An apple a day is said to keep the doctor away, and since it’s National Nutrition Month it’s only fitting that we focus our attention on healthy eating habits. If the thought of bland steamed vegetables or a cup of prune juice makes you shudder, relax! There are many delicious good for you options that can be a part of your daily routine diet. Remember, smart eating is all about balance and moderation. If you crave pancakes or waffles, wake up and dig in at Three Roses Bed and Breakfast in Pontiac, IL where you can decline the funnel cake and the French toast, and make your doctor proud by requesting the 5 grain fitness waffle or the flaxseed oatmeal pancake. Fiber rich meals such as oatmeal are packed with soluble fiber, which not only makes you feel satiated and satisfied; but it’s also known to reduce the risk of heart disease and lower cholesterol. This B&B also offers plain oatmeal, gluten-free granola and is happy to meet any special dietary requests.
Organic devotees can eat with a clear conscience at Tucker House Inn on San Juan Island in Friday Harbor, Washington. It’s one of the few places where the food comes directly from the source. Every week, a neighborhood milk man delivers hormone free milk and cream, local farmers and fisherman provide fresh produce, fish and free range eggs. Organic food not only tastes better, but recent research also shows that food free of chemical fertilizers and/or pesticides may have health benefits as well. So, eat happy and start your day off with fresh stirred yogurt with locally produced honey and homemade granola followed by apple oatmeal pancakes or a protein packed, “Friday Harbor Omelet,” which is made using farm fresh eggs, smoked wild pacific salmon, fresh herbs and asiago cheese served with oatmeal berry pancakes.
