CREAMY CREAM OF WHEAT CEREAL WITH MAPLE SYRUP AND BANANAS
Kids of all ages enjoy this...my DH loves this in the cooler months, and I could eat the whole thing myself, it is that good! Make certain to use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to make this, as it will scorch easily, or it also can be made in the microwave, but you will have to keep taking it out to stir it. You can also use pancake syrup in place of the maple syrup (store-bought or homemade). If you are a Cream of Wheat fan, then this is a recipe you are certain to enjoy!

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.
