Cream of WHAT?
So I came across cream of wheat in the grocery store. Now I have eaten oatmeal and I have tried grits (not quite able to eat them) but never cream of wheat. I guess the generic name for it is enriched farina, which is even weirder! Well me being me, I bought it!
Upon returning home from the store, I broke out my box of cream of wheat and read the directions. It seemed simple enough and it resembled oatmeal enough, so I decided to break out a Ruthie Recipe for oatmeal and apply it to the cream of wheat.
When all was said and done, can you say YUM!!!!! It was so utterly awesome tasting. The texture however was a bit different, I guess it is porridge, like the three bears ate, I have no idea, it was very interesting, but I personally LOVED it! I tested it on my sister, the one who gags eating scrambled eggs, well she is my only sister but she still gags on weird textured food. Anyway she ate it, and she loved the taste but wasn't the fondest of the texture but there was no gagging so I take that as a good thing.

Well here is how I prepared it, Ruthie style:
Mix 1 serving of Cream of Wheat according the package (i used the microwave)
add a little butter
and brown sugar (however much you like, I put like 2-3 loose tbs not packed)
I love cream of wheat....alittle butter and some white sugar. YUM!
