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!

Mmm, that apple-raisin barley looks amazing! I must say that I am definitely a carb lover and I am finding it difficult to choose a favorite grain. Oats are my most consumed grain, but I think I am going with quinoa as a favorite. It’s just so nutritious!
I love it!
I have to agree with you, oats are my favourite grain too. Barley would have to be my second choice.
Back to munching on some homemade onion cakes for lunch… mmm… carbs…
PS – pancakes last night were excellent. Chocolate PB spread and coconut flakes on pancakes is delicious!
I’d have to say oat bran. I guess that’s the same as oatmeal 🙂 Definitely the best grain. I still have to try oat bran in the rice cooker since the oatmeal came out so well 🙂
I just made your carby blender cereal!
Oats for sure though.
All this talk of carbs… I had to fix a big vat of pasta! I made spinach pasta, plan to post about it soon. 😉
My go to grain would have to be cream of wheat, it hits the spot every time. 🙂

Hug a crab?! That could be very painful, they have the sharpest little claws… oh wait… hug a carb! Oh, OK – never mind! 😛
Personal opinon – I <3 carbs. Particularly oats. I'm waiting for it to get a bit colder out before I go back to my hot breakfasts, but for now, bircher- muesli and granola keeps my oat-yearning at bay.
BTW – Have you ever tried soaking your oats overnight in soy milk and mixing it up with a semi-frozen blended banana? I usually add nuts and PB, maybe some raisins to make a quick breakfast when it gets down to end of the week/month and I'm running out of usual staples. Its really good, kinda like vegan Bircher muesli.
Favorite carb? Oats. And fruits and vegetables, of course. They are carbs, after all. 🙂
I love this idea – carbs have been declared a terrible thing, when in fact, they are absolutely fantastic. In balance with fat and protein, of course.
I love the looks of the apple raisin blended barley. That’s not something you see everyday on the blogosphere like oats. I love your creativity sweetie…awesome!
Hi Katie!! OH GOD how do i begin to express the ways I am addicted to carbs. Unfortunately, I am always eating the super processed kind like cereal and bread and crackers. Obviously, i like the healthy kind too – hahah veggies? corn!!! yes!!!
Because of you, I was inspired to bake a vegan banana bread and BOY was it freakin good!!!!! 🙂 Thanks girl, you’re an inspiration!
Hug a carb – it beats the hug a hoodie campaign going on in England at the moment!
Actually I made a rather yummy peanut butter spaghetti tonight 😀
sounds like something right down your street 😛
oh I will be the perfect carb hugger!! I am going to go hug some bread now!
“Hug a Carb” month- brilliant! I am with you on loving carbs and I hate that they get such a bad reputation! I can immediately tell if I haven’t eaten enough carbs because I just feel plain icky.
Favorite grain…hm…. I probably have to go with buckwheat because I’ve been loving the flavor lately in baked goods.
Give me a carb and I will love it and eat it. =D Whole wheat has gotta be my favorite. I’ve 100% converted into a whole wheat girl. White bread, refined flour, etc etc – blah! Gimme the whole thing! =)

Carbs are too important (and too delicious) to leave them out! And don’t forget that fruits and veggies are carbs, too. 🙂
My favorite grain has got to be quinoa, though brown basmati rice is a close second. 😉
