Hearty Harvest Breakfast

Happy Halloween!

Today's the actual day but folks have been posting pics of costumes and parties and other scary things all weekend.

But for many people, feeding yourself well is *truly* frightening!!

(like that? It took me about two minutes to come up with it)

Here's a tasty recipe for you that combines lots of harvest-like foods that will warm you up and keep you full for hours. And make sure you add lots of extra things to boost fiber, get extra vitamins and full fat for healthy hair, skin and nails.

large handful dried cranberries 

1 large pat butter 

maple syrup to taste
