While drinking my morning coffee, I was thinking about what to have for dinner. Greek, German, and Irish foods were on my mind. I have tons of potatoes, so I can always fall back on Greek potatoes. I looked and looked, nothing came to mind. My sons would not be here for dinner, so a vegetarian dinner would be fine for me. They are the carnivores of the house.
I had some cabbage soup for lunch and still could not decide about dinner!! Since I had a late lunch (around 4pm), I knew dinner would be late, which isn't unusual for me at all. The soup was more filling that I had anticipated, and I decided not to cook dinner. I wanted something though...but what? I scoured the pantry shelves until my eyes hit the breakfast shelf. Yes, my pantry is that organized. Steel cut Irish oats for oatmeal cookies one day, instant Grits (not for this southern girl, but for one of my sons), whole grain bars, pop tarts (a family favorite), natural almonds (for my Greek yougart), and last but not least 2 boxes of cream of wheat. I purchased them as it is used in many Greek and middle eastern recipes. I can't remember the last time I had cream of wheat, so I decided to make a bowl for dinner. I know it would probably be healthier to have them with honey or brown sugar, but I used the old childhood favorite... granulated sugar and butter as topping for my hot cereal. I eat it about once a year and apparently today was the day for my hot cereal for dinner.
