Happy Whole Grain Sampling Day! Yes, it’s that time of year again (the first Wednesday in April) when we all take a moment to appreciate the chewy, nutty, heart-healthy deliciousness that is the whole grain.
Wondering what the heck a whole grain is? Check out my post from last year’s Whole Grain Sampling Day: “So, what’s whole grain anyway?”
Incorporating whole grains into your diet is easy. I like to cook a big batch of steel-cut oats on Sunday, and dish it out into single-serve portions for whole-grain grab-and-go breakfasts throughout the week. Another quick option is tossing cooked grains on top of your lunch-time salad (quinoa is my salad-topping grain of choice).
The Whole Grains Council and Oldways have generously offered to provide one reader with a goodie box chock full of whole grain products, including:

Thank you for the fabulous giveaway!
Finding that optimal dietary balance can be such a challenge, especially since everyone is different when it comes to that type of thing. It's something that I have been working at for years too-- not always successfully. It actually wasn't until college that I started incorporating more whole grains into my regular diet. Nowadays, it's hard for me to remember that time when I wasn't enjoying some amazing whole grain pastas or breads.
