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. N. |

I think Wheaties and all those flakey wakey cereals are crap, they are like eating mystery meat, you've really no idea what's in it. This is my favorite cereal, I can see what's in it, much better than any of those way over priced flakey wakey kiddie cereals, and I do save buying it by the four 40 oz bags case, keep the extras in my basement fridge... very good with cinnamon and a little honey or dark brown sugar, makes a great lunch or dinner too... I also add some to bran muffins. It's dense so takes up much less space than that mostly air kiddie cereal... sometimes I'll mix a cup with two cups of milk and leave it in the fridge over night, by morning it's a delicious cold porridge... it's good hot too: http://tinyurl.com/mzsmb5s http://www.amazon.com/Bobs-Red-Mill-...sin=B000EDDS6Q |

So maybe the hot milk at night really does help to sleep? I don't know, it just sounds odd to me. :-O I've never drank hot milk. G. |

For me, ice cold milk on Wheaties where the box was refridgerated and also the bowl. Keeps it all very cold while eating. G. |

I have it on hot and cold cereal and steamed with espresso, but I never drink it straight. If I was really thirsty and went to the fridge for something to drink and there was nothing other than milk there would be nothing in the fridge to drink. |

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. |

I find it works most of the time unless I have something troubling on my mind. I agree tho. With a meal or a nice brownie, it's gotta be ice cold. |

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. |

Grape it Bread is even better than GN Custard.
I sprinkle a small amount of Grape-Nuts in the bottom of a Custard Pie crust before Pouring in the filling. They rise to the top and add some texture. N. |

A number of years ago I was talking with a friend who loves it and commented that I didn't think it tasted as good as it used to. He agreed and said it was because they changed the recipe for the Canadian market, but the US used the original version. He makes several trips area across the border for shopping and, among other things, buys a case or two of Grape Nuts. |
