Carbohydrates do so much for us. For all that, they deserve a month of love. What do you think? I declare October to be Hug a Carb month! Now go love you some carbs!

Great idea! One really shouldn’t eliminate carbs (or protein and fat, that is) from one’s diet. They’re what all delicious foods are made of, really everything (hello, fruit contains carbs, too!).
And thanks again for your inspiring carb-loaded 😉 recipes and your defense of carb-food!
Oh, also: Did you already post the recipe for the Apple-Raisin blended barley? Looks totally like my kind of recipe (though this applies to all of your recipes, I think)!
Oats definitely 😀
Oh, I will celebrate carbs this month. I already feel the increasing need for them. It’s getting colder, I’m getting stressed out, I need my fuel 🙂
How appropriate – I’m eating a giant bowl of butternut squash/cashew butter/pumpkin butter/banana oats right now and they are carb-tastic!
“hug a carb” month – ha, I love it. Count me in! 🙂
OMG great idea!
I’ll give it a shout out on my blog 🙂
Aww Anne, you’re a sweetheart!
My favorite grain? I’ve gotta go with my pal quinoa. I love it for so many reasons, but one reason is that it can be made as a hot or a cold dish.
fave grain.. hm i dunno i really like oats but i love pancakes and i just dont know if flour counts lol. i love lots of things made with flour tbh.
the chcolate chip cookie dough is going straight into a recipe file … omg i want to try it.

I am living a hug-a-carb VIDA hahaha. But I like where your head is at. I will join in the celebration of carbies
Katie…why in the world would I want to hug a carb???…when I can EAT it instead 🙂
I like the carb-promoting posts! And your mom makes homemade whole wheat bread! My goodness, you are a lucky girl!
Yay for carbs! This post is making me hungry for sure!
I don’t know if I can name a favorite grain!! I guess it would have to be oats…specifically hot oat bran!
I’m gonna hug a nice loaf of warm, crusty bread later! 😉
OMG all of those oats looks so yummy! I would have to say my favorite is oat BRAN. Yum.
Like I’ve said before, I don’t eat grains very often, but I suppose if I had to chose one it would probably be buckwheat. Warm buckwheat porridge is amazing.
Oats!
