In yesterday’s post, I talked about ORAC values, the antioxidant capacity of foods to fight free radicals, those little buggers that contribute to aging and disease.

The Dangers of Gluten
Just what my recipe repertoire needs, another version of healthy gluten-free waffles. Pumpkin waffles this time. At any given time from October to April I have a stocked pantry of pumpkin.
