Saturday is September 1st which means whole grains month! What, this isn’t on your calendar? Hopefully you already follow the recommendation to make half your grains whole (especially if you read my previous post about whole grains); however if you don’t, this is the perfect opportunity to start incorporating more whole grains into your diet.

Since I already eat quite a few whole grains, I’ve decided to try a little different challenge for myself this month. I’m going to seek out some different grains that I haven’t yet tried, and also try to use some of my old favorites in some new ways. I already started this four weeks ago when I started having quinoa for breakfast. I am still going strong with my breakfast quinoa, but I just might come up with a different grain I like as much, if not better!

Stay tuned for more whole grains all month long. If you are interested in finding some ideas to celebrate whole grains month, head on over to the Whole Grains Council website.
