War time recipe booklet from General Foods 1943

It begins with an illustration of Victorianna and a letter to Uncle Sam from his 'Niece' pledging to do her best to get dinner on the table despite food shortages.

This was a fun read and included many war time tips to make meat, eggs and sugar stretch further.

It suggests adding cereals like grapenuts or bran flakes to tamales, hamburgers, meatloaf, casseroles, breads and pancakes. And, actually the pancakes would be very good with fruity or chocolate cereal.

It also features cake recipes with low or no sugar, subbing all the sugar for honey and or half for log cabin syrup.

The cakes and cookies feature one egg only and have a section on rendering your own chicken fat to sub for shortening.

The lunches and dinners encourage using less meat to really stretch those war time rations.

Another tip is mixing butter for sandwiches with gelatine to make it last longer, but concedes it is not meant to be cooked with.

Here are two featured recipes, one stretching a small amount of sausage with Grape-Nuts and the other a Jell-O dessert featuring postum.

I had not yet heard of postum and was grateful for the following passage explaining its usage. You can apparently still purchase this.

All in all a great little booklet and a fascinating glimpse into recipes and rationing during WW2.

Felt like using dalle2 to mess up some brands. Here's breakfast cereals!

"A box of lucky charms cereal on a grocery store shelf"

"A box of Froot Loops on a grocery store shelf"

"A box of frosted flakes cereal on a grocery store shelf"

They get more cursed from here.

how can there possibly be a way to make grape nuts taste good?

Ok, here's the thing. Grape Nuts taste great. Most people, as far as I can tell, are just eating them in a non-ideal way. Granted, I like Grape Nuts eaten cold, as long as you give them a minute or two for the milk to soak in. However, they're best eaten hot, and are far superior to pretty much any of the other hot-grain-product-in-a-bowl breakfasts except maybe baked oatmeal (in addition to already being the superior box cereal).

With that in mind, here's how to enjoy Grape Nuts in the best way I know how.

Wake up on a dark winter morning before work, a morning cold enough that even you, a morning person, don't really want to get out of bed.

Wonder if "sick of the cold" counts as being sick.

Remember that there are Grape Nuts open downstairs and decide that getting up is ok, actually.

Downstairs, acquire Grape Nuts, milk, and a microwave-safe bowl.

Put your desired amount of Grape Nuts in the bowl.

Pour milk into the bowl. You'll need to experiment a few times to figure out your preferred Grape Nuts-to-milk ratio. Some people put in enough to cover the cereal so you have floating pieces. I like just enough milk that you start to see it amid the Grape Nuts, but not enough to fully cover them.

Put your bowl in the microwave and heat for about a minute. Again, you'll need to experiment here to figure out what length of time gives you the results you like best. I tend to heat mine for a little less than a minute because I like to still have a little cronch.

Don't take your eyes off of it. If you look away, it'll boil over and make a mess, and then your morning will be decidedly less good.

Remove the bowl from the microwave. Careful, it may be hot.

Let cool just long enough to say thank you, God, for this food or your mealtime prayer of choice.

Dig in. Discover that the hot milk has softened the cereal so it becomes pleasantly textured, but not too hard, and the heat has also brought forth a delicious nutty, slightly molasses-y flavor (which was always there, but wasn't as pronounced before).

Finish the bowl. You're warm now, and your stomach is full, but not so full that you can't consider your taste buds' suggestion that another bowl would be a good idea. (Note: You can listen to them, but be aware that with Grape Nuts, like grilled cheese, the second in one sitting is never as good as the first.)

Steps 1–3 are optional — I can and will eat hot Grape Nuts in summer if I can get them — but I genuinely have cheered myself up on some cold weekday mornings by remembering that I'm having Grape Nuts for breakfast. I'm aware this makes me sound like a character in a cereal commercial, and I genuinely don't care.

If you've already tried Grape Nuts hot and you still don't like them, I recommend testing different amounts of milk and different lengths of microwaving. On the other hand, if you just flat out don't like the flavor . . . I'm sorry. Your life is sad and tragic, but it is the one you must live, and so you'll have to make the most of it.
