Anne Frank Exhibit


Make sure to take some time to go see the Anne Frank Exhibit "Anne Frank: A History for Today." This is a free exhibit from April 13 to May 11 at the Salt Lake City Main Library.


"How lovely that everyone, great and small, can make their contribution toward introducing justice straghtaway... And you can always, always give something, even if it is only kindness."

-Anne Frank

Yummy Bran Muffins...


This is one of my favorite treats, and it's pretty healthy. I love to have them available anytime. Keep them in the freezer and warm up in the microwave for 45 seconds for a delicious snack.


Ingredients:

3 eggs

1/2 cup vegetable oil

1/2 cup honey

3 1/2 cups bran

1 1/2 cups milk

2 1/4 cup flour (I usually use whole wheat)

1 tsp. cinnamon

2 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. vanilla

1 cup dried cranberries

2 smashed bananas (optional)


Directions: (if you're using the bananas, smash those up first and mix them with the "wet" ingredients)Mix wet ingredients together in large mixing bowl (by hand or electric mixer).Bit by bit, add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture.Batter will be a little "wet"...add the cranberries, and mix them in. Grease a muffin pan. Fill each cup 3/4 full with batter. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes.


*I also like to substitute the cranberries with chocolate chips, yum!

Thank you!


We wanted to say thank you for thanking us... This morning we had a bright, cheery woman come to thank us. She brought a cute gift, and couldn't help getting emotional as she thanked Dr. Barnhisel for helping out a friend of hers. Her friend was missing his front tooth and Dr. Barnhisel donated his time and resources to help this kind man leave our office with his tooth. The man was so excited he left his snow hat and other things sitting in the chair at our office. Once he realized he left his stuff, he came running back in and said he was so excited that he forgot everything else.
Later that day, he called his friend to tell her he now had a reason to smile, with his new tooth. It made our day today to have this friend come tell us how much it meant to her and her friend, to have someone take the time to help out a stranger.
The thank you made it all worth while... Thank you for thanking us!
