Greetings!
Wowza, where did January go?? Last ‘seekrit’ list of the month already, and we’re going onwards with the ‘nutritional density’ angle, this time focusing on boosting immune function in the midst of cold/flu season.
Antioxidant packed blueberries show up, along with pomegranates, dark chocolate, sundried tomatoes, mango, papaya….and a soup that’s seriously power-packed with veggies. For comfort on these chilly days we have a trio of soups to warm your soul, and a trio of mains so you don’t have to worry about trudging through the slush to grocery shop.
‘Oh So REALLY Not Your Mom’s Meatloaf‘ is finally back…thank you for your patience to those of you who have been asking for it, the wait will be worth it! And, as promised, cookies are back this week with a chocolate packed twist on the ‘Peanut Butter Flax’ you know & love. To go with those cookies we’ve got a serotonin & antioxidant packed ‘Dark Chocolate Hot Chocolate‘ mix sweetened with organic raw sugar and given a touch of spice with cinnamon. Rounding it all out we’ve got a frighteningly good for you fruit salad that focuses on boosting your immune function to the max!
Same routine as usual, folks with orders in by TUESDAY @ 6:00 and pick-ups starting THURSDAY @ 4:00…and of course, as usual, if Thursday isn’t good for you just let me know and we’ll make alternate arrangements. (Oh, and if you find you’ve missed the Tuesday deadline please feel free to drop me a line with a late order….we frequently have extras so if there’s any way we can fill your order we will!)
Hope you’re bundled up for the brrrrrr they’re forecasting for the morning!
See you Thursday!
Joann
