 Recipe:
Sweet Potatoes with Lime and Cilantro

This recipe is an eye-opener for those who find sweet potatoes cloyingly sweet or who are tired of eating them smothered in marshmallows and brown sugar.

Japanese sweet potatoes, with their pale flesh and delicate flavor, are a treat if you can find them.


Prep time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 30-40 minutes
Serves: 4

Ingredients:
4 sweet potatoes
1/2 bunch fresh cilantro
2-3 limes
butter and salt, optional

Directions:
1. Wash the sweet potatoes and bake them whole, in their skins, at 375 until tender.

2. Wash and chop cilantro leaves.

3. When sweet potatoes are done, slit open the skin and place on serving plate.

Season with salt and dots of butter, if you like, then squeeze fresh lime juice all over, and shower with cilantro leaves.


Greetings!

"Living Life is Fun and we've just begun a New Year"
As we welcome in 2009 I want to encourage you to
"Have faith in YOU and the things you DO!"

Last week I had the opportunity to fulfill a lifelong dream-to sing
in a band!!! My friend Roberta invited me to join her at band
practice as back up singer. It was so motivating to take a step into
my dream of singing, and if I can sing well or not-- it felt good to
give it a try!

Thanks Roberta and the guys in the local band Bluez Doctorz.

An innovative workshop designed to encourage you to listen to your inner voice and stimulate you to learn how to take action when your voice speaks.  We will explore "the voice" inside us and how to express it as it relates to intuition and passion.  We will identify what helps feed your voice and explore ways to express yourself.

Fiona has partnered with Roberta Chadis who sings in a local jazz band to further explore the expression of the voice.  Roberta will encourage you to "sing" and let your voice out and have fun at the end of the seminar!

We want you to join us for an enriching and positive experience that will make you feel inspired!
