If you get a craving for onion rings, you wouldn’t pick up an order from a fast food restaurant. Of course not! There’s no need to fall completely off the wagon to satisfy a craving. Instead, keep your health in mind and whip up these high-fiber, whole grain onion rings with Bob’s Red Mill Whole Wheat Pastry Flour. Serve them with creamy chipotle sauce and quinoa-crusted chicken tenders, fried chicken or quinoa-bean burgers.
