First time Cream of Wheat

This is a bit of a weird post, but I always find 'first taste' posts interesting. All of my east coast friends would go on and on about this stuff. So when I found this in my supermarket I thought I would give it a go.

I followed the instructions for two. It was pretty straight forward. When I turned the  heat off and tasted it I realized what the fun part was: all the toppings! 

Just a dash of nutmeg and all spice, I added a bit of butter and brown sugar afterwards. It was super yummy! I couldn't even finish my bowl it was so filling. Eugene was not complaining, as I am making him more after he finishes my bowl.  (This is when the microwave instructions kick in)

I will be making this again. I topped it with one of my favorites, ground flaxseeds. I think some berries would go great with this too. I read somewhere that this makes a good coating for baked meats, I'm going to try it with some tilapia sometime. So I'm no longer out of the cream o wheat loop! What are your favorite ways of preparing it?

Bite Your Bacon Brunch Sandwiches

 Hi everyone,
I'm a little sick girl just barely getting out of the woodwork. I celebrated my 10th anniversary on the 21st with a nasty three day sore throat which bloomed into a cold by the end of the night. I've been living off of soup since Tuesday and I'm getting a little tired of it. So since I can walk around now I got up and made what goes best with Orange Juice: Breakfast! I'd like to say these are brunch, but I made these about an hour ago so these were Breakfast/Dinner. Also lets face it... giving guys a good meal with bacon makes up for everything, sort of like flowers and jewelry for us ladies. Eugene's been such a good sport with me being sick on our day and all...

.

If you're wondering about the name, I steamed the scrambled eggs with Horseradish White Cheddar. If you never tried the stuff I highly recommend it. It also goes great with some freshly sliced apples. Also, if my spatula looks a little funny its because it's a Japanese Okonomiyaki Spatula (Basically Japanese Pizza). To get my eggs soft I pour a little water in the pan and I mix it with a whisk while it starts to heat.

 The meat is center cut bacon with hamburger patties. I just cut the patties into 4 and the bacon strips into 3. Again, these were cooked with a little water in the pan on high heat. I drained the rest of the fat.

 The bread is just two common dinner rolls toasted and pressed flat. This was literally a whatever was in the kitchen type of meal. So happy that it came out so nicely! Just a splash of ketchup; the horseradish picked up the sweetness out of it.

 There it is! Glad I took out my Nikkon for these unlike the Matcha Krispies. I really love shooting Food Porn if you haven't noticed. ;) Feels good to blog again, but sadly I must rest if I'm going to have any fun tommorow.

Happy Holidays!
