Photo Show & Tell: Taco Bell, Shredded Cheese, Activia Yogurt and more

What a beautiful week it was here in Florida! I hate to say that knowing that so many people are still dealing with snowstorms. But in Florida, the weather was beautiful. Warm. Even muggy. And sunny.  A perfect combination. I’m on day 13 of going without sugar. I know I told all of you about that the past couple of weeks. It’s been a challenge. But my cravings are pretty much gone. Unless my son is eating a cracker while sitting on my lap. Then, I may try to lick the air to get a little taste. It has been tough, but it has also been awesome to try to get more veggies into our lives!

Please remember that you do not see any chicken or ground beef purchased because we have stocked up on boneless, skinless chicken breasts and ground beef with Zaycon Foods. In fact, we just picked up 40 pounds of chicken this morning! We are stocked! **Right now Zaycon Foods is taking reservations for their upcoming Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts, Bacon, Sausage links, Chuck Roast, Patio Steaks, Pulled Pork and more Events!
