When you are the only one "eating healthy " in the family you can substitute a regular apple pie with a healthy oatmeal one and no one will be complaining! Just don't tell them of course;) Just kidding! There is a difference in taste to the 'normal' sweet and pastry filled dish, However it is not a bad one.

What is Somatology?

Somatology is the study of the body and its functions.
