Hey Folks, here is a wonderful winter recipe from from South Loop Acupuncture.

Oatmeal Teri Style

• Good quality oatmeal (I usually use rolled oats or a combination of rolled w/ flax seeds)
• Rice milk
• Walnuts
• Dried cranberries or goji berries
• Honey

Walnuts are good for the brain. They are high in omega3 and contain good fats. They can improve brain function as well. The honey is a nice moistening agent for the intestines. Like goji berries cranberries are very good for the blood.

Follow the directions on the package for cooking instructions. I usually make mine stove top in an old iron pan. (Yes you do actually absorb iron from a pan when you are cooking from it. So if you are anemic it can help add more iron to your diet). I add in the goji berries and walnuts while cooking it to soften them a bit.
