8 Grain Mix
"This is a mix of grains that I make in bulk quantities to use as a replacement for rice or as a flavorful addition to jasmine or basmati rice. With all due respect, this is based on a recipe from the Medicine restaurant in San Francisco. Also great for sushi!"

I wondered how I would like all my favorite grains used all at once and I am wowed at the result! I really like this simple and delicious boost to basmati rice. I wasn't sure about the spelt so I used spelt flour; I'll have to check and see if it comes in a grain form -- silly me! Thanks, Michelle Minicucci, for a new pantry staple. Made for Bargain Basement Tag Game.

I joined Recipezaar, because guess why - I can't cook!! I look for recipes often on the "magic box" and I haven't found a site yet to compare with the 'Zaar. Everyone seems to get along like a family here and I feel comfortable trying everyone's unique recipes and looking for tips on how to do the actual cooking thing. I am trying to learn from you all. I don't have that bone or gland in my body that helps decide what flavor is missing from a dish. I usually have a question mark over my head when preparing my meals.
