Commonly enjoyed as a sweet dessert, a traditional Tarte Tatin is made with apples, butter and brown sugar. If you love the way a Tarte Tatin is made but aren't a fan of sweets, then we have the perfect recipe for you.

Packed full of wholesome ingredients like cherry tomatoes, basil and Bob's Red Mill Whole Wheat Flour, it's a great source of sunny flavor.
To put an even healthier spin on this meal, use Organic Whole Wheat Flour. Stoneground from hard red spring wheat, all of the nutrients from the bran and germ are still intact.

Do you love pot pies, but are craving a change in your weekly menu?

In this recipe, hearty pulled pork is tossed with flavorful barbecue sauce and then covered in a savory blanket of cheese grits.
To add texture to the pot pie filling, Bob's Red Mill Organic Unbleached All Purpose White Flour is used.

To make the cheesy crust, our Organic Corn Grits Polenta is combined with eggs and sharp cheddar cheese. Yielding 8-10 servings, this recipe is great to make in large batches and does well when stored in the freezer. Once you're ready to eat, just let the pot pie thaw, heat it and enjoy it!
