Okay, first the popcorn cereal now this. I am going to have to try this; if only because, after I read about popcorn cereal, I could find myself living off popcorn cereal. Is this going to be another thing that I am going to love so much that I won't be able to do anything but eat it at every meal for the next month?

I have heard of it, but never eaten it myself. In the book The Shrewd Christian (kind of similar to a Dave Ramsey book), the author talks about his dad fixing that for dinner when he was little and he loved it!

My Grandma used to fix us milk toast if we didn't feel good. She warmed the milk, but no sugar in ours. Bummer! I need to fix it for my kids sometime, but I can just imagine the looks...still...it brings back great memories. :)

Yup, my mom used to make this for us too. The idea for milk toast goes along well with your post about dried out bread. If you do have dried bread, now you know what to do with it!

never ate it, never heard of anyone who did, but Im from the south, it would seem to me that it would leave you hungry, I like something that would fill you up more, but it sounds sweet.

We used to have milk toast for breakfast all the time. But, my mom buttered the bread, warmed the milk and put salt and pepper on it.

I haven't tried the popcorn cereal (I only have microwave 'movie theater' popcorn in the house right at the moment and I thought it would be gross), but when you posted the photo it reminded me of puffed rice. I bet it is good.

My DH's parents have this all the time. Are you sure you weren't raised Mennonite? LOL. Those of us who married into this milk-based family laugh... the Millers will put ANYTHING into a bowl of milk and call it a meal! We have a good laugh over this issue on vacation with the whole family. They serve various foods in bowls of milk for DINNER too (pasta, rivels, potatoes, breads, fruit)! The way I was raised, the only reason milk should be in a bowl was for breakfast... IF THAT LOL.
Thanks for the fun breakfast idea. My boys will probably love it... adopted or not, they are Mennonite Millers to the core :-)

Things tend to come full circle and trends in eating are no different. Fashions always come back, for instance. I think people are really starting to realize that simple really is better!!

We would eat 'Cinnamon Toast' all the time. Its pretty similar to milk toast. We would make toast butter it, sprinkle it with cinnamon and sugar, then tear it up and eat with milk. Most of the time, we would just eat the cinnamon toast on the way to the bus stop. It is a great to go food.

I think sometimes when we ate it as cereal we wouldn't use butter, but its been so long that I can't remember. We mostly ate it on the way out the door, when you are one of 6 kids mornings are pretty rushed, and sometimes the milk runs low and was saved for the little kids since we got milk at snacktime in school. Do they even have snacktime anymore?

No, I haven't heard of it.... I wonder what your next recipe will be!! ~Tanya - mama to 5 :)

My mom still eats milk toast and really loves it. I did not care for it.........probably since I STILL do not like milk. Go figure. LOL

I mentioned popcorn cereal to my hubby who said absolutely no. I will have some grands with us this summer and I bet they like it.

I am going to try this tonight! It sounds yummy! Has anyone heard of milk and crackers? My husband (age 30) ate this growing up and every once and a while gets a craving for it. Now, I'll try the toast, but there's no way I'm going to eat milk and crackers and like it! I do live in the south.

My mother fed us milk toast when we were ill. Buttered the toast and sprinkled it with sugar and cinnamon then pour on warm milk. Always made us feel better. I am from Kansas.

. . . coffee soup? My mom used to have crackers with coffee poured over them. Neither soggy crackers (especially made so with coffee) nor soggy bread sound very appetizing to me.

I was skeptical, I have a very picky 5 year old despite all my efforts. This morning I offered it to him and he agreed. I cut the toast into squares and put them in a cereal bowl, spinkled with sugar and poured on milk. He tasted, he liked and he ate it all up. Thank you. Now if we could get him that excited about supper.

My mom used to make this for us when we were sick, too!! I loved it as a child...buttered toast, sugar, and warm milk, what's not to love? I've always thought it was a Midwest thing, since I was born in Missouri.

I haven't thought of milk toast in years! My mom used to make this for me in the '50s. I loved it then, but you wouldn't catch me eating it today. I can't stand milk. I love your blog and have a huge amount of admiration for you -- the way you're raising your children, all the cooking you do, the love you have for your husband, housekeeping...

My grandparents loved eating leftover cornbread and buttermilk. Ack. They probably ate it for many meals during the Great Depression, and ever so often my grandpa would get hungry for it and make him some, and make mine with 'sweet milk'- just regular milk.

We're from Texas.

I grew up eating milk toast too! I don't hear about too many people eating it, and I don't tell too many people that I eat it because most people think it sounds gross. The only difference is we salted ours. It was toast with butter, and milk poured over, and then salted. Yum! I still crave it once in awhile but I can't eat it on a regular basis because I get hungry (even when I use whole wheat bread) within a couple hours after eating it. However, I like it better with white bread.
