Brown rice (which has all kinds of gourmet varieties that taste very yummy with a nutty flavor) is great and high in protein as well. Quinoa is another high protein good for you grain.

As for recipes - I love the mashes cauliflower (cook it really well and mash like you would mashed potatoes). Another "snack" recipe is to take recotta cheese and add cocoa powder. It is like chocolate pudding, but again high in protein. The South Beach Diet book really does have several fabulous recipes in it.
Well said Jodie .... Thats what I was trying to get at with my whole grain speech - ha, ha!!
