	from Fiona Haynes It depends how old your children are, but when my six year old says she's going to bring me breakfast in bed on Mother's Day--thus spoiling the surprise--I have to wonder what delightful concoctions she'll come up with. Time for me to drop some hints, I think. For all those moms out there, have a wonderful Mother's Day.

Top Picks - Bulk Foods from your Vegetarian Cuisine Guide

Ever wonder what resides in those big plastic bins at your local health food store? Bulk foods are economical, fun to shop for and easy to use, plus, buying in bulk means less food packaging waste. You buy as much or as little as you want, so the bulk bins are a great way to experiment with new foods or recipes. Most health food stores include basic recipes on the bulk bin, so don't forget to bring a pen and paper to copy them down. Read on to find out what to look for and how to use it.

1) Grains
Several grains, such as whole [b]quinoa[/b] and [b]millet[/b], can be used as a healthy alternative to rice as a base for stir-fries and curries, as they have a similar texture and flavor. Quinoa and millet are also usually priced very cheap at around a dollar a pound. To add extra flavor, cook in vegetable broth instead of water. Rinse thoroughly and use a two-to-one liquid to grain ratio, as quinoa and millet expand like rice. Cook for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally and enjoy!

2) Instant Hummus
Instant [b]hummus[/b] tastes almost as good as fresh, for about a third the price. Just add water, lemon juice and olive oil, or, for a lower fat version, replace the olive oil with extra water. Hummus is great, not only as a healthy dip for veggies, but also as an alternative to mayonnaise in sandwiches and wraps. Spread a generous layer in the center of a flour tortilla, layer tomato slices, lettuce, cucumbers and red onions and wrap for a quick lunch. I like to add pickles too.

3) Veggie Burger Mix
[b]Veggie burger[/b] mix (also called [b]Nature's Burger[/b] mix) is quick and easy to prepare, and although tasty, you may prefer the pre-made versions. The recipe on the bin will tell you to just add water, form into patties and fry, but I like to add different spices, such as chili powder, garlic and a little extra salt. For a lower fat version, place patties on a flat surface and microwave for two minutes, flip the patties over, and cook for one more minute.
