I just had cinnamon toast last week, only I made it with toasted English muffin, then put the butter, cinnamon and sugar on and melted it together in the microwave😋
Huh🤔...it never crossed my mind to turn them into desserts. But then again, we weren't allowed to have ANY fun cereals so that might explain how I missed out lol.😏 I ate buttered noodles & rice w/parmesan (aka sprinkle cheese)
Favorite childhood desert: pasta + ground walnuts + honey. Aaaand .. now I suddenly very very hungry and know exactly what I'll have for breakfast tomorrow.
We had wide buttered noodles for dinner this week! I like to add shredded rotisserie chicken to mine for some protein but my husband and son like theirs with just butter.
A snack I had as a child and still enjoy today is saltine crackers with butter.
I’m 60+ years old and I still eat buttered egg noodles on the regular. When I was a kid, when my mom would make an exotic meal of Le Choy chow mein, (if you know, you know)she would use the leftover rice the next morning to make rice, warm milk, cinnamon, and sugar for breakfast. Delicious.
Yes! My dad loved milk toast. I just told my husband about this. Make toast and butter it. Lay it in a shallow bowl and pour hot or warm milk over it then sprinkle salt and pepper.
My elderly neighbor said his mom put sugar in it instead of salt and pepper.
Buttered noodles! Oh my God. They were so good! My grandmother used to also make them in a chicken broth with lots of butter added before she served them. I can just taste them!
Right? I feel like if he tried it, he’d agree. It’s just so wild that I hadn’t thought about it in years, and we were talking about childhood foods. Then you post this today. This universe is really something else.
And canned mil on the rice. We still eat that in my family. And I eat buttered wide noodles (No yolks are my fav) with California blend garlic salt. Sometimes I throw in left over tuna.
Second data point (in case you were looking for a trend): I, too, am a retired librarian, but was fed neither of those things as a child. Trying not to feel bitter about the deprivation.

For the rice, we cooked it in milk and added cinnamon and sugar. Essentially a poor families rice pudding…

Looking back I never heard anyone else mention it.
