zayconfoodsI am not sure if any of you remember but I earlier posted about Zaycon Foods. It is a pretty unique company. They sell products like chicken, bacon, fruit and other products on line and then you pick them up from a semi-truck on the assigned day. They sell their products in 40 lb portions.

I got my chicken a couple weekends ago and I am very happy with it. You purchase your product online ahead of time and they send you a confirmation and time. We needed to pick our chicken up Saturday morning between 7:30 am and 9:30 am in Wilsonville. I can’t believe how easy it was. We drove down to the parking lot and they had some people giving directions. We were directed to the truck and I was asked my last name - they found I had one box of chicken. I popped my trunk and they put a piece of plastic down and then the chicken and I was off.

IMG_1752 When we got home - we opened the box and there was 4 bags with 10 pounds of skinless boneless large chicken breast in each. The next thing we needed to do was cut up the chicken and divide it to be frozen. There was a little fat on the chicken but really not much. Rex was nice enough to do the dividing while I packaged up the chicken. The chicken breast were large so Rex cut each breast in half and I packed either 3 or 4 pieces in each bag. IMG_1753

We have 27 bags of chicken in our freezer. When I cook I like to make a piece for each Rex and I and then have either 1 or 2 left for lunch the next day. I now need to explore all of my chicken recipes so we don’t get sick of having the same thing all the time. I am glad chicken is so versatile. We are planning on buy the chicken and some hamburger in the future the prices are very good. I the 40 pounds of chicken was only $73.60. This would be great to get for yourself or share with family or friends.

How does Zaycon Foods manage to provide such high quality super fresh meat and produce to its customers at such low prices? The answer is strength in numbers. And not our numbers, yours!

Zaycon Foods can sell its products at bulk rate prices to individual consumers and families because our unique sales event business model brings lots of people together, adding all their purchasing power into a combined bulk food purchase. And when you buy as part of a group that’s committing to such a large purchase, the power is in the hands of the purchaser! It’s the ultimate group buy in terms of both price and consumer empowerment.

You can pre-select exactly what you want to order from a given Zaycon sales event – sometimes you may want to stock up on our amazing meaty back ribs and sometimes it might be all about the Zaycon bacon – and then, on the day of the sales event, you and a whole big bunch of your neighbors will find yourselves in a nearby parking lot watching as an entire tractor trailer’s worth of high quality natural food is unloaded into all of your cars! You will be amazed at how quickly one of our refrigerated trucks goes from being filled with natural, fresh chicken or hundreds of gallons of grade A non-homogenized milk to being empty and back on its way to the farm!

A Zaycon Foods truck sales event often lasts less time than you would spend on a trip to the grocery store, yet you will leave with a whole lot more food than you’d get at the market, and for much better prices, too!

When you use the Zaycon Foods sales event as your preferred place to purchase meats, milk, and any of our other fine products, you get advantages even beyond the bulk pricing that comes with our special sales model. You also have the peace of mind of knowing exactly what you’re going to get! A trip to the grocery store can involve wasted time wandering around looking for various foods spread out across the store; at a Zaycon Foods parking lot meat truck delivery (or milk or berries or fish delivery, too!) you have pre-ordered your foods, so all you have to do is show up and wait for our friendly staffers and volunteers to load up your car.

Also, unlike in the grocery store, the prices you will pay for a Zaycon Foods product are locked in on our website, so you will know how much you are going to spend before you have committed to a purchase.

At a supermarket, you might pay one price for chicken on one day, and then a higher price on another day. With Zaycon, you decide that you want to order a case of our fresh boneless skinless chicken breasts, you check the price and then you commit to it, knowing that from that moment on, we are committed to getting you your fresh, natural food!

IMG_1831I love working in the kitchen and for a long time I have been looking for one piece of equipment that is multi purpose. I hate having to use one gadget for blending another for shredding and another for grinding. Having to use multi tools took a lot of space to store and lots of clean up time. I found the ultimate kitchen blender the 10-in-1 Kitchen Assistant Blender and Mixer that does it all from BrylaneHome! It blends, mixes, chops, grinds, shred, slices, kneads, juices, liquefies, and juliennes. It is a BrylaneHome® Exclusive! I have used it a few times now and I wonder how I ever got along with out it. IMG_1834

I have used it for shredding cheese and for mixing up the dough for a gingerbread haunted house. It was nice to have both hands free to add the next ingredient to the mix instead of using the handheld mixer I have used in the past.

Here is Rex’s smoothies - he makes these once a week and used a small bullet like blender we have. He needed to make it in batches before ~ now it holds all the banana, mango, peach and pineapple he needs.

The 10-in-1 Kitchen Assistant is made of stainless steel, metal and plastic. It is easy to clean and has 450 watts of power. I need to find a special place for it - but I love it! Brylane Home’s 10-in-1 Kitchen Assistant is affordably priced and life is easier when it comes to cooking and preparing food, or serving it. It will help me be able to create a variety of drinks and food.

