Be Healthy Maine

On Sunday, September 6th, I completed the Boston Marathon in Bangor.  I created my own start/finish line, my own race course, I had water stations, I had an aid station with my own medical team (my hubby!), and a cheering squad (my awesome neighbors). And, it was AMAZING!  I thought about everyone who believed in me and who made donations to BCH.  I thought about the healthcare team who saved Katie’s life and all the patient partners.  I thought about how my simple act of lacing up has made such a profound difference in, not only my life, but in the lives of those who need BCH.

In honor of National Waffle Day, we scoured the internet and our recipe boxes for our favorite waffle recipes and then set out to healthify them. The recipe below was the clear winner:

Our Bereavement Group returns September 9th at 6pm and will take place every 2nd and 4th Wednesday to follow.

When it comes to pizza, remember, everything is okay in moderation. So, if you can find pepperoni and it doesn’t break the bank, a piece every now and then won’t hurt. However, there are many ways to healthify (on Be Healthy Maine, it’s a word!) your favorite pie.

In 2008, my husband Paul and I relocated our family to Bangor for work.  Although we had never been to Bangor before, we were looking to move to the closest city near the eastern Canadian border (my husband and I are both from east coast Canada).  Twelve years have passed since then and    Bangor has not disappointed us!
