Recipe for Morning Cream of Wheat with Raisins and Coconut

Breakfast A Comforting Classic

Made from whole wheat semolina, Cream of Wheat was once THE breakfast dish, more popular than oatmeal or packaged cereals. Though not as well known as it once was, it’s well worth reviving considering how easy it is to make and how delicious the result can be. Not to mention how good it is for you. High in vitamin D, iron and calcium, a bowl of morning farina can be the basis for a wide variety of breakfast flavors, and in this recipe the addition of raisins, cinnamon and brown sugar bring an almost pie-like savor to the table. Coconut flakes add texture and interest.
