Lazy Food Friday: Cream of Buckwheat

Behold, the power of BUCKWHEAT!!!!

Growing up in our household meant eating a lot of collard greens, corn bread, and proper down-south buttery gut-attack GRITS!  I came across this box of Cream of Buckwheat at our area Sprouts market and thought it sounded like an interesting thing to try.  It's definitely more nutrient dense than your average hominy grits and is really fun to say.  BUCKwheat.  *squee*

Preparation is easy:  Boil 1.25 cup water.  Throw in .25 cup BUCKwheat.  Reduce to low heat, allow to simmer (stirring often) for 10 minutes.  Put in a pat of Earth Balance, salt, pepper, CHOWDOWN!!!!

Perfect for a lazy food Friday!  It's simple to prepare, tasty, and even friendly to our gluten intolerant friends out there.  I give this two eager thumbs up!
