 Ossie-Sharon 11 years ago | A couple of suggestions: you can limit the grains to those that are quicker-cooking, i.e. oats and even something not in the receipe, such as amaranth. You can also pre-cook some of the grains ahead of time and freeze them in usable portions so you can just pop some in your bowl to warm up with the oatmeal. |
 Phyllisd 11 years ago | All grain breakfast with apples. Like I’ve said I have a hard time planning ahead. any suggestions? |
| Ossie-Sharon 11 years ago | Phyllis, which recipe was it that required a 2-hour wait? I will look into it. Thanks! |
| Phyllisd 11 years ago | Really weird trying to get started. I’m very bad at meal planning and writing things down. I have a husband who made a comment that we need to eat better foods. How do I start planning meals for two, especially when he works graveyard shift and I’m up during the day. Also saw a recipe that calls for something to sit for two hours before serving. It was for breakfast. I have a hard enough time eating breakfast much less waiting two hours for something. This needs to be a lot easier than you advertise. |
 Leonard 11 years ago | Yep. =) Patti, we talked some more about SWG in “What is?” topic: What is ?
You can learn a bit more about it there – you’ll see that Ossie gave some useful facts about SWG foods. Cheers!

| Ossie-Sharon 11 years ago | SWG means “sprouted whole grain” |
| Ossie-Sharon 11 years ago | Thanks for the heads-up. We will forward this issue to our technicians. As for the menus you have received, 1/2 cup “rye” is equivalent to a slice of bread here (any recommended 100% whole grain bread). What I suggest is to divide up those carbs with the other meal (cream cheese, yogurt, almond milk), i.e. cream cheese, bread, and almond milk and then yogurt and bread. I would also add a fruit or vegetable serving to each meal.
Again, thanks for the input. |
 Nitahand 11 years ago | Just starting but the menu planner seems a little weird. After choosing the foods I ‘like’, (twice) the menues that come up are suspect. You’ve got me eating a meal made up of cream cheese, yogurt and almond milk. And what about 1 1/2 cups of rye for lunch. Rye what? bread, raw grain, cereal?? Also, where is the shopping list that was advertised? |
| Ossie-Sharon 11 years ago | Once you have joined, you will have access to the applications and guides, all providing instructions to building a menu through the menu-planner – very step by step. In addition, there are articles that provide insight on how to choose the best foods and activities. The fact that you joined the forum is a good start, too. |
