When I was growing up, my favorite breakfast was cream of wheat cereal. Cream of wheat was tiny bits of wheat cooked with milk. Now I realize that a dinosaur couldn’t eat that! Still, sometimes you want to eat things even if it’s not healthy for you.
Then one day as a birthday present, my boys made me this recipe and made me so happy! It tastes just like my cream of wheat breakfast, but only contains the healthy part! It was so good! Hope you love it, too!
