Starting Over -- Eat More Oats and Winter Classes

'Tis the season of new resolve, a potential starting point for changing our ways. We all have a few things we'd like to do less of, and longer list of what we'd like to do more of. One item on our list includes putting more oats on our table, a simple small change with big nutritional rewards.

IN THIS ISSUE, we're getting reacquainted with oats, a whole-grain with many proven health benefits and a natural choice for a good breakfast. You'll also find speedy ways to cook and bake faster by weighing, just like the professionals. Different habits begin in your own kitchen!
