Power Breakfast

Temperatures in the teens, chasing two year olds, walking Boss four times a day, and many runny noses made me decide I needed a power breakfast. First pomegranate-cranberry juice, full of vitamin c and helps lower blood pressure. Next a bowl of oatmeal cooked in skim milk; Calcium and D; loaded with fiber and protein this stick to the rib cereal will keep me going all morning. Throw in a few pumpkin seed and you get some much need magnesium and additional fiber. Sprinkle on some cinnamon, helps control blood sugar and helps reduce bad cholesterol. Throw in some chopped apple it provided natural sweetness, an everyone knows an apple a day keeps the doctor away. Bring it on winter! I'm ready

Ruby Tuesday

Pomegranates have a long history in civilization. Jewish culture think they may have been the forbidden fruit in The Garden of Eden. Greek mythology has a number of tales that reference pomegranates. They have also played a part in Mexican, Vietnamese and Turkish culture.

They are a super food and contain many antioxidants and vitamins including C, A, and E.

I think the bush is pretty and since there is a bee shortage I tickle the flowers to get fruit.

I'm off to tickle.
