Cereals
Cereals are valuable and inexpensive food as they furnish energy at a low cost. Cereal mush or other cereal dishes with milk for breakfast furnishes a meal of excellent food value. It is a good plan to have several different kinds of cereal preparations on hand so that there may be a change from day to day. Corn and oat preparations furnish particularly good winter foods. Corn meal, oatmeal, rice and hominy grits are cheaper than the ready-to-eat breakfast foods. Cereals are rich in starches and should be thoroughly cooked.
