Whole Grain

Juliana | January 31, 2009

We’ve been told that whole grain foods are very healthy. This is because they have more fibers and nutrients. However, labels can be very misleading. The ingredients list sometimes are deceiving.

I’m posting my revised recipe highlighting the changes on the [...]
