Breakfast is the most important meal of a day. Sometimes, it will impact your mood all day long you even don't notice. When I came to America, I was amazed that there are so many breakfast items in the super market. I adapted to cereal and milk quickly. I like it because it was quick, refreshing and kind of sweet.  Morning rush never stop us from having breakfast. His favorite cereal is the mini wheat, big bite, original flavor (he is so picky). I love my corn pops. Except cold cereals, I tried to make hot cereals once a week. Creamy wheat is our favorite. It contains rich iron which is good for girls...
早餐是全天最重要的一餐。有時候,有和沒有吃早餐會影響人一天的情緒。來到美國,看到超市琳琅滿目的早餐商品很驚訝,很快我就適應了早餐吃牛奶加 cereal. 我喜歡是因為簡單,清爽並甜甜的, 很適合我從小喜歡吃甜食的毛病. 早上的匆忙從來沒有打攪我們吃早餐的習慣. 他很挑剔, 最喜歡大塊,原味的 mini wheat. 不吃任何味道的. 我的最愛是corn pops. 除了牛奶加 cereal, 我盡量每星期做一次 hot cereals. 麥乳粥是我們最喜歡的一種. 它含鐵豐富, 對女孩子們來說是好東西哦...


Here is the local brand Creamy wheat I bought from local mill factory. I don't think it was organic. Honestly, I don't care. It was in the 1 lb plastic bag. I kept it in my air tight glass container to keep it fresh.
下圖是我從本地方附近地區 mill factory 買的麥乳. 好象不是有機的. 坦白說我不在乎. 買來時包裝是一磅裝的. 我放入空氣密封的玻璃罐子裏儲存.



Look at closely, it is very fine grains. My cheap Nikon camera might not allow you to see clearly. But, you get idea.
近看看,麥子顆粒很細,我的尼康傻瓜像機也照不好,湊合看吧.


In term of cooking, it is quiet simple. And this is my way......
Heat 1 cup water in a heavy bottom sauce pan at medium high heat. Add creamy wheat ~3/4 cup while the water is still cold and stir frequently to prevent forming big chunks together. When water starts boiling, turn low heat and continue to stir. Creamy wheat starts to thicken. Add 1 cup milk and stir. You can add more or less milk to get the texture you like. Cook another 2 minutes or until it is fully cooked.
做法很簡單,這是我的做法......
取一隻厚底鍋, 加一杯冷水,高火加熱, 趁水冷的時候一邊攪拌一邊加入麥乳, 這樣一來防止結大塊, 水開上來要關小火,繼續攪拌,麥乳開始變厚, 這時候加一杯牛奶攪拌均勻,再煮1 - 2分鍾就好了. 牛奶的量可多可少根據個人喜歡的厚薄程度來定.


Serving creamy wheat is art. I am just kidding... A lots people like to add salt and brown sugar during the cooking process. I don't. I like to add the brown sugar or honey in the bowl. Serve it with dry cranberry, walnuts or macadamia nuts. It is delicious. Of course, it can serve with boiled or salty eggs, and salty vegetables, too.... the Chinese way!
吃麥乳粥是一門藝術, 開玩笑... 很多人喜歡煮粥的時候加入鹽和紅糖, 我不喜歡. 我喜歡吃的時候加紅糖或蜂蜜. 再加些果脯, 核桃仁, macadamia 幹果, 很好吃哦. 當然了,配上鹹蛋, 煮雞蛋, 或鹹菜, 中國吃法也很不錯. 各取所需!



Should make more than once a week from healthy point of view. Well, once a week is good rate to start with. Don't you think so?
從健康的角度說來, 一星期吃一次好象少了點, 不過一星期吃一次是很好的開始,你們同意嗎?
