Recently, the weather has been nice enough for backyard dinners. I’m fortunate enough to live in an apartment with a truly amazing backyard, complete with an orange tree and patio furniture—perfect for dinners outside. It’s also the busiest few weeks of my school year, as I frantically finish the end of the school business. http://amy-estes.com/write/bbq-chicken-quinoa-salad/

17 Healthy Grains You’ve Never Heard Of

http://greatist.com/health/17-healthy-grains-you%E2%80%99ve-never-heard For many, whole grains are an important part of a healthy diet. Consuming at least three servings of whole grains per day (one serving is a ½ cup of cooked grains like oatmeal or rice, or one slice of bread) can reduce the risk of some chronic health conditions like cardiovascular disease, type II diabetes, and certain cancers . One study also showed that eating whole grains in place of refined grains can reduce potentially dangerous excess abdominal fat , buildup that can raise blood pressure and cholesterol levels, and even cause insulin resistance (potentially leading to diabetes) .
