Today I tried something new: cracked wheat. I told you all that I got some in this post, but today I actually broke cut the bag open.
It cooks up just like oatmeal, except the ratio is one part wheat to three parts water, whereas oatmeal is 1/2. I used 1/4 cup wheat and 3/4 cup water on the stovetop.
In the cracked wheat (cooked the whipped oatmeal way) was 1/2 a banana, 1 tsp vanilla extract, a sprinkle of salt and some cinnamon. I topped it with a tablespoon of cashew butter and a sprinkle of cocoa. So good!
My bowl before the cocoa sprinkling:
With cocoa sprinkling:
Don’t mind my Looney Tunes bowl. 
I’ve decided that I really like cracked wheat! It has a nice crunch, which oatmeal lacks. I have a feeling you will be seeing more of it on this blog in the future.
I need to get off and do my school, but I’ll probably be back later tonight with the rest of my meals. Have a great day!
Thanks for reading!

P.S. Check out Gena’s current contest at Choosing Raw. She’s giving away $50 shopping spree to iHerb! So cool!
Cracked wheat looks yummy! You could mix it with some fresh veggies, lemon, parsley and olive oil for a tabouleh salad next time you’re craving veggies in the morning.
No way, that’s an amazing idea! I’m totally gonna do that. Thanks, Heather!
Hmm, never seen cracked wheat in the store. I will have to give it a try when I run out of my normal rolled oats.
Thanks for the lovely comments, girl! I will be replying soon..I am very busy with my senior year…but I DO want to reply…I love talking with other bloggers and it’s great to meet new food bloggers, especially ones who are my age.
