Easy Whole Grain Pantry Recipes
Grain salads like this one take well to meal prepping, as they can last several days in the fridge and taste great both chilled or reheated. It is also adaptable to what you have on hand. No white beans? Try chickpeas. No quinoa? Try wheat berries. 

An Oldways recipe
This recipe is inspired by the leafy green filled pies of the Cyclades, in Greece. Dark leafy greens are great to have on hand in times like these, as they are a bit hardier and can last for awhile in the fridge if stored properly. We use sprouted whole wheat flour because of it's sweet, mild flavor, as Sprouted Grains are April's Whole Grain of the Month .

An Oldways recipe
Let's be honest -- in trying times like these, sometimes you just want some chocolate chip cookies! This classic cookie recipe came from a love of the Original Tollhouse Chocolate Chip Cookie, but improved with whole grains and peanut butter.
