I like my cream of wheat plain and on the thick side, with a couple over easy eggs on top. Everyone here thinks it's gross but I like it so pffft.

Sounds good to me! Is it like the wheat version of grits?

Pretty much. I make the grits sorta the same way. Have to make two batches though. DD#3 is the only one that likes them but hers has to be with milk and maple syrup. DW will have some same as I, on the thicker side with butter and sharp cheddar mixed in, couple over easy eggs on top, salt, pepper.
Cream of wheat though I add nothing, salt and pepper on the eggs that's it.
For some reason I have eggs a lot, lol.
Fridge is getting full of them now, time for a lot of pickled eggs and sausage.
Think I'm going to try out putting those dried hot peppers in them this time.

It sounds like a good way to eat cream of wheat. I am getting behind on eating eggs too. My 6 hens have been laying a lot of eggs! 5 yesterday and 4 today

We actually use about 6 to 8 eggs a day here I am more of oatmeal steel cut is my preferred I cook it on the stove adding a fruit jam prior to eating sometimes I like to add 1/2 and 1/2 also

Funny. I just stepped into this topic and I'm sitting here eating a bowl of grits with honey for breakfast. Being raised by a southern mamma, grits were a staple in the house. When I was a kid, mom would make a big pot of grits, we'd have them for dinner then the left overs would be turned into fried mush for the next morning's breakfast.

I love them any way they are fixed. Cream of wheat also. Oatmeal I'm a little luke warm on except if you serve it with brown sugar and cinnamon then it's feast time.

Hope everyone is well. I didn't take a MTX shot yesterday so I'm feeling half way human this morning.. I think it's causing me as many side effects as the gout meds were.And yes, I'm still waiting for my call back from the doctors. DH asked me if I was going to call them again and I told him no, why bother. I've called twice, first time the end of April and the second time, the end of May and no response to any call. I think It's time to unleash my red head genes the next time I go in.

In the meantime I'm controlling my symptoms with cherry extract and juice/cherries and diet.
