Greek Veggie Wrap
Whole wheat tortillas are super versatile and I love to use them to make wraps (a nice alternative to the regular old sandwich). You can throw any combination of ingredients into a wrap – grilled chicken, avocado, lettuce and salsa for a Mexican wrap; turkey, tomato and Swiss cheese for a traditional wrap; or my

Spinach and Tomato Sunrise Sandwich
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day…so in addition to granola, I thought I would post another whole grain breakfast recipe, but this time, from the savory side.
