My favorite whole grain meal includes Quinoa, which is mixed with marinated chicken breasts, feta cheese, and cherry tomatoes. I serve the dish warm, and to be slightly indulgent I also serve up whole crusty wheat garlic bread.

I make a pasta dish that everybody loves – I get so many compliments. Chop veggies quite small (I use broccoli & cauliflower, but you can also use green/yellow zucchini or asparagus. Then I sauté the vegetables until they are at whatever consistency you like. My family like them really cooed to almost mushy! I mix the veggies with the pasta & then I make a sauce using powdered ginger with teriyaki sauce. It’s always a big hit & it also gets vegetables into finicky eaters.

I really enjoy making a heart-healthy whole grain, veggie rich lasagna for my family. It contains Barilla Whole Grain Lasagna Noodles, a variety of veggies, both mozzeralla and ricotta cheeses, medium-hot chicken sausage and spaghetti sauce (I make my own). Yum!
