Heart-Healty:
Start your day right

I usually start my day with either oatmeal or home-made granola, but recently came across this recipe (In Alive Magazine) for a cold cereal using raw Steel Cut Oats - and am loving it.  Make the night before (& keep for a few days). 

1 cup        steel-cut oats
1 cup        almond milk (or milk of choice)
2 Tbsp      chia seeds
1/4 tsp of each:      cardamon, ginger & cinnamon
1/8 tsp of each:      nutmeg and pepper
1 tsp         vanilla
1Tbsp      pure maple syrup or honey

Put above into sealable container, stir, and place in fridge overnight. In the morning put 1/4 in bowl, sprinkle some nuts and a bit of almond milk on top.  Yum :)

Who doesn't love FREE CARDS?...
A few more days left in this months sweepstakes.  Please go to my Facebook page, and comment on the latest batch of new cards.  Your name will then be entered into a draw for one dozen free cards - over $50 value.  Thanks - I appreciate your opinion!

On the lookout for LOVE


Actually, not exactly love - just hearts.  I have started a Facebook album of carved hearts I have seen on my travels.  Why not post yours too?  Would love to see them - be sure to note where the picture was taken.
Thanks for taking the time to read my news.  Please feel free to forward or share my news.  Hope to hear from you soon!   Karen
