Easy Shrimp and Grits with Sweet Peppers
Breakfast, brunch or lunch for a crowd of house guests is not always easy and affordable. This recipe fills them up without draining your wallet. Double it by making twice the grits and sauteing the vegetables and shrimp in batches to keep from crowding the skillet while they cook. Our bacon is fantastic, contains no synthetic nitrates/nitrites, and our strict welfare standards apply to the pigs it comes from. That said, you can make a very delish vegetarian batch by replacing the bacon with sliced mushrooms and olive oil, and omitting the shrimp.

Warm Millet Salad with Brussels Sprouts, Creamed Mushrooms and Sage
Here's a hearty, flavorful dish that takes care of a few special diet needs your guests may have. It can simultaneously serve as a gluten-free, vegetarian side dish or a main course for four. Use any mushrooms you like, including cremini, oyster or portobello. For extra flavor and vegetarian protein, garnish with chopped toasted walnuts. Millet has wonderful flavor, especially when toasted and, like quinoa or brown rice, makes an excellent gluten-free stuffing alternative.

Vegetable Biryani with Cashews
Top the finished biryani with a fragrant mix of sliced jalapeños, tomato wedges, and chopped cilantro, if you like. This recipe was inspired by Whole Planet Foundation microcredit clients and their projects. The Foundation funds microcredit in India where Whole Foods Market sources a variety of products including cashews.

Pizza Wheels
This recipe comes to us courtesy of the Renegade Lunch Lady Chef Ann Cooper and her book Lunch Lessons: Changing the Way We Feed our Children. These pizza wheels are fast and easy to make, and the perfect size for a snack that won't interfere with dinner. Of course we prefer to see families make the dough from scratch, but we know it's not always possible. Substituting 1 pound of store-bought frozen bread or and pizza dough works great as well.
