6. Choose brown rice and whole-wheat or blended pasta. Cook up a batch of brown rice and keep it in your refrigerator for 4-5 day and eat on it throughout the week. If time is an issue, there are ready brown rice products. Try whole-grain pasta, or some of the blended pastas made with a mix of whole and refined grains. Don't be put off by the dark color of whole-grain pasta. It becomes much lighter when it is cooked.

7. Experiment with different grains. Visit your local health food market and try your hand at some of the less-familiar whole grains available. Try risottos, pilafs, whole-grain salads, and other grain dishes made with brown rice, millet, quinoa, or sorghum. Add uncooked oats to meatloaf or stir oats into yogurt for crunch and added nutrition.

8. Start your kids off right. Expose your kids to whole grains at an early age. For older kids, try the white whole-wheat flour, and incorporate whole grains into foods that have other flavors such as French toast. Serve burgers on whole-grain buns or brown rice with veggies. Add whole grains to soups or dishes like shrimp Creole. Try whole-wheat pitas as crusts for make-your-own individual pizzas.
