HEALTHY LIFESTYLE TIPS | WHOLE GRAIN RECIPES | CALENDAR OF EVENTS
SALES AND SPECIALS

This year March winds bring two things - St Patrick's Day and Easter. There are many celebrations for these events which typically mean lots of food and goodies. But this is no time for us to stray from the Healthy Heart lifestyle tips we learned in our February newsletter.

A diet of whole grains, in addition to lowering your risk or heart disease, has also been shown to be good for our waistline. A new study published by the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition shows that people following a weight loss program incorporating whole grain flours & cereals lost more body fat from the abdominal area that those who ate refined foods like white flour and rice.

The War Eagle Mill family is proud to offer the finest organic stone ground whole grain products. We produce over thirty flours, meals and mixes that offer families healthy alternatives to the over-processed, chemically treated foods you find on most supermarket shelves.

Please take a moment to browse our online store and experience these quality products for yourself. Get started with these whole grain recipes!

Whole Wheat Irish Soda Bread

This quick bread is a very traditional part of any St Patrick's Day Celebration. The addition of whole grain flour to the dough adds flavor and fiber.

Ingredients

3 cps War Eagle Wholegrain White Wheat Flour
1 cp War Eagle Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
1 Tbs salt
1 tsp baking soda
¾ tsp non-aluminum baking powder
1 ½ to 2 cps buttermilk

Directions

Combine dry ingredients & mix thoroughly to distribute soda and baking powder. Add enough buttermilk to form a soft dough. Knead on a lightly floured board for 2 - 3 minutes until smooth.

Form dough into an 8" round loaf and place on greased or parchment lined cookie sheet. Using a sharp, floured knife, cut a cross on the top of the loaf. Bake in a preheated 375° oven for 35-40 minutes or until brown (should sound hollow when tapped). Let cool completely before slicing.

Easter Bunny Muffins

This combination of whole grains, carrots, raisins and seeds is a tasty and healthy treat. Hop on out of bed on Easter morning to bake up a batch for you and your family!

½ cp skim milk
¾ cp grated carrot

Directions
