Two recipes

Have I mentioned before that I have a Real Simple habit? Yes, the magazine is neither real nor simple, but it is my guilty pleasure and sometimes even has some good things. Like this month's collection of whole-grain recipes. We've tried two this week and I'm very happy with the way they've turned out. My favorite was the Zucchini with Quinoa Suffing and Clint's favorite is Wheat Berry Salad with Bacon. Both will be added to our rotation.

The weather this week has been trying to transition into fall--cool, damp mornings with dryer, warmer afternoons. These grain recipes, in my mind, were a perfect complement to the weather. The grains hinting at cold-weather comfort food without being too heavy for days that still get over 80 degrees.
