Whole Grains

There’s nothing like a bowl of steaming hot cereal drizzled with maple syrup to knock the chill out of a wintry morning, but whole grain cereals are more than a traditional breakfast food. They’re also the perfect, high fibre addition to muffins, pancakes, breads and rolls.

Eating several servings daily is one of the best dietary strategies for weight loss and the prevention of cancer, heart disease, and diabetes.

Here’s my family’s favourite corn meal muffin recipe. Quick and easy to make, they’re an irresistible complement to soups, stews, salads, and chili.
