Field Day makes some awfully good-tasting foods. I've eaten 'em, and I've written about 'em---buttery round crackers that rival Ritz; cans of pasta rings and ravioli that rival another Big Name Brand. Field Day sent me a box of some of their newer products to try, and they arrived--ta da!---on National Peanut Butter Day.
Inside the box were a jar each of smooth and crunchy peanut butter. Please---do yourself a favor and try FD's peanut butter. It's what peanut butter SHOULD taste like!
Also inside that box was a family of Field Day's cereals, all made from whole grains: Whole Grain Golden Flax, Whole Grain Multi-Grain, Whole Grain Raisin Bran, and Oat Bran.
What sets Field Day's crackers, pastas, peanut butter, and cereals apart from Big Name Brands is that they're all organic, they're all Non-GMO Project Verified…and they're all delicious and nutritious.
At our house, maybe yours, too, we like to repurpose foods, look for new and fun ways to use them. Like the crackers. They're great accompaniments to soup or salad; not just alongside, but in them. Daughter Heather, our household's designated cook, crushes the crackers and adds them to green salads for a surprisingly tasty, unexpected pop of flavor.Yum! For holiday giving, she made the crackers into choco-covered almond butter sandwiches for yet another YUM! Like the cereal. For sure, we all know it's good for breakfast or a quick snack. But for one of THE best crumb coatings ever, whiz a cup or two of the flakes in your food processor, then coat your sustainably-raised chicken or pork chops with them. (Healthy tip: Bake, don't deep fry them.)
The other night, we were hungry for Puppy Chow. With no chex-type cereal in the pantry, Heather wondered how the Oat Bran would taste in its place. Only one way to find out! In no time, she was pouring the melted chocolate chips, butter, and roasted almond butter (we both have to avoid peanut butter, unfortunately) over the oat bran flakes, stirring to coat well. After waiting for a respectable amount of time while the chocolate blend cooled a bit, she added powdered sugar. Man, oh man! Goooood eats, and highly recommended!
What I like best about Field Day's Oat Bran Cereal
- It's organic, free of GMOs, and it's Non-GMO Project Verified---the box wears both labels to shout the good news
- It's made with organic dried cane syrup, unsulfured molasses and grape juice concentrate, not highly-processed granulated sugar
- It contains 110 calories per serving (before milk is added)
- It contains a nutrition blend of B-vitamins including folic acid
- One box serves 14 people or one person 14 times, at three-quarters of a cup each helping
- It's versatile.