If you would like to purchase this great 10-in-1 Kitchen Assistant or any other great product from Brylane Homes you can do so HERE. You can connect with Brylane Homes on Facebook.

light in darkA Light in Dark Places

In December, 2009, Susan Cox Powell was reported missing from her home in West Valley City, Utah. As law enforcement tried to piece together what had happened to Susan, her husband, Josh Powell, became the only person of interest in the case.

For Jennifer Graves, Josh’s sister, the nightmare started long before Susan’s disappearance. From her experiences growing up in the Powell family to the terrifying moment when she first started to believe her brother was a killer, she relied on her faith to stay strong. She devoted herself to the safety of Susan’s boys, Charlie and Braden, whom she hoped to be able to raise as her own. When the boys were murdered by their father in February, 2012, Jennifer was more than devastated, but she had to believe there was a reason for it all—including the deaths of her beloved nephews.

In A Light In Dark Places, Jennifer shares her struggles and her triumphs. In coming to terms with such tragedy she finally was able to embrace the truth that we all have the power to choose our own path—and there is always hope, no matter how dark things may seem.

Praise for A Light in Dark Places

I just finished reading “A Light in Dark Places” By Jennifer Graves and Emily Gray Clawson. I was impressed with how well written the book was. The descriptions are such that I felt I was part of the story. I was grateful that the message was one of hope and peace in tragedy. The book does tell the tale of Susan Powell, her boys and their demise but doesn’t dwell on it. It was nice to see inside the life experiences of someone so close to them and to see things from Jennifer’s perspective rather than what you see on the media. I highly recommend this book. It doesn’t disappoint! – T. Hyde

I love true accounts of people overcoming challenges and helping others with the lessons learned from them. This story of Jennifer’s experiences throughout her abusive childhood, and later the disappearance of Susan and the murder of her two sweet nephews is just that. She shares how she felt God’s hand in her life, guiding her to make better choices than the rest of her family did. Though the book had so many sad details, it ended with hope, courage and love. ~D. Raymond

I had followed the story of Susan Powell very closely so I wasn’t sure if the book was going to tell me something I didn’t already know…but it sure did. Jennifer was very brave in writing this book and all she had done in support for Susan. I highly recommend the book it sheds a light on the whole situation that helps make things more clear. ~ Carolyn

This was a very informative read. I lived in Utah at the time of Susan’s disappearance and followed the news every day. This book answered many questions that the news did not. Although it was very sad and I already knew the outcome it was a good read. I admire Jennifer for her part in the whole story and I am glad she had the fortitude to write this book to honor her sister in law. ~Katie O.

To finally read about details that were never shared brought closure for me about this insidious crime. While the book was an easy read, the message shared about breaking the cycle of abusive relationships is invaluable. It truly does take someone removing themselves from their abusive family’s presence to stop the cycle. Praises to the author for sharing her perspectives. ~Arlene

Synopsis
When an Armani-clad corpse turns up in the woods, crime reporter Nichelle Clarke smells a scoop. A little digging, and Nichelle uncovers a web of corruption that stretches all the way to Washington, D.C. Politics. Murder. And a dead lobbyist. It’s everything Nichelle’s ever dreamed of.

The cops are playing it close, the feds even closer, and Nichelle’s afraid her boss will assign the story to the political desk any day. Richmond’s new ATF SuperCop makes an arrest before she can say “Louboutin,” but Nichelle’s gut says he’s got the wrong guy.

Her sexy Mafia boss friend warns her off the case, her TV rival is hot on her designer heels, an ambitious copy editor wants her beat, and victims are piling up faster than she can track them down. As Nichelle zeroes in on the truth, it’ll take some fancy footwork to nab this headline before the killer nabs her.

My Review:

I really enjoyed Buried Leads. This is the second book in the High Heel Mystery series. The first I have read but I didn’t need to read the first one to follow the story. Nichelle Clark is a reporter who always seems to find a bit more of a scoop at a murder scene. She intelligent and has a way of working with everyone to get some leads for solving the murder. In this one a body is found in a woods buried with a partially deteriorated body by two teenagers out late at night. There is also a bit of romance with an ex-boyfriend Kyle and then there is her Mafia connected friend, Joey. I liked reading how she tied everything together. You will need to read Buried Leads to find out what happened. You will enjoy it up to the last page.

I have been looking for a way to exercise and relieve stress. Through the reading I have done I decided that Yoga would be what works best for me. I am looking for an outlet in my life to help build my body as well as develop inner peace for my mind. I am hoping Yoga will help me accomplish both of these goals. Once I decide what I was going to do I needed to find a few products to help me on my new journey. That is when I found Aurorae.

