Instant Cream of Wheat with Nuts
| March 20, 2010 | Posted by usha under Breakfast, Daily Recipes, Quick and Easy Recipes, Vegetarian, Vegetarian |
This morning I got up early and as it is weekend, U woke up late. We had an early dinner last night and my stomach was rumbling non stop. I could not wait for U to wake up any long and made myself some nutty instant cream of wheat for breakfast. Later, when U woke up I made him an omelet, toast and fried bacon strips. I did not bother to take a picture of his breakfast, as it would not qualify for JFI: Breakfast event. I am sending my breakfast though.
Before I get to the recipe, it is beautiful Saturday out here and am heading out to do some window shopping or may be some shopping too, while U watches NCAA basketball at home! It is a sunny morning and was 60 degrees around 11 am when I stepped out to pick up some stuff from the drug store around the corner! I am going to enjoy this wonderful weather, staying out as long as I can! How is the weather in you neck of the woods?
Cooking Time: 1 ½ minutes
Serves: 1
- 1 Instant Cream of Wheat Original Packet
- ¾ cup Water or Milk (I used water)
- 1 tbsp Honey (adjust to taste)
- Few sliced Almonds
- 2 -3 Pecans broken into small pieces
- 1 – 2 Walnuts broken into small pieces
- Empty the cream of wheat into a microwave safe bowl. Add honey and water to the bowl. Microwave for 1½ minutes on high. OR Follow the instructions on the packet.
- Mix it and top it with nuts of your choice. May be even fresh berries.
This is a good idea for a weekday breakfast for the kids and the cream of wheat is made into upma mostly.
We are having similar weather here in our neck of the woods too. Perfect to get us working in the garden patch to get it ready for summer growing.
This is a quick and good weekday breakfast.
Yesterday as I was walking down the lane, some of my neighbors were planting their plants too. Perfect weather for gardening!
Thats a wholesome and instant cream of wheat with nuts..looks awesome..
That looks yummy and thanks for this entry.
Particularly this season, when we don’t know when snow falls going to end in our region . It was snowing till afternoon today and we are in 30′s.
I begin to feel jealous when people talk about the spring and gardening.
Sorry to hear about the snow! Last few days have been awesome here, not very cold and not very hot either.
Cream of wheat is what I sometimes make and have with milk and sugar. I think of it as Rava payasam.
Even I havent tried any thing else than upma with cream of wheat..Love the combo with nuts, honey and milk..:)
