It was a bit Dickensian at this year’s Dickens of a Run & Walk! A cold start to the race but the snow started to lightly fall as the runners and walkers took off, creating a beautiful winter landscape.  Thank you to everyone who braved the cold to participate in this year’s run/walk.  Nearly 90 hardy people, some dressed in holiday cheer, enjoyed this fun run/walk through Stoughton.

Newman's Own Organics

Did you know that Newman's Own Organics became a separate company from Newman's Own in 2001? Both organizations are involved in charity. Since 1982 Paul Newman and the Newman's Own Foundation have donated more than $350 million dollars worldwide.

Lucky for you Newman-O's are currently on sale at the co-op, so now's the time to really stock up! These organic creme filled wafer cookies are highly addictive and they have a variety of flavors to please the crowd.

Almond Milk anyone?

Almond milk is one of the most nutritious milk substitutes available. It doesn't contain saturated fats or cholesterol. It's very good for your heart since it does contain omega-3 fatty acids. A typical eight ounce serving of almond milk contains about one gram of protein and one gram of dietary fiber. Almonds are already rich in vitamins and minerals, so almond milk doesn't need to be fortified. Vitamin E, manganese, selenium, magnesium, potassium, zinc, iron, fiber, phosphorous and calcium are all found in almonds.

Low in calories and rich in nutrients...maybe you should pick up some Almond Breeze to dunk your Newman-O's!
