Issue 29 - June 2011
Here we are in June already and I wouldn't be the only one who is wondering where the first half of the year has gone. While June supposedly starts the official winter months off, we can't really say we are in the midst of the cold of winter as yet. So far it has been mild, but often our real winter cold comes after the shortest day. Winter is a great time to enjoy the warmth of your home and sit down to a hot meal and feel the comforts of warmth on the inside as well as the out. With that hot meal, it needs to be nutritious and beneficial. The recipe includes the brain nut, walnuts and the valuable herb sage. Enjoy the two articles and make sure you nibble on the littlebites as well. Read more
