Thursday, November 5th, 2009

Dear Cozette shared this recipe for a yummy soup that uses the mango and peach salsa sold at Costco.

Besides the fact that I’m always looking for simple and delicious ways to serve more wheat berries to my family, I especially wanted to prepare and share this soup with my nephew. You see, Steve was diagnosed with Leukemia about four months ago. My sister, Carolyn, is doing everything she can to help him eat healthy food and WHEAT has been suggested by his doctors. 

Without a doubt, Steve is our favorite Chemo Sabe. Your prayers in his behalf are greatly appreciated. (www.stevenrevans.blogspot.com)
