Did you find yourself choosing more Whole Grains? As October comes to an end, you're probably more concerned with your Halloween costume than with your intake of whole grains but I encourage you to continue to include whole grains in your regular intake beyond this month.
Some easy ways to incorporate whole grains into your daily food choices:
- choose whole grain pasta -it's as easy to cook as refined white pasta!
- select whole grain breads when you're having a sandwich, making toast or even whipping up french toast
- try some of the funkier whole grains to see what you think - for example, quinoa, which appears regularly in Dining Services' menus
- snack on healthy popcorn instead of chips or pretzels
- make oatmeal a regular breakfast choice
- when asked, "white or brown rice?" - say "brown"

Happy Halloween Weekend!
