Meatless Monday #34

I have always enjoyed eating Cream of Wheat.  This smooth, creamy hot cereal is not just for breakfast.  It can be enjoyed anytime during the day!
 

Cream of Wheat™ Original Enriched Farina is made with ground wheat, has a smooth texture and is an excellent source of iron and calcium. The traditional cook-on-stove product is prepared by boiling water or milk and slowly pouring in the ground wheat while stirring. Let it simmer while stirring for 2 1/2 minutes after the ground wheat is blended. This product may also be cooked using a microwave oven for faster and easier preparation.

It is so delicious with cinnamon, raisins and Earth Balance (a vegan butter).  Sometimes, I eat it with chopped apples or bananas and ground flaxseed.  It is delicious anyway you like it!

    1. You're right - it's good at anytime. I had Cream of Wheat w/bananas for dinner just the other night.

  2. My folks used to eat cream of wheat all of the time when I was a kid. They ate it with just a bit of butter and it was really a turn-off for me. The way you make yours really looks delicious. I bet the flax seed gives it a nice nutty flavor.
