Help Me and I'll Help You!
Okay people, listen up. I have a baby and I don't know what to do with him. There's a nifty guide mode, and of course the auto mode works great too, but I want to know more. I love new toys - but even more so I love learning about all of their features. I spent an obnoxious amount of time learning every single thing my Blackberry Bold was capable of doing and now consider myself a Blackberry Goddess. I wanna be a Nikon Goddess!! So, I'm turning to my readers. If any of you know any sites with DSLR guides, tips, or how-tos, I would greatly appreciate you recommending them!
In return, I have a little giveaway. You do not have to send me a site to participate in the giveaway, but I would definitely appreciate if you have one.
A couple weeks ago, Annelies from Attune Foods offered to send me some more Uncle Sam cereal. I had previously reviewed the Uncle Sam Original flavor, but now that they have three new flavors, I was going to get to try those too!
First, I tried the Wild Strawberry. This one is lightly sweet and full of dried strawberries. I was really impressed with the amount of strawberries in the cereal. The Strawberry flavor packs the most fiber of the three - 8 grams in a 3/4 cup serving.
My second flavor was the Honey Almond. This one is so crunchy! It would be great on top of Greek yogurt. It's not as sweet as I was expecting and has a very natural taste.
Finally, I tried the Great Multi-Grains. I expected this flavor to be bland, but it is actually my favorite! I swear it tasted like it contained cinnamon, but according to the ingredients it doesn't! The only thing I may have been tasting that was different from the other two was oat flakes.
Would you like to try a box of Uncle Sam cereal? Leave me a comment telling me which flavor you'd like to try the most and you just may win a box! For nutritional information on these products, please check out the Uncle Sam site. There are also some great recipes - one of which is mine! :) Giveaway will end at noon on Friday, October 29th, when I will randomly choose a winner. Good luck!
I think my comment YESTERDAY could be my entry?? okay... THIS GUY is a GENIUS... Ken Rockwell, and I linked directly to his D3100 page for you, but for anyone else out there, he has AWESOME knowledge on pretty much every camera out there. Genius. :D

Wish I could help you out girly ohh and win your giveaway too ahah but I know NOTHING ;) Good luck though!
ReplyDeleteI would love to try the Honey Almond flavor :)
ReplyDeleteI have a DSLR too and I just learned by playing around with it. Did your Nikon camera come with the user CD and instructions? Mine came with a DVD and it taught me about aperture, shutter speed and etc. I have yet to find a website that is good with instructions though.
I'm usually more of a fan of fruits in cereals so I would have to go with the wild strawberry kind. Do they sell these in stores and if so, which ones?

Strawberry! YUM! I wish I could give you some advice on the camera. I swear I could never be a photographer...I have to take about 1000 of the same shot to get one that is not blurry. Share your insight when you get some please!
ReplyDeleteThe multi grain is right up my alley. I dont knwo much about Nikons I am an avid cannon user. But I like both brands because they are camera companies not like Sony etc who makes TVs cameras and a million other gadgets. -Stace
ReplyDeleteWish I could help you with the DLSR, hun! But I LOVE the "what to expect" cover! LOL
ReplyDeleteI'm leaning towards the honey almond flava...
I think I'd like the multi-grain blend the best - just because I like to add stuff to my cereal. :)
ReplyDeleteoooh, multi-grain sounds delicious on greek yogurt!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to try the Great Multi-Grains!
ReplyDeletedpreview.com is a great website with forums and stuff! You can usually find all you need there for all different cameras etc!! Those cereals look yummy!!
ReplyDeleteI would love to try the Strawberry one!

ReplyDeleteHa! I just bought a Nikon and am currently taking a photo journalism course at the university. I will let you know when I figure this baby out! They are seriously a computer within themselves. Yikes!
