Breakfast, cooked shredded wheat and porridge 5 ways

I tried this next one out of curiosity because I would have never thought to make fried shredded wheat, that just sounds off. But I will try weird once and I really liked it so I thought I would share it here


It was pretty good, I must say.

I have tried peanut butter and pickle sandwiches and I had no problem at all with those, I could deal with it (so you might be right to doubt my judgment)

And since on the topic of breakfast I will post Jamie Oliver's perfect porridge 5 ways. He cooks it one way and prepares it 5 different ways.


I use Bob's Red Mill Scottish oatmeal, I really like that, and I prepare mine with water (like in the video). I prefer between a tablespoon or two of cream, 1 1/2 teaspoons of brown sugar and a drizzle of honey also (sometimes with banana slices, sometimes not).

I was looking for ideas for this and I often like what he puts out there so I posted it for folks who might be looking for more of a variety with that as well.

God bless

LOL---as kids my brothers and would heat shredded wheat in the oven till good and toasted and put a bunch of butter on it and milk--we loved it! Never thought of frying it, but it guess it's pretty much the same thing. Hadn't thought of that in years.
Oh, yah--we also loved to cook grape nuts--like you would oatmeal.

Yeah I saw this guys video while searching through some of his gardening vids and I had to peek. I thought, hmmm... I will have to give this bad boy a try. His looked so delicious too, I couldnt wait to get to the store so I could try it. I was glad I did.

I bought a huge box, because I thought, great, I will bag the rest using my food saver. So I put three in one bag and as my food saver was sucking the air out of the bag it crushed the shredded wheat cereal bars (turning them into powder)

I thought, now that was a very bad idea LOL!

Now yours sounds interesting, how did you cook your grape nuts?

Toasting them, like you would almonds?

I never thought to do that either, I might have to give that a try too.

Just gotta get us some grape nuts first, I know the food saver wont turn those into powder

I cant believe I didnt think that would happen

Yeah, I dont know what I can do with powdered shredded wheat
(but I better think of something LOL!)

Gotta try that, never have. Not much of a breakfast eater or breakfast food lover, but lately the stuff sounds pretty good, even if I ate it for dinner.

I dont know how you remember to tie your shoes at your age
(let alone reach your feet to do so)

Just messing with you

Im no spring chicken myself

Thanks for the granola idea God bless you

No--I guess you're no spring chicken alright---can't remember what you just read a second ago---I said grape nuts, you geriatric basket case--not granola!!

I always thought they were sort of the same thing really, because I didnt think grapes had nuts (but seeds)
