• Substitute 1 cup applesauce for cooked grains and Calolea Blood Orange Olive Oil
• Substitute 1-1/2 cups grated carrot for cooked grains, add 1/3 cup cashews (coarsely chopped) and Calolea Mandarin Orange Olive Oil
• For savory (not sweet), add 4 Tablespoons salsa, 1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese and substitute Calolea Basil Olive Oil
• And, for something really different, substitute 1-1/2 cups Rice & Bean Salad or Bean & Corn Salad for cooked grain.
