The food you eat can be either the safest and most powerful form of medicine or the slowest form of poison. - Dr Ann Wigmore

Cross country skiing and working again, so I'm feeling good! And although it has been cold (12 degrees this morning) the sun has been shining and that feels great!! I love the sign from hotsprings the other day..Limp In, Leap Out! I found a yummy recipe on thesunnyrawkitchen.blogspot.com and tried it out today. I am so glad I did, since I was ready to break out of my rut and taste something different-super fast to make and really yummy! I served it with fresh sprouts and sliced tomatoes...
