Simple Meals ~ Cream of Wheat




I must be the only person in the world who loves Cream of Wheat.
At least, in our house, I am.
With all this blistery cold Wynter we're having, it's a perfect meal.
Plus, it fills me up, so I'm not snacking all day while stuck inside.



I have found that HOW you make it makes all the difference in the world.
I had a friends in high school, a brother and sister, who's MoM
knew how to handle the Cream of wheat.


But it's so simple.
I use the milk option when cooking mine.
That makes all the difference.
Also, to constantly stir it while cooking.
Whisk it really.


1 1/4 cup milk {I used 1%}
3 tbls Cream of Wheat
Whisk

Butter
Sugar
Cinnamaon
splash of Milk

Heat the milk to just boiling,
and while pouring the Cream of Wheat in, whisk it.
It only takes 2 minutes to cook so I whisk the whole time.

Pour into bowl,
add to taste:
Sugar
Butter
Cinnamon
Splash of milk

Let set for a couple of minutes,
stir it all together,
Eat.

yumm.

  4. I never had Cream of Wheat. I'm a Shredded Wheat lover though - with warm milk and butter and sugar. Yum.
