WIN-It-Wednesday: Erewhon’s Buckwheat & Hemp Cereal
This week’s sponsor for the Win-It-Wednesday on BeFreeForMe.com is a new tasty and nutritious gluten-free cereal that has made it’s way into a Whole Food’s Market near you…Erewhon’s Buckwheat & Hemp Cereal.
First off, let me clarify one common misconception about buckwheat: Despite it’s name buckwheat IS free of gluten! Plus, Erewhon Buckwheat & Hemp cereal is not only gluten-free, but also free of nuts, dairy and eggs.
Erewhon, which was founded in 1966, has been making gluten-free cereal for years. They’re philosophy is “Simple Ingredients. Simply Made” and their newest addition to their gluten-free cereal line-up also holds true to that philosophy as well. I love the crunchy simplicity of this cereal. When I toss in a handful of raisins, I think it taste just like a healthy version of Raisin Bran. Which is awesome since Raisin Bran was once one of my favorite cereals.
Buckwheat and hemp are both nutrient dense ingredients – so enjoying a bowl of this cereal with milk, using it as a mix-in with yogurt, or even using it as a crunchy-fried-chicken-like coating on chicken (or even fish) are all fabulous ways to get the 5 grams of fiber, 6 grams of protein and 42 grams of whole grains that each serving of this cereal delivers.
I also like that this cereal is non-GMO project verified, something that is important to me, and has been in the spotlight recently. All of the Erewhon’s gluten-free cereals are also certified by GIG (Gluten Intolerance Group).
In other words, I can feel healthy and good about eating this cereal.
All these simple, healthy and tasty reasons are why I am so happy to have Erewhon Buckwheat & Hemp cereal sponsor the next two week’s WIN-It-Wednesdays on BeFreeForMe.com.

many things come to mind that make me happy most include my dear mother who left the earth way to early. she would always have snacks waiting for us when we got home from school. It might have been cereal, apples, canned fruit but there was always a snack (my fav cereal was raisin bran) The best part of the memory is she worked two jobs but still had snack waiting for us.

Curling up with a good book!

What makes me truly happy in life is the simple things in life. nothing complicated, nothing fancy, just the simple beauty of the day is enough to make me smile. Outside my door is a court yard where roses bloom and wither and both make me smile seeing the circle of life even in plants. That is why something such as this ceral is happy because it is healthy and good for your body and thus for your mind and soul. Yes, I can smile because of a bowl of cereal with almond milk 🙂
October 17th, 2012 at 6:11 pm
What makes me happy are my 2 1/2 year old grandaughters and 6 year old grandson and the look on their face and squeels when they see me.

Playing with the cats that my aunt has, which were all originally from the streets, is one of my simple happy times. They show how little things are entertaining like a string. And another simple thing is drawing. Love to draw all sorts of things from real life like flowers and such to cartoons. An activity that I have been doing since early age of around 3 years old. 🙂
October 18th, 2012 at 7:30 pm

Seeing a baby look at the world — and break spontaneously into a smile — suddenly, I see everything new as well. And thunder and rain! somehow, I always feel happy with the rain; it’s like the world is washed, and all I have to do is watch it, and enjoy.
October 22nd, 2012 at 5:02 am
Starry Skies and crisp Fall nights

I enjoy being up early on a dark, crisp, fall morning; enjoying coffee, while my dog, cat, and cockatoo snooze…. seems it’s the best time of the day to enjoy alone time.
October 23rd, 2012 at 12:20 pm
Little things mean a lot: the unexpected call from an old friend, good news from afar, another opportunity to right a wrong, good reports from an annual check-up!

What makes me happy is my cat. If it’s been a difficult day, seeing my cat who loves me unconditionally brings a smile to my heart. If all else fails, hug your cat……and eat a bowl of cereal .
October 24th, 2012 at 2:17 pm
Reading a good book with a cup of hot chocolate by candle light. :0)

The hour before sunrise, when everything is just in that shivering still that means it’s waking soon; and the night is fuzzy with morning.

You can’t beat that!!!
October 29th, 2012 at 10:47 am
My grandchildren make me happy. Also seeing my children smiling and enjoying life. I love to see the fall colors in the trees and then in the spring I love to see the apple trees blossom and all of the earth come to life. I also love to go fishing, sitting on the bank and watching all of God’s creatures drink from the water.

There are so many things in life that make me happy, but one that I really love is the reaction my puppy shows me when I get home from work!! No matter what is going on, it is like he is seeing me for the first time in years…I love it!!! Second? Not having to set my alarm!!! Life is good!!

Spending time with my cats and ferrets.
November 3rd, 2012 at 6:13 pm
Sometimes, the gratitude for being able to run again, early in the morning — and not be in the dead-end drizzling haze of weak limbs and nausea — make me unutterably happy.
Third time for an entry — but this has been a wonderful exercise in remembering happies! It’s made me happy in itself.
November 4th, 2012 at 12:50 am
Playing with my cat, him following me and spying on me, him sleeping tight against me in bed, all make me happy. Also drinking my real Dr. Pepper (with sugar) in a bottle makes me happy.
November 4th, 2012 at 1:22 pm

My favorite time of the day is early in the morning when everyone else is asleep. This is “my” time when I have coffee, breakfast (cereal!) and solve the issues in my life whether they be personal, local or national. The morning newspaper is at my side and all is well.
