Cream of Buckwheat

1 tbsp. butter
Whole milk
Salt and pepper
Frozen corn and peas
Grated parmesan cheese

Follow directions on the box for liquid/buckwheat proportions. Melt the butter in pot, add milk and buckwheat. Bring to a boil and then let simmer for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add salt, pepper, corn and peas. Sprinkle on parmesan cheese.

This is so yummy, creamy and comforting. My son takes this in a thermos to school for lunch.
