I nearly fell off my breakfast stool. On the box of GrapeNuts was a recipe for hot grapenuts. HUH?

Combine in a bowl 1/2 C grapenuts and 1/3 C milk. Microwave etc.......

Do they think we're morons, or do people really need this kind of guidance?

If they really wanted to do something, they'd publish the recipe for GrapeNut custard, a fave dessert of mine, and get some nutrition into folks.

Rant over.

The sad fact is that a portion of the population are morons. So, yes,
some people do need that kind of guidance.

It's more like a serving suggestion than a recipe.

No. If you get a chance, look at a box. It clearly calls it a 'recipe'.

Years ago, there used to be a recipe on the back of the GrapeNuts
package for a GrapeNuts "pudding cake" - you know - the kind that
forms a custard on the bottom with a cake on the top. IIRC, it was
lemon flavoured.

I googled GrapeNut custard and the recipes that came up weren't like
that. Maybe someone here remembers the pudding cake recipe.

I've seen ads about it on TV. There's a wintry, snowy background
outside that warm cozy kitchen. An actor portraying a grandpa is having
a hot breakfast of microwaved GrapeNuts with the grandkids.

It's just another way for them to try to sell the product.

Hot milk to make it soft and less likely to break your teeth? I
never could deal with the original GrapeNuts and I've always had pretty
strong teeth.

Hot milk and I have not been friends from my childhood. It makes me
gag -- well, actually, milk itself makes me gag. My mother put cod
liver oil in warm milk for my breakfast drink I eat cereal dry or

Me either. Love the taste of them but I could never eat more than one
serving from the box as my jaws would be too sore.

We refer to the original recipe here which apparently they had changed, got
complaints and changed it back.

http://www.postfoods.com/our-brands/grape-nuts/

Used to be touted as a health food. The guy who did their commercials was
named Eull Gibbons. Everyone knew who he was because he started out the
commercials saying "Hi" to us and then telling us his name. When he died,
much comedic hoopla ensued on various TV shows with people doing skits and
monologues, implying that the cereal had killed him.

I will say that the cereal tastes really good. But when you try to chew it,
you'll think you have rocks in your mouth. It's that hard! It's also
loaded with calories so a serving is something like 1/4 or 1/3 of a cup.
But that's really all you'll need because even when dampened with milk, your
jaws will be aching before you finish it.

You mustn't let the way I feel about them influence you. Grapenuts
are a healthful cold, dry cereal that is formed into very small
nuggets. History:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grape-Nuts
Pictu
http://tinyurl.com/n3p86bq
It has been around forever -- late 1800s. Grapenuts is too much
on the 'healthy' side for me.

I wouldn't have thought of it either. Nor would I do it.

You always talk about dinner food, Julie. What do you eat for
breakfast? Just wondering.

For the longest time it was just toast. I was making my own bread but then
something started not going right with the bread. I had switched to a
longer pan because the bread was rising too high, then falling. The longer
pan seemed to fix that problem. Then as I reached the bottom of the jar of
yeast, the bread began not rising enough. I chalked that up to old yeast,
even though it wasn't technically all that old. But the new jar didn't do
any better.

Then Costco put instant oatmeal on sale. I have since been eating that for
breakfast and occasionally snacks. Last week I did have some toast with
purchased honey white bread. Daughter and I both had a stomach bug. I had
it first and didn't realize that it was a bug until she came down with the
symptoms. She had nicknamed me "Octo Mom" because whatever it was, caused
you to bloat up so badly that your stomach would look like you were about to
give birth to a lot of babies. It was a very miserable thing. Stomach
pains, headache, chills. And it would come and go. You'd start to feel
better then *wham* you'd get sick again.

Once in a while I'll have some bacon with that but I think we all pretty
much burned ourselves out on bacon. That was one thing that Angela could
easily make when I was down with my foot injury last year so we ate a lot of
it.

I have just never been much of a breakfast eater. Although I do wake up
hungry, I also wake up grouchy and it takes me a good two hours to fully
wake up. Food is the last thing on my mind but if I don't eat, I have
either low blood sugar or my body will do a liver dump and then I'll have
high blood sugar. So it is important for me to eat soon after I get up. So
I just eat something that I can get in my quickly.

I went through a phase in the past where I ate Cinnamon Toast Crunch and
more recently, Grape Nuts flakes. But the last time I tried Cinnamon Toast
Crunch, I hated it so badly I couldn't imagine ever having eaten it to begin
with. I still like the Grape Nuts but can't eat them. And many years ago I
had pancakes for breakfast. I would stay up late at night making them and
freezing them. Also went though a phase of doing the same with muffins.
Whole wheat flour, oats, dried fruits, nuts, applesauce and egg white. I
was on a weight loss diet. And they worked for that but damn, how I hated
those muffins!

I also used to eat cottage cheese or boiled eggs for breakfast along with my
toast but since I can no longer have either of those things, that's a no go.
And I went through a period of time with eating polenta slices with red
sauce and some pine nuts or pumpkin seeds for protein. But I can no longer
have corn so that is out.

I just bought another box of oatmeal so I will stick with that for a while
but I suspect I will soon get burned out on it as oats were never a favorite
food. But then neither was bread and I was starting to grow tired of the
toast.

To respond to the subject line, someone posted this website
with a number of 2 ingredient recipes. I'd say they are more
recipe than serving suggestion, like the Grapenuts.

I love that stuff, I thought I might try that one day, too.

Someone posted the link for me after I made those cocadas I
saw on The Kitchen (coconut/condensed milk). Those were good.

Not you, of course... but what used to be word of mouth is now in
print. There are actually people who have never heard of it and
wouldn't think of trying it until they see it mentioned on the box.

Grape-Nuts will willingly send you a little folder of recipes free. I don't know if they are online or not.
But you are right, they could have put something more enticing on the box.

I think two ingredients can make a recipe...that household queen, Erma whatever, printed a recipe
for Angel Biscuits that had two ingredients: vanilla ice cream and self-rising flour. Sadly, I don't
recall the amounts, but it shouldn't be too difficult to replicate.

I imagine you could substitute melted vanilla ice cream for the heavy
cream. I don't keep self-rising flour in the house, so this two
ingredient recipe would have more ingredients at my house.

I just mix heavy cream with Jiffy biscuit mix. Don't even measure,
just add enough cream to make a sticky dough. Turn it out, cut it out,
bake and serve.

Many do need that kind of guidance. A great percentage of people truly
are morons. How else to do you explain TV programming, for example?

Reality TV is the perfect storm of television programming. The writers
are un-union as are the actors. This means cheap, cheap, cheap. All that
wouldn't matter much if the product wasn't popular. It's the most
wonderful thing.
