Alright, let’s talk about this Cream of Wheat stuff, ya know, the stuff they feed babies and old folks like me. I ain’t no fancy cook, but I can make a decent bowl of it, and it fills ya up good, especially on a cold mornin’.
First off, ya gotta get yourself some of that Cream of Wheat. They sell it in a box, usually near the oatmeal and other breakfast stuff at the store. Don’t go buyin’ the fancy kind, the regular stuff is just fine. It’s cheap and it lasts a long time, that’s what I like about it.
- Water or Milk, Your Choice
- Pinch of Salt, Makes it Taste Better
- Sugar or Honey, If You Like it Sweet
- Butter or Margarine, Makes it Creamy
Now, how ya make it is simple. You gotta boil some water or milk, whichever you prefer. I like using milk, makes it creamier, ya know? But water works just fine if you’re out of milk or tryin’ to save a penny. Put it in a pot, not too big, not too small, just enough for how much you wanna eat. Get it boilin’ on the stove, medium heat is good, don’t wanna burn it.
Once it’s boilin’, you gotta slowly pour in the Cream of Wheat. Now, this is important, you gotta stir it while you’re pourin’ or it’ll get all lumpy. Nobody wants lumpy Cream of Wheat, it’s like eatin’ wallpaper paste. Stir it good, round and round, keep stirrin’ till it starts to thicken up. It don’t take long, maybe a minute or two.
Once it’s thick enough, take it off the stove. Now, some folks like it plain, but I always add a pinch of salt, just a little bit, makes it taste better. And if you got a sweet tooth like me, add some sugar or honey. A spoonful or two is usually enough, but you can add more if you like. My grandbaby, she likes it real sweet, puts in a whole lotta sugar, bless her heart.
And here’s a secret, if you wanna make it extra creamy, add a little bit of butter or margarine. Just a pat, stir it in, makes it all smooth and rich. It’s like a little treat, makes you feel warm inside.
Now, some folks get fancy with it, they add fruit or nuts or cinnamon. Me? I like it plain and simple. Just Cream of Wheat, milk, salt, sugar, and maybe some butter. That’s all you need, nothin’ fancy. It fills your stomach and gets you goin’ in the mornin’. It ain’t no fancy restaurant food, but it’s good and it’s filling.
I eat this stuff pretty much every day, keeps me goin’ you know. At my age, you need somethin’ warm and easy to digest. This Cream of Wheat, it does the trick. And it’s cheap too, can’t beat that. I remember when my kids were little, this is what I fed them for breakfast, kept them strong and healthy.
So there you have it, my simple recipe for Cream of Wheat. It ain’t rocket science, even I can make it. Just boil, pour, stir, and add a little somethin’ extra if you want. It’s good for you, it’s cheap, and it fills ya up. What more could you want?
Oh, and one more thing. Make sure you clean up after yourself. Don’t leave a mess in the kitchen, nobody wants to clean up after you. Wash your pot, wash your spoon, put everything away. That’s just good manners, ya know. My mama always told me, a clean kitchen is a happy kitchen.
So there you have it, from my kitchen to yours. Enjoy your Cream of Wheat, and have a good day. And don’t forget, a warm breakfast is the best way to start the day. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go wash my dishes.
And remember, don’t be afraid to experiment a little. Maybe you like it a little thicker, maybe you like it a little thinner. Maybe you wanna add some fruit or spices. It’s your Cream of Wheat, make it how you like it. Just remember the basics: boil, pour, stir, and sweeten to your liking. That’s all there is to it, simple as can be.
