One of our favorite things to make is Buddha bowls. Composed of four elements: a grain, vegetables, a protein, and a sauce; they're so simple, nutrient-dense, and very pretty to serve.
I took the recipe from Guy Fieri's new cookbookGuy Fieri Food, and made it vegetarian, tweeking it just a leetle bit. So yummy! If you wanted to, you could substitute the vegetarian chicken with mushrooms,...
I got this recipe with my Mastercook program. Apparently it originally came from Cook's Magazine, June 1990. Bulgur makes a tasty change from rice. I serve this either a leafy green vegetable or a tossed...
From the Kitchn blog. Good, healthy stuff! This salad can be served room temperature or cold. Leftovers will keep refrigerated for up to a week. The original recipe adds 3 oz of goat cheese.
Recipe courtesy of "Hunt's". Seeing as DH and I LOVE pesto, I look for all kinds of ways to use it. This side dish would go great with grilled chicken, fish or steak or punch up a great tomato soup. I...
Adapted from a recipe I found in a store magazine. I had these today and they were yummy, not to mention healthy. Quinoa contains 5g of protein, 3g of fiber and only 1g of sugar per 1/4 cup and its also...
This can be a great meatless meal or it will do nicely as a side dish to any meat. I recommend pearl barley (it is the most common varity) as it cooks up better in a crock pot without becoming gummy and...
Coat the kasha with egg first to preserve texture (not have mushy cereal) Add lots of mushrooms, onions, and pepper for a NY style Kasha. Buckwheat is not related to wheat and is gluten-free.
This barley salad makes tasty use of nutritious ingredients. It's a nice "change of pace" side dish that goes well with just about any kind of meat or can serve as a meatless salad as well. Originally...
Koftas are usually made with meat, but this is a fun variation with bean and wheat, served with Tabouleh. I have had bad luck making "kabobs" out of the mixture as the recipe calls to do, and usually just...
Cooking Light. June 2009. Round out the meal with grilled chicken, lemony hummus, and toasted 100 percent whole-wheat pita wedges. Note time does not include "resting" time.
I just found this recipe! I can almost taste this combination of slow cooked ingredients - and I am drooling! Too bad you all have to wait until the recipe is posted.

I have recently made a concerted effort to introduce more grains into my diet. Both healthful and delicious, this makes a lovely side dish for pork or chicken.
This is a perfect summertime main-course salad. Cool and refreshing, and you can make it up to a day ahead of time, so you don't have to prepare it during the heat of the day. It's also a good buffet dish,...
I have not heard of Quinoa before, but after I discover it, I fell in love with this unique grain. High in protein and fiber and it is very tasty! This recipe uses regular sugar or you can make it sugar...
The original recipe was a non-vegan version I found at another food website. I've made some major overhauls to the original recipe, I feel that I can call it my own. I took the dish to a recent vegan potluck...
The following was cut and pasted from Kitchen Caravan (www.kitchencaravan.com): This is a very healthy vegetarian dish full of Mediterranean flavor. Freekeh is wheat that has been harvested while still...
Tiganites pronounced tee-ghah-NEE-tess. This recipe intrigued me and I hope to try it when I'm no longer on a diet :). These light, crispy medallion-sized treats are a delight served with honey, Greek...
"quick and dirty" recipe for my favorite, "Garbanzo's Fritos." This translates to fried chickpeas although they are not actually fried and the dish is more of a savory stew. The spicy flavors are great...
This dish, with hearty mushrooms and a soupy sauce, is a great way to get whole grain into your diet. It would make a fabulous side dish for a roast beef or roasted chicken. If olive oil is substituted...
A four fork recipe from Gourmet Magazine, May 2003 I have posted as the recipe was written, but I only used one cup of quinoa to 2 cups of water, and cooked in the microwave as I do white rice (5 minutes...
A very festive dish! The flavors blend nicely together. It's a wonderful alternative to rice or couscous. The Quinoa seed is considered a supergrain and an almost perfect protein. You could easily reduce...
Definitely a family favorite! Simple ingredients and easy to make. Serve with gravy or melted butter. A great side dish in any German meal. From the New Ulm, Minnesota Cookbook: "Gemutlicher leben Schwaben...
This is from Venturesome Vegetarian Cooking. It turned out very well, just like meatloaf but better. I made this with red wine since I didn't have any Scotch on hand. The rosemary, nuts, and soy sauce...
Great on their own as an appetizer or served for dinner with salad and mashed potatoes. Watkins meat magic can be ordered online at www.watkinsonline.com
This looks like a yum Thanksgiving side - especially since the grains are so tasty. Biggest thing is to steam the millet tender, adding more liquid if needed after the first 45 minutes coking beneath the...
I found this on a dry salami header-card several years ago and have loved it ever since. It makes a nice appetizer or side dish - definitely worth the effort!
