$3ADDP: Grains, the Long and Short of It All

Carbs definitely get a bad wrap these days. Partaking in low carb diets had me convinced that Carbs really do make you fat. Whole grain carbs in moderation, however, do no such thing. If you're going to burn it all off, it doesn't really matter.

In this case of this project, grains are going to be vital to getting the most bang for the buck.

In reading the $1 a Day Diet Project, I noticed that most of their meals consisted of at least one of the following grain products: homemade bread, polenta, rice, tortillas, oatmeal and the vegetable starch that I consider part of this grainy group, potatoes.

Here is my shopping list for grains, luckily, they keep in the pantry:

1. Whole Wheat Flour.
2. Rapid Rise Yeast.
3. Bread Flour.
4. Honey.
5. Whole Grain Polenta.
6. Brown Rice.
7. Bulgar Wheat.
8. Whole Wheat Couscous.
9. Vegetable Oil.
10. Oatmeal.
11. Salt.
12. Baking Soda.

Next up I'll post the recipes related to the whole grain bread, polenta and whole grain tortillas.
