Raspberry Picking

Kids had fun raspberry picking today and I had fun raspberry eating!

Raspberry is great food. It hasn't been listed as one of the 10 Power Foods being best source of health and energy but it is still a good source of Vitamin K and Magnesium, and a very good source of Dietary Fiber, Vitamin C and Manganese. The problem is that a large portion of the calories comes from sugars...

1 cup = 64 calories and 5g of sugars.

Freezing rainstorms can be scary, causing damages and power outages...

... but they also generate inspirational beauty!

Food Friday #10

One of my favorite healthy snacks, the Fruity Yogurt. Nothing fancy; just a cup of each low fat plain yogurt and frozen berries. Filling and nutritious but also good looking, no?

First snowfall of the season, finally! 

Weekend Snapshot(s) #49

We didn't have any snowfall yet but it has been cold enough for streams to freeze.

Now, with the help of that $10 Gift certificate I won and BD's money,
we have new buddies at home. Meet Paddy, the Funky-Roller-Skater, and Cherry Beary, the Ballerina!

Thank you Lisa, Nana and Papa2!

Food Friday #9

Thanksgiving luncheon at school. I stayed away from the meaty and greasy stuff and got some Pumpkin Bread, Banana Bread, Corn Bread, Crackers and Cheddar Cheese and Fresh Fruits.

Food Friday #8

I have finally found a decent bakery in my area and they have almost-as-good-as-the-real-stuff Pain-au-Chocolat; not the healthiest treat on Earth but a delicious and occasional spirit lifter for an isolated French soul...

A few Surprises

I was not lucky with Blaine's contest so Mister Tricotine surprised me with that "Run for your Life" DVD that I wanted so bad, also with Jillian Michaels Wii Boot Camp exercise game and the "Book of Tofu" that I had borrowed at the library a little while ago and had to turn back before I had a chance to try to make my own tofu. Am I spoiled or what?!   I am usually not lucky at contests but to my surprise, I actually won one yesterday! Thanks again, Lisa!
