  Actually, I don't do a very good job at that and would like to do better.

• kayanelson  on  October 12, 2016

  I also don't do a very good job at incorporating grains. I'm starting to use farro and barley a little bit more but haven't done much with quinoa or other grains.

• gjelizabeth  on  October 12, 2016

  Rather than increase the amount of grains I look to increasing the quality of grains I eat, i.e. organic whole grains rather than conventionally-farmed refined grains.

• fjain  on  October 12, 2016

  My pantry reflects a conscious decision to eat whole grains. Dinner is usually a grain (rice, farrow, whatever) + a vegetable dish, or maybe a soup/casserole that incorporates both. And cheese 🙂

• meggan  on  October 12, 2016

  Grain salads instead of leaf based salads.

• vinochic  on  October 12, 2016

  whole grain sourdough breads, in salads, for breakfast rather than oatmeal…

• alirov  on  October 12, 2016

  I've been exploring and trying out new grains in my supermarkets bulk food section. I try something new every week or so!

• Siegal  on  October 12, 2016

  I try to incorporate more grains by baking with them!

• allthatsleftarethecrumbs  on  October 12, 2016

  I've fallen off the wagon lately but I was trying to start the days with oatmeal.

• ccav  on  October 13, 2016

  I make big batches of whole grains on the weekend and use them as a base for work lunches or dinners during the week.
  Current favorites are whole oat groats and rye berries.

• Larkspur  on  October 13, 2016

  I use whole grains in one pot meals–for instance a chicken and rice dish that does not call for precooked rice–the rice cooks with all the other ingredients in the oven.

• jd5761  on  October 13, 2016

  I tend to "bulk out" my meals with grains but I don't think I show much imagination. Breakfast is still where I use most grains.

• eliza  on  October 13, 2016

  I use a variety of grains like farro, barley, brown rice, bulgur and quinoa. I keep them in the freezer in small portions.

• tennyogirl  on  October 13, 2016

  I eat popcorn for a snack

• sgump  on  October 13, 2016

  I remain amazed at the versatility of humble oatmeal (sweet, savory, and everything in between)–and trust that other grains would respond favourably to a similar continuum.

• tui  on  October 13, 2016

  I am exploring adding more grains to our meals, but feel I have long way to go. So far I have mostly been incorporating grains such as buckwheat into vegetable/salad style dishes.

• sarahawker  on  October 14, 2016

  I need to change the way I shop to incorporate more grains. Anything beyond rice is expensive @ the grocery store but there is a farmers market where they are affordable, but I do need to make it a point to go there.

• PennyG  on  October 14, 2016

  I mix yogurt with muesli almost every day for breakfast.

• ydixon57  on  October 14, 2016

  I use them in place of my usual starchy sides of potatoes and rice and as the base of main course salads.

• jenniesb  on  October 17, 2016

  I bought a pressure cooker last year which has been a game-changer in terms of incorporating more grains into my diet. I can now cook up grains in no time and I love that it's so easy to make multi-grain salads, which I eat a lot.

• Orielle  on  October 17, 2016

  I try to switch out pasta and potatoes for grains where possible. Big favourites are pearl barley, freekeh and bulgur wheat.

• Emily Hope  on  October 19, 2016

  I soak my steel-cut oatmeal overnight so it only needs a few minutes to finish cooking in the morning.

• heatherknape  on  October 19, 2016

  I try to incorporate whole grains into dinner as often as possible, with quinoa, brown rice, barley, farro, cornmeal and grits. Are cornmeal and grits considered whole grains? It's challenging to find something my kids will eat, so I'm still searching for success. Can't wait to try out this new cookbook!

• soopsoop  on  October 19, 2016

  I've started eating a lot of quinoa, and trying to mix up the starches in my diet … brown rice, quinoa, couscous …

• sharifah  on  October 22, 2016

  Hopefully I'll win this book and I can learn to incorporate more grains in my diet 🙂

• anightowl  on  October 22, 2016

  I keep lots of different grains on hand, everything from tiny teff and kaniwa, to sturdy barley and millet, and several varieties of rice. Cooking all of them perfectly is painless with a rice cooker.

• pinkchampies  on  October 22, 2016

  I grind a preferred grain and use instead of breadcrumbs in meatballs, for schnitzels, etc. Freekah is favourite which adds great flavour too. My resistant husband is none the wiser.

• cocecitycook  on  October 22, 2016

  Oatmeal for breakfast and multivitamin sourdough bread

• jr0717  on  October 22, 2016

  I always try to keep prepared grains on hand – quinoa made in batches in the fridge, popcorn and granola pre-portioned in the pantry, and grain-bowl inspiration pinned and at the ready for quick dinners!

• hae1123  on  October 22, 2016

  I try to incorporate in salads or yogurt I eat as a snack. Instead of noodles, I make grains to eat with chicken or beef as well.

• Lafauvette  on  October 22, 2016

  I like to add bulgur to salads, chili, and other dishes. It cooks in about 10-15 minutes and adds a nice hefty and nuttiness to dishes.

• Ingmarisalex  on  October 22, 2016
