Cheers to the first product review! Necessary legal biz: the following is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Attune Foods. All opinions, silly or otherwise, are mine.

Let me just break open the package by saying: I’m impressed by the clean quality of all their products, and proud to recommend ‘em. Their Crispy Brown Rice Cereal in particular is all organic, gluten-free, non-GMO, and whole grain — as are most of their other Erewhon products too! I mean, we should nominate cereal for the Nobel next time.

(I highly suggest trying out their other flavors too. For the milk-in-a-bowl type, my favorite’s the Crispy Brown Rice with Mixed Berries!)

It’s just nice being around loving family, especially one so welcoming. (For example…his mom, although very traditionally Dominican, always makes me some sweet vegetarian entree on the side.)
