The Flash Speaks

If it’s Christmas

there is bright lights

there is also saddness

there is also gladness

but don’t forget it is a month just like the other 11 months before

December is a month full of drama

It’s also full of fun and extra goodness

It can unravel and twist me

I have a new cookbook called Eat and Flourish How Food Supports Emotional Well Being

Here is a recipe that says YES to me:

Blueberry (for almost any berry) Crisp –

2/3 cup whole wheat flour; 1 1/2 cups rolled oats; 1 tsp salt; 1 tsp cinnamon; 1/2 cup olive oil; 1/2 cup good honey; 1/2 tsp vanilla ;

6 cups wild blue berries (or toss in any leftover berries rolling around in your fridge for a mixed fruit crisp); 2 tsp lemon juice; 1 tbsp chopped fresh mint

I say let’s eat and flourish and unravel a bit.
