucky enough to get 4 cups of Seneca Farms Oatmeal and Fruit to try. I got a 2 pack of Apple Cinnamon and a 2 pack of Vanilla Peach. Let me tell you a few facts about the product (from them):

Just launched in April, it is the perfect choice for anyone who has trouble finding time for breakfast in the morning. In less time than it takes to make a cup of coffee, heat the six-ounce microwaveable cup –no milk or water necessary – in the microwave for 45 seconds. Seneca's Oatmeal & Fruit has no trans fats or cholesterol, and is a great source of Vitamin C. 

Seneca Farms Oatmeal & Fruit is not only a quick and healthy breakfast option, but it is a satisfying mid-afternoon snack and it even works as part of a healthy weight loss plan for those looking to lose or maintain weight loss.

What did (the kids and) I think?

Well, I have to admit something terrible...I am a breakfast skipper. It's true. I do not eat breakfast usually, mostly because I am not a morning person and I have no desire to prepare and eat a meal when I first wake up. What that means though is that these 5 precious children I am mother to are lucky to get a bowl of cereal or a breakfast bar on the way out the door...it is a sad truth of my house.

Another sad fact of my house is that my kids WILL NOT eat hot cereals like cream of wheat or OATMEAL...this was a sad realization for me as growing up, our quick easy breakfast was those oatmeal packets.

I hoped these would solve the obvious breakfast problem at our house and I am happy to report, they did!! I tried one of the Peach Vanilla ones last night and it was amazingly great!! Frankly I had a hard time sharing it with my husband when he asked for a bite-I wanted to savor each bite. It was more like a treat flavor than a breakfast flavor (does that make sense?)

This morning I put it to the ultimate test and gave it to the kids. The first fantastic part of these cups is that they truly take less than a minute to microwave (45 seconds). And guess what? I am VERY happy to say that after trying the Seneca farms Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Fruit Cups, my kids will now eat oatmeal.

In fact, my 7-yr-old boy is the one most opposed to oatmeal. He cried and screamed and refused to even try one bite this morning. I finally bribed him into taking one small bite, and he ate it. He ate it, swallowed it, then sheepishly said "I like it...can I eat the rest myself?!" He is actually eating another one as I type. (Now he is raving about it and asking me if I am typing all he is saying-let me just summarize: he REALLY LOVES it!)

What's the Deal?

If you go “Like” Seneca Farms on Facebook you can print out a coupon for $.55 off your first purchase (I think there is a limited number of prints though so do it sooner rather than later)

Where can you get this?

Currently available in Apple Cinnamon and Vanilla Peach, Seneca Farms Oatmeal & Fruit can be found nationally at Walmart and at a wide variety of retail grocery stores. BTW I LOVE that there is a detailed store list of where you can get Seneca product locally on their website: www.seneca-farms.com. Seneca Farms plans to expand its flavors later this year with Oatmeal & Fruit Cranberry Apple, and Oatmeal – Maple & Brown Sugar.
