PARKER, Colo. (April 27, 2009) – Creating a healthy and nutritious brunch for Mom on Mother’s Day is easier than ever. Starting with whole or enriched grains will help you create a wholesome display that the entire family will enjoy. The following recipes, designed to be easy as well as healthful, pack nutritional benefits into foods that are pleasing to the eye as well as the palate.

Begin by getting kids involved. Burrito Bunny Bites, featured in the Wheat Foods Council’s 35th anniversary cookbook, are an easy appetizer that kids can easily assemble. No cooking is required – just a few simple ingredients are all it takes to create these tasty and nutritious treats. Other great brunch additions include Spiced Granola Pancakes or Strawberry and Yogurt Wheat Crepes. Add your own favorite salads, sides and some fresh fruit to round out the meal.
