Breakfasts to Warm Your Heart Canada is famous for its winters and chilly mornings turn my thoughts to the winter warmth of a wood fire, steaming kettles and a good breakfast.
Creamy Couscous Almond Pudding This creamy and rich recipe is a great way to start or finish your day, as it is ideal for breakfast or dessert. Whole grains provide essential minerals such as chromium, which help insulin to regulate blood sugar.

Blueberry Smoothie Katrina, my teenage granddaughter, loves to drink smoothies and helped me come up with this recipe. For the best flavour, use ripe bananas with sugar (brown) spots.
