    Oh man... I eat cream of wheat so often my family teases me about it.

    I usually make it with almond milk, vanilla or almond extract, a spoonful of sugar and a pinch of salt.

    Other favorites additions:
    Add tablespoon or two of baking cocoa
    Cut down on milk and stir in half a cup of greek yogurt at the end
    Cinnamon and nutmeg
    A few tablespoons of greek yogurt and a spoonful of cream cheese
    Fruit. Any fruit.
    Peanut butter.

    This morning I mixed in mashed kabocha squash, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Was pretty tasty.

    I could go on...

    I actually use dry cream of wheat in a bean burger recipe that is OUTSTANDING!

    I'll go post it, in case anyone's interested.

    I love cream of wheat, but I love grits more! DH gives me grief cuz I eat my grits with sugar, butter, cinnamon and raisins. He says the only way to eat grits is with a dash of Louisianna HotSauce.

    I eat it as a treat. I make mine with 1% milk, to help save some calories as I love it with cinnamon & sugar sprinkled on top.

    LOVE Cream of Wheat! I make mine tons of different ways but my go-to is with a splash of flavored creamer (so many varieties!) and cinnamon sprinkled on top. Also, it's really yummy with a dallop of pumpkin puree, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Tastes just like pumpkin pie!

    The way I always make it is to put 2 tsp of sugar and 1 Tbsp of butter. It's the way my mom made it when I was little. Started eating it again a few weeks ago

    I have a pack of cream of wheat, and 2 random packs of oatmeal for breakfast most workdays.
    Thickens it all up.

    OMG, I LOVE Cream of Wheat, had it when I was a kid, up until I was diagnosed with Celiac... My fave was to make it with lo fat milk and a bit of Maple Syrup on it. YUM!!

    My dad used to make it for us when we were younger.. he'd always throw in raisins so that's usually what I do. I've tried it with brown sugar and maple syrup and I didn't care for either. Craisins would be good too or dried cherries.. pretty much any dried fruit I think would be great. Or milk and honey.

    Hmmm, haven't had cream of wheat in many years, might have to try it again. I eat oatmeal almost every day and add cottage cheese, fruit and nuts. Not sure if cottage cheese would be a good addition to cream of wheat??? Add it after cooking.
