If you’re still working on your new year’s resolution of weight loss or trying to eat healthier (or even if you’re not), I tried a new, healthy spin on an old favorite that is fantastic.

Let me count the ways: There is not gift-giving pressure, you don’t need a costume or a date, there are no secrets to keep, no mythical creatures to embody and no political connotations.

It’s the changing of the seasons here in Minnesota … sweartshirts are coming out of storage boxes, crops are being harvested and apple trees are loaded with fruit.
