Farina's Not Just for Breakfast! image

A great healthy side dish! This I posted because I was looking for ways to get high Iron foods into my diet. Farina is a cereal's of the high iron.Don't believe me just read the labels. (This would also be good made in a greased pie pan and served as a quiche.)Just bake till firm and browned and bubbly.
