  I replace things like pasta, potatoes and white rice with grains. I've discovered interesting ones like rye and farro and some others that work well.

  I try not to consider it an optional item. In other words, most suppers include grains in either the salad or main course – it's expected by the family!

  I got a bread maker bad in 2007 and have been making whole grain wheat bread ever since. I have also switched to whole grain wheat pasta and eat the oat cereals when I eat cereal. Grew up on hot oatmeal and started my grandkids on it when they lived with me. Also love the wheat crackers.

  I cook up a cup each of 3 or 4 different grains every couple of weeks in my pressure cooker (so fast), freeze 1/2 c. of each, and blend the rest. I use this "base" for different grain dishes or bowls all week. My husband and I love having this mix around.
