Note from Traci
What a great week! We have had two great meetings with our speakers sharing valuable information to those who were able to attend. Jean and I both spoke at a RAW Club meeting in the Villages and World Wellness Education has been invited to present our Kid's Outreach Program at this year's Girlz to Women Conference. We are looking forward to sharing the importance of eating healthy to several groups of middle school girls this Saturday.
With chocolate appearing everywhere this week. I thought I would share this great recipe on a healthier way to get that sweet fix. These brownies not only taste great, but are quick and easy to make.
Good Health & Happiness,
Traci
