Photo Show & Tell: Sunsweet Juice, Dove Bars, Arnold Bread and more

Happy Friday! Hubby was so awesome and tonight he took Asher to Publix to do our weekly shopping trip. This past year I have been dealing with neck and upper back issues and this past week my pain has been unbearable at times. If I could, I would be laying down all day because I find the pain subsides to a manageable level when my head is resting on a flat mattress. But alas, that isn’t going to happen! So I’m doing my neck exercises, icing, taking turmeric supplements as well as Aleve and I’ll be headed back to the chiropractor next week. All that to say, the idea of shopping sounds horrible! So I was thankful when hubby offered to go!

This week was a very special week for us as a family. On Wednesday, the 19th, we celebrated “Family Day.” Family Day is the anniversary of the day our son joined our family and we became a family of three. We’ve been a family of three for two full years now – time flies! I honestly think I like this day more than birthdays. It’s just such a special day for us. In honor of family day, we went to the Ethiopian restaurant Queen of Sheba in Tampa. We feasted on Ethiopian food and then came home to eat cake. If you never have tried Ethiopian food, you really should try it! It’s quite the experience. Most of the foods are stew-like and have been simmering in flavorful spices all day long. The main staple of the meal is injera. It is a sponge-like sour doughish tortilla-like pancake that you use to eat your food. You don’t use utensils. You just use pieces of the injera to pick up the food. It’s a great meal for toddlers who barely use their forks! 😉 Just make sure you specify whether or not you like your food spicy as some of the food can be pretty spicy!

Today’s shopping trip was a small one where we focused on some of the good BOGO deals. I wanted to stock up on some more freezer deals, but now that our stand alone freezer has died, we are very limited on freezer space. Now I need to find myself a deal on a good freezer!

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 Fresh. **Right now Zaycon Fresh is taking reservations for their upcoming $3.99/lb 93/7 Lean Ground Beef, $1.89/lb Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast, Fresh Salmon events and more!
