Like no other “holiday”, it’s been our experience that people have strong opinions regarding Valentine’s Day. Some love it and relish in the idea of cards and conversation hearts while others stress about it, feeling that if they don’t have that special someone to make googley eyes at on February 14th, then they’ve somehow failed in life. Then there are those that would prefer to ignore it all together and consider it just another day.

Earlier this month, we provided some suggestions on how to get the New Year off to a good and healthy start. One piece of advice on the list of suggestions was to make an attempt to incorporate more whole grains into the diet, certainly something that sounds admirable on paper but unless you know what that means and how to go about it, it’s left as just another resolution and not something that you’re actually going to do. Some of you may already be hip to grains and we hope that you’ll keep reading on, or if nothing else, at least pass on the message to your grain-phobe friends.
