(NAPSA) - Looking to broaden your whole grain recipe repertoire? Here are a few suggestions from the team in the Betty Crocker Kitchens, which recently published a relevant new cookbook titled "Betty Crocker Whole Grains: Easy Everyday Recipes."
- Bruschetta - Top lightly toasted whole wheat pita with fat-free hummus, chopped basil and tomatoes, chopped garlic, and lower-fat shredded cheese, and bake at 350! or microwave until hot and cheese is melted.
- Gorp (trail mix) - Mix together whole grain cereal, pretzels, fat-free caramel corn, roasted soybeans, dried cranberries and chocolate chips.
- Stew - Add pearled barley to your favorite stew recipe.
- Tacos - Fill whole wheat or corn tortillas with grilled fish, black beans, diced tomato, shredded lower-fat cheese and chopped cilantro.
- French toast - Add crunch with Total cereal; see recipe below.
Ingredients:
- 2 1/2 cups Whole Grain Total cereal or Total Honey Clusters cereal
- 2 eggs or 1/2 cup fat-free egg product
- 3/4 cup orange juice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 10 slices (1-inch thick) whole grain or regular French bread
Directions:
Place cereal in food-storage plastic bag; seal bag and crush with rolling pin or meat mallet. Place crushed cereal in shallow bowl; set aside. In medium bowl, beat eggs, orange juice and salt with wire whisk until well blended.
Spray griddle or 12-inch skillet with cooking spray; heat to 350!F or over medium heat. Dip each slice of bread into egg mixture, turning to coat both sides; coat with cereal. Place on griddle; cook 4 to 6 minutes, turning once, until golden brown on both sides.
