Hello and welcome to this thing we’re doing where we help you figure out what you’re gonna put in your mouth this week. Some of these are recipes we’ve tried, some of these are recipes we’re looking forward to trying, all of them are fucking delicious. Tell us what you want to put in your piehole or suggest your own recipes, and we’ll talk about which things we made, which things we loved, and which things have changed us irreversibly as people. Last week, we used our crock pots.
Grains! They’re the greatest. Sometimes all you have is a sad little can of beans or a head of broccoli and grains are what save the day to make it an actual meal. Whether they be rice or quinoa or any of a dozen other grains, they’re affordable, nonperishable, and serve you faithfully as side dishes, in salads, in soups, with proteins, in a box, with a fox, etc. There are approximately eight million ways to eat the grains in your pantry; here are a few ideas to get you started.

I’ve been trying to come up with some clever rhyme based on grains and my name and shit but all I can keep thinking is PUT THE FOOD IN MY MOUTH I WANT TO EAT ALL THE THINGS
i spent a long time trying to make a pun on “grainin’ on that wood” in the title and couldn’t get it to work, so you’re welcome to “janin’ on that wood” if you want it
Beautiful.
grainin’ on that food?
I know food and wood don’t really rhyme but they look rhymey so fuck it
Don’t strain Jane trying to make some grain, that may give you a sprain or drive you(& Holly) insane. Just drive to Main, or Mane, and lay claim to clams and grains, or reign at the beach with some grain salad.
This is so magical
I don’t even know what to do with this. This was awesome. I want to high five your words?! (where is the interrobang when I need it?!)
*hands out a high five*
you had me at “taco-ish”
I was skeptical but I currently have 7 tabs with grain recipes open so thank you for showing me the light!
Suddenly praying that there is some quinoa in the back of my pantry that I’ve somehow completely missed seeing.
your username is very on-topic for these posts
and also my life, lol
This was seriously inspirational! I can’t afford that much quinoa, but amaranth and millet mixed together make a pretty bangin’ substitute!! :D Thanks for this!
Toda muy bueno, pero it’s Monday and you mentioned sad beans in a can so I’m compelled to shill a guaranteed way to make beans smile
and a 2 shakes of powdered garlic.
(I’m sorry I could not resist and the Spanish is in gratitude for Spain being a better parent than France. Again, lo siento)
This reminded me to make stuffed squash, it had chicken sausage and quinoa and kale and goat cheese, my girlfriend thanks you.
The level of structural tactics used from the English language in the title of this article overwhelmed me so much that I can’t even read the rest of it yet.
I assumed my first comment on an article would be a response to something that emotionally triggered me. Here it is, everyone. A well crafted pun at 3am.
Food is looking too yummy.
