Summer is here and you are bound to end up cooking some food of some
kind for some event/reason. For those of you who end up cooking for
something because you allowed yourself to get roped into it, here is a
pretty simple meal that tastes good and looks great.
Food
for Life Baking Company sent me a few of their products including
Sprouted Whole Grain Penne Pasta, Almond Sprouted Whole Grain Cereal and
Cinnamon Raisin Whole Grain Cereal.
As mentioned above
the simple meal I prepared is just pasta with a few basic ingredients
added in. I cooked the Sprouted Grain Penne Pasta and added some baby
spinach once the pasta was pretty much finished cooking. FYI baby
spinach cooks down pretty fast. I also added in Feta Cheese and
tomatoes. I don't know if there is an ideal time to add the Feta and
tomatoes so you may want to search around and see what you can find as
to preparing pasta dishes.
The link below has pictures
that can give you an idea of what these ingredients look like in case
you have never eaten or cooked with them before.

I
am learning as I go about sprouted grains. I added some of the Cinnamon
Raisin Whole Grain Cereal to a yogurt snack and I have also had it as a
snack by itself. I've had the Almond Sprouted Whole Grain Cereal as a
snack by itself as well.
If you are interested in a
self guided/self-paced introduction to Sprouted Grain they have a
resource on their website that gives you information about the benefits
as well as the available Food For Life products that include sprouted
grain as an ingredient. I like that it is detailed and it seems to me
that these products would be good for anyone who has food sensitivities
or is preparing meals for someone who does. Their website says that
sprouting produces Vitamin C, I wonder if sprouted grain products would
be a good source of Vitamin C for people who have a citrus allergy. (* I

Food
For Life also has a section on their website that lists out the Low
Glycemic and Diabetic Friendly offerings. I'm impressed that they
obviously took a lot of time to address the potential concerns of a wide
variety of customers. Very inclusive.
