Apple Tuna Sandwiches

My husband and his buddies love to pack these tasty sandwiches when they go on fishing trips. The tangy tuna salad gets fun flavor from sweet pickle relish and lots of crunch from apples, celery and walnuts. The satisfying sandwiches are a complete meal in themselves. -Ivy Eresmas, Dade City, Florida

1/3 cup fat-free or regular mayonnaise

1/4 cup finely chopped celery

1/4 cup finely chopped walnuts

2 tablespoons finely chopped onion

1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish

1 teaspoon sugar

Snow Pea Asparagus Stir Fry

Add a taste of the Orient to your menu with Joy Beck’s snappy side or even main dish. She accents the veggies with the vibrant flavor of ginger, making it a favorite in her Cincinnati, Ohio home. This is a "Cooking for Two" recipe, so you will have to adjust it for larger families. You could easily add 1/2 cup cubed cooked chicken to this recipe to turn it into a wonderful main dish.

Apple Pie Tarts

I find that rolling dough into balls and pressing them into mini tart pans is a tedious job. Luckily, I discovered that I can roll the dough flat, cut out small circles and quickly press them into the pans like tiny pie crusts. Recently I made 100 tart shells in 20 minutes. —Claire A., Plantation, Florida

1 sheet refrigerated pie pastry

1 tablespoon sugar

Dash ground cinnamon

Seven Whole Grains Plus Sesame

Seven Whole Grains Plus Sesame = A Complete Protein!

Buckwheat

Hearty in flavor and a good source of fiber, buckwheat is actually a seed-like fruit, closely related to rhubarb.

Rye

A staple grain made popular in medieval times, rye was chosen for its distinct flavor when combined with other whole grains.

Triticale (trit-a-kay-lee)

A natural cross between durum wheat and rye, this unique grain is higher in protein and more robust than its parents.

What Is Spelt?

More Than Superior Taste
Spelt is more than just a nutritious product. The whole grain flour is the perfect answer for those people who want to eat good, tasty whole grain products. Organic, unbleached spelt flour is the same grain with most of the bran (fiber) removed, and nothing added.
