I believe this is a retailer of nutritional products, so take some of what they say with a grain of salt. But, as a substitute for bulghur, I'm happy with it.

What's for breakfast
No one is eating breakfast anymore LOL
My wife and I have mixed fruit (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, banana, and mango) with yogurt and granola. It sounds like a lot but its really a single bowl.
Weekends we have at least one day that we have bacon (or goetta), with eggs, and a multigrain English muffin.
We would love to have bread with everything and every meal but as we have aged we find that we cant exercise off all THOSE calories.

What's for breakfast
Homemade café con leche with my various powders, to be followed by breakfast pills.
I’m working on finding a substitute for pastina, as I can’t find individual boxes locally. Oh, I can order online at the ridiculous price of $4/box, or get a 16-count case which averages $2/box via amazon. But I don’t have the room to store a 16-count case, nor do I crave it often enough to justify finding room for such.
I’ve tried other small shapes, such as orzo, stelline, and acini di pepe, but none of them cook up satisfactorily. The taste is reminiscent, but the stelline was slurpy and the others were just off in the porridge texture I’m looking for.
I’ll keep looking for a local vendor which carries pastina, but in the meantime will continue to experiment with alternatives.
I know the East Coast brand Ronzoni discontinued making it, but I haven’t seen Ronzoni since moving out here. Barilla is plentiful in other shapes, and I know they still manufacture pastina, but I haven’t seen it locally in several years. I also know there are Italian brands that make it, but I haven’t seen those anywhere either, and I haven’t sourced an Eastside Italian market/deli to look there.
The search continues.
