Did you know that you can reduce your allergic reaction to local pollens by consuming local raw honey?  Find a local bee keeper in your area and ask about getting raw honey from them.  You want honey from your area because it will be made from the plants in your area.  By consuming small amounts of local honey, you increase your tolerance of the local pollens and reducing your allergic reaction.

Going veggie does not have to be hard.  So many flavors in this dish.  I just love the artichoke hearts and olives.  A must try for a light, healthy meal
