If you’ve heard the news lately, you know we’re smack dab in flu season.  My seven year old granddaughter had eleven children in her class on Friday!   We heard 83 were absent from the local middle school.

Knock on wood, our family has been spared.  I like to think it has something to do with the little purple fruit I sneak in on them regularly.  Aronia juice, Aronia jam, Aronia cookies, Aronia smoothies, Aronia in the soup, whatever it takes to get those healthy little purple berries into our bodies.

If you’re in central Iowa, be sure to get your Aronia frozen berries at Fareway, Gateway Market, Brick Street Market, or Price Choppers!
