THAMES ROAD NEWS cooking with memories BY DEBBY WAGLER MUFFINS CAN MAKE A GREAT BREAKFAST OPTION WHEN IN A HURRY. I AM LEARNING THAT NOT ALL MUFFINS ARE THAT GREAT FOR YOU SO I HAVE TRIED TO ADAPT AN OLD RECIPE AND TO MAKE IT SOMETHING QUITE HEALTHY. IT DOES COME OUT A BIT HEAVIER THAN SOME TYPES OF MUFFINS BUT THE FLAVOR IS TERRIFIC. THE RECIPE IS WRITTEN ON A SHEET OF PAPER THAT HAS FADED AND BEEN SPLATTERED AND I ACTUALLY HAD TO GUESS AT QUANTITIES DUE TO SMUDGES. I'VE NOW REWRITTEN THE RECIPE, ALTHOUGH I STILL KEEP REWORKING THE INGREDIENTS AS I FEEL ADVENTUROUS. Morning Glory Muffins Step 1: Mix together in a large bowl: 1 cup oatmeal 1 cup flour 1/4 cup all bran 2 tsp baking soda 2 tsp cinnamon 1/2 tsp salt 3/4 cup white sugar Step 2: Mix together the following in another bowl: 2 mashed bananas 3 grated carrots 1/2 cup each of dates, raisins, walnuts and coconut 2 apples grated Add to step 2: 3 beaten eggs (or 1 egg and equivalent to two egg whites in a container) 1 cup unsweetened applesauce (this is completely substituting for oil) 2 tsp vanilla Gently stir step 2 into first bowl. Don't overstir. Fill greased muffin tins 2/3 full and bake muffins at 350degF for about 20 minutes. Makes about 18 smaller sized muffins. Freeze muffins and pull them out as you want one to make them a treat throughout a couple of weeks! Remember to play with a recipe to suit your fancy and/or health concerns. Add high fibre cereal by substituting for some of the flour, adjust fruits to your liking. A good rule of thumb is to try to maintain the same quantities of wet or dry ingredients. If you do increase moist ingredients like banana or apples it just tends to make a heavier product --but still good!

If you serve your community, you have a responsibility to serve your community clean drinking water. Everyone has a stake in clean drinking water. Our families and friends; our clients and customers. Under Ontario's new Drinking Water Systems Regulation, owners of drinking water systems now must comply with strict water quality and operating standards. If you own or operate a business or service facility of any kind that serves the public and relies on its own source of water, then you are affected by the regulation. Mobile home parks, campgrounds, small hotels, gas stations and places of worship are some of the establishments subject to the regulation. So are children's camps, schools, hospitals and any social care facility. In short, any place where the general public has access to a drinking water system, such as a washroom, drinking water fountain or shower. You are also subject to the new regulation if you own or operate a system that supplies drinking water for a seasonal or permanent community of six or more residences. We all share the same water resource. Small drinking water systems now join municipalities, industries and the agricultural community in doing their part to protect the quality of Ontario's drinking water. Find out what you need to do as a responsible provider of clean, safe drinking water. Call 1-800-565-4923 CD Ontario
