September is Whole Grains Month

The Whole Grains Council celebrates during the month of September.  They remind everyone that eating healthy is not a all or nothing deal.  Every little healthy change in your diet is good.

During September try these little baby steps to getting more whole grain in your diet:

• Serve brown rice instead of potatoes with dinner one night this month.
• Try a new breakfast cereal with at least 16 grams of whole grain per serving.
• Buy some whole-wheat pasta and try it.
• Make pizza for the kids with whole wheat pita as the crust.
• Make our favorite cookies with whole wheat flour next time instead of white.
• Serve hamburgers with whole wheat buns this week.
