There's something comforting about a hot breakfast to jump start a chilly morning. My daughter has been a long time fan of Cocoa Wheats, which happens to be located right next to the box of Cream of Wheat at the grocers. I have always skipped over the Cream of Wheat because something about the picture on the box made me think of southern grits, which I used to honestly feel a rage towards when they would serve that for breakfast at my preschool. My whole family on my mother's side is from the south and I don't think a single one of us ever acquired a taste for grits, so I don't even know how those are still a thing, but here we are. So as I was scrolling through Golden Blossom Honey's recipes last week looking for a Valentine's Day recipe to share with you all next month, I happened upon their recipe for Quick Cream of Wheat. You know I've been a fan of their recipes for over a decade now, so I decided to trust their judgement and tossed that red box in my cart while sending up a hope and a prayer that it wouldn't taste like grits in the end. 

As far as easy breakfasts go, you can't find an easier one than this. Just a few simple ingredients and a microwave are all you need to have your hot breakfast on the table in under 5 minutes. As for the taste test, my daughter was the first to try it and declared it tasted like nothing. I think it's because she was expecting it to be as sweet as her Cocoa Wheats and because she ate it without mixing any honey or fruit in. The husband, on the other hand, was really after the fruit at first, but as he dug in was like, "This is actually really good! Oh, look at the ingredients on the box. It's really good for you too. There's a lot of vitamins in this!" After reluctantly trying my share, I ended up agreeing with Jason. This was actually quite good. Nothing like those icky southern grits at all. I did opt to skip the water and apple juice in this recipe and went with vanilla almond milk instead, simply because I never like to use water in these kinds of recipes and apple juice usually doesn't agree with my sensitive stomach. I did top with my favorite berries, banana slices, and a drizzle more of honey. You can add in any of your favorite fruits, nuts, or seeds to dress it up a little or eat it plain as the recipe calls for. 2 out of 3 Mahoneys give this recipe a thumbs up. Don't mind the 3rd one though. Sometimes she just doesn't know what's good for her LOL.
