Whole Grain Recipes

Here are over 12 of the best whole grain recipes and counting. I love to incorporate whole grains, such as oats, wild rice, farro, black rice, and quinoa, into my diet since they provide an extra dose of complex carbs and sustained energy. But the best part – you can serve them as a side dish or main meal for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Go crazy with quinoa with every day Lemon Quinoa or any one of my favorite quinoa recipes. If you want to expand your whole grain pantry, Iโ€™ve got you covered with quick and easy recipes for Instant Pot Wild Rice or my momโ€™s famous Bulgur Pilaf.

Your morning bowl of oatmeal will never be the same once you try my Quinoa Porridge or apple-scented Farro Breakfast Bowl.

Good and good-for-you, youโ€™ll never go wrong with any one of these grain-based recipes.
