Freshly popped popcorn makes a quick and delicious breakfast cereal. Popular in Colonial America, popcorn for breakfast is fun and easy to prepare.

Place popcorn in a bowl and add cold milk, just like any breakfast cereal. Add a teaspoon or two of sugar (or cinnamon sugar!) and your choice of the following stir-ins:

• Dried fruit such as raisins, dates, apples and currants
• Nuts, such as sliced almonds, toasted walnuts, pine nuts or pecan pieces
• Fresh fruit such as sliced bananas, strawberries or raspberries
• Tropical touches such as coconut flakes, dried papaya and pineapple pieces
