Cracked Wheat Cereal
"This recipe comes from DH's grandma who passed away several years ago. I actually grew up hating cracked wheat cereal - until I tried hers. Her secret was the handful of walnuts she added. This recipe has ingredients for 1 person. So times the recipe by however many you want to serve."

Who knew hot cereal could taste this good. DH said I was making noises :). This easily fed us both. I sweetened with a bit of light brown sugar and added a bit of cream. I'm thinking next time....I'll use real maple syrup, for that 'maple walnut' taste. Thanks Chef on the coast for introducing us to a wonderful alternative to oatmeal. Made for the 12 Days of Christmas Recipe Swap. UPDATE: Feb 8, 2014 - We are still enjoying this recipe. Generally once a week. It's the best out there. Thanks again Chef on the Coast. ? -
What a healthy and yummy way to start the day. Made as written adding real maple syrup to sweeten and then of course some milk as what is cereal with out the milk? DH loved the extra nutty flavor the walnuts gave the wheat. Thanks so much for the post.

<p>I live on the Oregon Coast with husband and four boys. I am able to stay at home with them and hold down the fort. I have many cookbooks which I enjoy searching through for our family favorites. I recently started working as a home health care worker for seniors with disabilities (which I absolutely love), I love to quilt, crochet, bake, read, garden, watch the rain (which happens quite frequently here) and play with my kids. <br /><br />I am passionate about canning, canning, canning. I will admit I like admiring all the hard work after the jars are placed on the shelves. hehee I am all for if I can make it myself I will. Yes...I am frugal. I also love to bake. Especially homemade bread. I will continue to do so until arthritis takes over my hands. Then I will use more of the mixer for the kneading part. <br />All recipes I post are ones I've made and are our famiy favorites. <br /><br />I love pretty flowers. These flowers grace our yard every year. I could watch them all day long and be perfectly content! <br /><a href=http://s260.photobucket.com/albums/ii24/zauggrc/?action=view?t=2008flowers008.jpg target=_blank><img src=http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii24/zauggrc/2008flowers008.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /></a></p>
