Whole-Wheat Farina with Berry Swirl
A bright berry sauce swirled into creamy whole-wheat cereal is a sublime alternative to oatmeal. Serve this comforting dish with a splash of milk and a sprinkle of turbinado sugar, if you like. If you don’t have fresh berries, use thawed frozen ones. For the most nutrition and best texture and flavor, choose stone-ground, organic farina over processed or instant cereal.
