Prep takes 10 minutes and cooking takes 15 minutes. The smoky taste of freekeh and grilled veggies mix well. This dish is high in protein and fiber. You may double the batch for lunch tomorrow.
Pro Tip: Keep extra sauce in the fridge to add a zing later.

Prep takes 10 minutes and cooking takes 20 minutes. Top your bowl with avocado slices and cilantro. This recipe works well for a chilled evening and it freezes for months.
Note: Freezing keeps the flavors intact.

These tenders are crisp and kid-friendly. They use Bob’s Red Mill Almond Flour for a light coat. Dip chicken tenders in beaten eggs and then roll in the almond flour.
Prep takes 5 minutes and cooking takes 25 minutes in the oven. Serve them with honey mustard or barbecue sauce. Kids love to help with the coating, which adds joy to the kitchen.
Fun Fact: This dish has only five ingredients and pure savory goodness.

Make a flatbread that is crisp and chewy. Use Bob’s Red Mill Artisan Bread Flour for the dough. Sprinkle cooked and crumbled bacon and goat cheese on top. Add mixed greens at the end.
Prep takes 10 minutes and baking takes 15 minutes. If you are short on time, use ready-made pizza dough. Cut the flatbread into bite-size squares for an easy snack or appetizer.
Quick Win: Pre-bake a flatbread and top it with fresh greens later.
Whole Grain Breakfast Favorites
Overnight Oats with Cherry-Chia Compote
Enjoy a creamy breakfast without a morning rush. Combine Bob’s Red Mill Old Fashioned Rolled Oats with one cup of yogurt. Layer frozen cherries, two tablespoons each of chia and pumpkin seeds, and a teaspoon of cinnamon.
Mix the ingredients in a jar and chill overnight. In the morning, you get a bowl full of balanced protein and fiber. You can swap cherries for other fruits based on your mood.
I learned this the hard way: Always stir well before eating.
Honey Graham Waffles with Caramelized Pears
These waffles feel like a warm hug. Use Bob’s Red Mill Graham Flour for a nutty taste. Mix in a quarter cup of honey and one and a half cups of buttermilk. Top the waffles with two sliced pears that are lightly caramelized.

Chef Tip: Caramelize pears in a light pan to keep them soft.

Cookies that serve as a breakfast boost are fun to make. Mix two cups of Bob’s Red Mill Quick Cooking Oats with half a cup of nut butter. Use one mashed banana and a quarter cup of maple syrup. Add mix-ins like chocolate chips or dried fruit.
Prep takes 10 minutes and baking takes 12 minutes. For a chewier cookie, take them out two minutes early. Store the cookies in an airtight container for up to five days.

Global-Inspired Grain Bowls & Salads

Fun Fact: The bright mint and lemon lift the smoky note of freekeh.
Savory Spring Farro Porridge
A warm bowl of farro can brighten your day. Use one cup of Bob’s Red Mill Farro. Simmer it in three cups of vegetable broth. Stir in spring greens such as asparagus or spinach. Add a quarter cup of Parmesan cheese as it simmers, and top with a poached egg if you like.

Quick Win: Serve cold patties with a drizzle of olive oil for extra zest.
Instant Pot Chana Masala
This dish brings a taste of India to your table. Use Bob’s Red Mill Garbanzo Beans for a hearty base. Soak the beans if you prefer a softer bite. In an Instant Pot, combine the beans with a spiced tomato gravy. Add garlic, ginger, cumin, and a pinch of garam masala.
Prep takes 10 minutes and cooking takes 20 minutes on high pressure. Stir half of the garam masala into the pot and add the rest before serving. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve over rice.
I learned this the hard way: Make sure your Instant Pot seal is tight before pressure cooking.
