Fiber at the Ready!

Tip for meal planning:
Make a BIG batch of a favorite whole-grain to last you the week (for lunches and/or dinners). My favorites: whole-grain pasta, brown rice, and quinoa. It's no harder to make a whole box of spaghetti than it is to make one serving and then I have a fiber-rich base for adding veggies and legumes to make meals throughout the week.
--admittedly-- I am single, so this kind of left-over stocking up is probably a lot easier for me than trying to meal-plan for a family.

    I just discovered my love for quinoa so I'm going to try your suggestion with it first. I already know my love of whole-grain pasta and brown rice. Don't know why I never thought to make in big batches for the week. Thanks for the suggestion!
