Look for an Evergreen Day and Oatmeal Muffin Day

Today, we’re on the hunt for the perfect natural tree and we’re going to fortify ourselves for the search with a hearty oatmeal muffin!

Look for an Evergreen Day

The Perfect Tree Many people enjoy the scent of a natural Christmas tree and have made a family tradition of finding just the right one.

The evergreen tree is a symbol of everlasting life. In the midst of stark winter landscapes, the evergreen tree remains a beacon of hope.

The tradition of decorating evergreen trees began in Germany in the 16th Century and became part of English tradition when Queen Victoria and Prince Albert popularized German ways of celebrating the season in the 1840s. The first reports of Christmas trees in America were in the homes of German immigrants in the 1830s.

Oatmeal Muffin Day

Oatmeal is a classic cold weather comfort food. Who doesn’t remember starting the day with a steaming hot bowl of oatmeal topped with brown sugar, honey or fruit? Oatmeal also makes a wonderful batch of cookies. One of my favorite with or without the raisins.

Oatmeal contains calcium, potassium and soluble fiber that provides heart health benefits and can reduce blood pressure. Oatmeal also contains a compound called β-glucan that can help to reduce appetite.
