Hi Rita, I find it at my local grocery in the cereal aisle but sometimes it's in the section that has healthy grains and cereals. Stores often have a whole section of Bob's Redmill products and sometimes it will be stocked there.

Thanks so much, Fiona, for taking the time to leave a comment. I do pray before I choose a verse and ask God to show me what Scripture and song someone out there (besides me) might need. Today it was you He had in mind 💕

Dear Chris
Your recipes are, it goes without saying, absolutely fabulous and I use them all the time. But today I wanted to thank you for the Thought of the Day: my family is going through a particularly harrowing time at the moment and it was just the reminder we all needed that peace is possible even in difficult circ*mstances. So thank you for nourishing not only our bodies but also our souls.
