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!
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! 
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! 
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.
This fruit reminds me of my childhood because there was a tree in my Grand-Parents' garden. I remember not liking that fruit too much back then because I had so much trouble eating it. Now, I still struggle with the peeling but I am more patient, and I know the health benefits of what has been nicknamed "Power Fruit".
