Whole Grain Goodness

Eating at least 3 servings of whole grain daily may help reduce blood cholesterol. Look for the word "whole" to be sure you get the whole grain.

Substitution

Strawberry or Strawberry-Banana yogurt tastes great in these easy scones, too.

Stir in 2/3 cup of the yogurt, the cranberries, egg and cereal, until soft dough forms.

Not very good. Not sweet at all, and dry. Would not make these again.