IMG_1823 I found was that Aurorae yoga mats are longer 72″ x 24″ x 1/4″ and they have a focal point Icon on them. I love that the mat is 1/4″ thickness provides me with Aurorae specially designed memory foam that’s thick enough to protect my knees and joints, while still allowing you to grip the floor. The mats come in Great Illuminating colors that Define your Inner Self. Mine is Ocean for Relaxation, Sedate, Caring, Cooling, Spirit, Trustworthy and Attentive.

I can tell that this mat is durable and will last me along time. I also like that all yoga mats are free from Phthalates, Latex and Silicone. The classic one like I have is also biodegradable and made from eco-safe PER.

I also have a sports size Aurorae’s Eco Safe, Hygienic, Super Absorbent Multipurpose Micro-fiber Sport Towel that I really like. I love how well it washes and is great for using when I work out.

Do you have house pets? I have two cats Oscar and Shadow and poor Oscar is forever throwing up hairballs. What a mess ~ but I recently tired this new product I found called Fizzion and it works great!IMG_1628 Fizzion’s award-winning formula is the most powerful cleaning solution on the market to spot-treat pet mess on carpets and most hard surfaces in your home or store. Fizzion’s non-toxic, environmentally friendly solution, instantly goes to the root of the stain and the odor, and forms a shield around the stain while it works on it which immediately reduces odors. Unlike enzymatic cleaners that require long waiting periods to activate, Fizzion works instantly on contact. There is no waiting time - just spray, wipe and watch your stain disappear permanently.

It comes with an empty bottle and two packets with a tablet in each. You fill the bottle with warm water. Leaving space at the top. Next you drop in 1 Fizzzion tablet. Wait a few minutes for the tablet to dissolve and then you are ready to clean.

I just sprayed the Fizzion on the hairball spot and then blotted it with a clean towel. Up came the spot! I was surprised at how good it worked. To be honest I didn’t see the spot the day it happened so it was a dry and I thought for sure the stain set in. What a nice surprise the stain came up with little effort on my part.

Here are some great points regarding Fizzion:

  • Fizzion promotes the use of a reusable spray bottle to prevent landfill waste.
  • Non-toxic formula is safe for pets to sniff or lick.
  • Prevents pets from returning to the same spot to relieve themselves.
  • Easy dissolvable tablets mix up fresh every time you use it.
  • Formula lasts over one year at 100% potency after activation.
  • Can be used on most protein-based stains including red wine and chocolate.
  • Can be used on most fabrics and textiles.

If you are looking for a great product to help clean and deodorize spots and stains Fizzion is the product for you. You can buy Fizzion at many local pet stores or easier yet order it HERE online. You can connect with Fizzion on Facebook.

JenWho doesn’t like fresh baked cookies? I love the smell and I love eating them right out of the oven. Rex has a sweet tooth so I do like to bake for him - but I don’t always have the time to make them. I love to make things from scratch and that takes times. I found jen & joe’s cookie dough that does all the work for me. They make great tasting cookies using real eggs and butter just like I would and then they form them into balls and freeze them. All I have to do is put them on a pan and bake.

IMG_1770They never use artificial colors, flavors, additives or preservatives. They come out perfect every time. Not only are they easy to make they come in 6 great flavors. Including Chocolate Chunk, White Chocolate Wasabi, Lemon Drop, Chocolate Spice, Oatmeal Toffee and my favorite Snickerdoodle.

IMG_1825

 

 

 

 

 

I like the variety of cookie flavors and to be honest wasn’t sure how I would like the White Chocolate Wasabi but it was very good.

I also like that they come in boxes of 12 cookies - no need to have too many sitting around the house to tempt me. I can bake as 1 or 12 at a time. That way nothing goes to waste and they are always fresh.

If you would like to purchase your own great tasting jen & joe’s cookies you can do so HERE. You can also keep connected with jen & joe’s on Facebook.

Sometimes it is hard to get kids to take a bath. They are too busy playing or watching TV or just being a kid. BathBlocks from Just Think Toys makes bath time fun and is educational too. These blocks encourage kids to think and be creative. Who doesn’t like to build a house, towers or bridges.

IMG_1669Here is the set I got the Floating Castle and gave to Rexy’s niece Miley. She loves to play in the bath tub and really loves this set. It is a floating castle set and has a Prince, Princess, Knight, Dragon, Hound and Floating Throne. I love the dragon but she likes them all. It is fun listening to her play and talk to each of the figures. She is excited now when it is time to take a bath, she goes into her own world were building and playing go hand and hand. What is really fun is that they will stick to each other and also to the bath tub itself. Not only is she having fun playing she is learning. She may build the tower too tall and it fall and learns what shapes go together best.

I like that BathBlocks are made from bacteria and mildew resistant EVA and contain no PVC or phthalates. Age: 3-99 due to small parts.

BathBlocks has a lot of really cute sets including a seaport set and tug boat & barge. Your little one will love playing and learning with these sets. You can purchase your own set HERE.
