BERRY CRUMBLE
Blueberries have more antioxidants than any other popular fruit and help prevent cancer, diabetes, age-related memory loss and are anti-inflammatory. They are also rich in potassium, fibre and vitamins A & C.
“Inflammation is a key driver of all chronic diseases, so blueberries have a host of benefits,” says Ann Kulze, MD, of Charleston, S.C.
Interesting Fact: The paint the Shakers used for the woodwork on their houses was made from sage blossoms, indigo, blueberry skins & mixed in milk.

A Revolutionary Simple Approach To Healthy Eating
Do you think you could add flax seed oil instead of vegetable oil?
Hi Jami, No you cannot use flax oil as you are never to heat flax oil; makes it toxic. Vegetable oil is better for cooking with. You could use Coconut oil or Ghee instead.
Charleston… it’s the best, isn’t it?
the thing i like about stevia is that it is tooth friendly;`*
Hi,
Do you have any tips about baking with stevia? We use it all the time in drinks and LOVE it. But I find that when I bake with it, there’s a saccharine taste. I would appreciate your help!
Thanks!
Susan
