Dear Readers ,
We live in an era where the mere mention of “ politics ” is enough to start a fight . We ’ re super elated that Greenbelt Magazine is a non-controversial platform , and that we can escape the newsfeeds of uncertain predictions linked to endless articles on Trump ’ s hair . People tend to have strongly held beliefs about something very important as the President-elect , however , a key word in life is balance .
Two articles in this issue greatly support shopping local . In “ Go Natural ”, the feature covers a variety of all natural businesses that are made and produced in Idaho . To support these entrepreneurs by selecting their products is win-win for the local economy and your health . Then next is “ Buy Idaho ”, a strong organization celebrating 30 years of support to products and services done in Idaho . Join them on January 18th for the annual trade show at the Capitol Building or visit headquarters in BoDo on 8th Street .
The entrepreneurial spirit continues with Waffle Me Up , which is not your ordinary run-of-the-mill waffle shop . As our writer Bavani describes , “ A hot liege waffle which incorporates the folding of imported
Belgian pearl sugars into the dough creating a perfect caramelized crunchy sweet exterior ” sets them apart from the others . A must TRY ! In addition , renowned author Alan Heathcock talks on how he ended up in Boise , his early inspirations , the writer ’ s toolbox , and his daily routine of discipline . Amazing person !
Enjoy reading , and subscribe online for home delivery !
