I do a mix of grains for breakfast. 2 T of 10 grain, a sprinkle of bran, a sprinkle of flax and a couple T oatmeal. I add enough boiling water to cover, stir and let sit for about 15 min. Add another T water and microwave on high for 1 1/2 minutes. I stir in a small container of applesauce instead of milk and sugar. Gives me a good start on the day. NOTE: all measurements are approximate.

When baking, substitute King Arthur White Whole Wheat flour for your regular AP flour. This is a different strain of wheat that what you're used to. It has the same nutrition as hard red wheat but is much lighter and can be used even in muffins and cookies w/o folks even knowing the difference.

I like cream of wheat and cornmeal mush for breakfast. Not together. I also eat bulgur wheat as a breakfast cereal.

I haven't made a mush in years.... i should try it again. I love it fried and then topped with maple syrup. Yummmmm!

Oh, a steaming hot bowl of cornmeal mush with a dollop of maple syrup in the middle....that sounds so good it's going to be tomorrow's breakfast. I grew up on that and raised my kids on it too. Haven't had it yet this winter but it's time...snow's on the ground.

It does take a while to cook. I have a whole lot of coarse stoneground cornmeal in the back of the fridge. It's a Sunday morning kind of thing for me. I like cornmeal pancakes too.

Oh wow - cream of wheat - I haven't had it for years. It was my favorite growing up. **mental note**: add to grocery list.

Here's a tip for morning-impaired people who still like whole-grain goodness for breakfast. Take your favorite grain (steel cut oats or whole oats, for example) Before you go to bed, bring them to a boil with the appropriate amount of water and seasonings and then put them in a wide mouth thermos,then close the thermos tightly. The grains will cook overnight in the thermos. In the morning, spoon it out into a bowl, microwave if necessary (usually isn't) and dig in.

This works great for cut oats (like McCanns Irish Oatmeal) which taste much better than regular oatmeal. But I don't like waiting 40 minutes or so in the morning for those oats to get done, so I let the thermos do the work for me while I sleep. I would imagine this technique would work fairly well for other grains as well.
