March is National Colorectal Awareness Month

Colorectal cancer is a leading cause of cancer death for both men and women. If detected early, colorectal cancer can be more easily and successfully treated.

Colorectal Cancer Prevention

Leap Year 2012

Take a leap and Try something New.....

Well on Leap day, I took advantage and discovered something delicious and new - new Honey nut flavored Quaker Oatmeal squares!

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, especially one that is filled with whole grains. That is why I am so fond of my new discovery. A single serving has 46 grams of whole grains, 96% of your minimum daily recommendation!
