INVEST BACK INTO OUR COMMUNITY

I think I've mentioned this once or twice 😉 Support local businesses like farmers, growers, and vendors at your local farmers market.....keep cash flow within our local community and help our local economy to thrive 💸

 By buying your food from local farmers markets, you are guaranteeing that 90% of every dollar is going back to the local farmer unlike big grocery stores where less than half goes back to the farmer.  The great thing about farmers markets also is that you can sample many different varieties of what they are selling so you can taste what you are buying before you actually buy it.  There is usually no middle man, it's direct sales from farmer to customer, so you're guaranteed the best price for the quality you're getting! 🍑🍓🌿🍅
Farmers are also happy to share with you what to make or how to cook the product they are selling.  So.....not only are you getting a quality product that is local and fresh and maybe new to you, you are getting ideas from the actual producer on the best way to enjoy that particular product 🙌

Here are some finished results of my farmers market purchases:

IT'S NATIONAL FLUFFERNUTTER DAY

What is a Fluffernutter?? A Fluffernutter is basically a peanut butter and marshmallow cream ( fluff ) sandwich 🥜🍞 If you've never had one.....you should.....just to try, they're delicious but filling and full of sugar thanks to the highly processed marshmallow creme.  At Garcia Bread Co ., we don't have a Fluffernutter flavor so we're going to celebrate with our new addition to our family:  Banana Peanut Butter Chip   🍌🥜available in loaf, muffin, or baked donut form 🙌👏: A unique combination of fresh bananas and sweet and salty creamy peanut butter chips all throughout the batter. This is so decadent it feels like a treat or dessert but is so nutritious it can be enjoyed as a quick breakfast any day of the week.  And, remember.....all of our products have no added sugar (sweetened with applesauce and honey ) and no added saturated fats (a small amount of sunflower oil which is rich in vitamins ....especially E , and antioxidants to stay moist and flavor...

I MADE IT!

I did it!! 20 Day Challenge is successfully completed!!! Here is what I learned from this experience: You can do ANYTHING for 20 days! Eating real, whole foods all the time keeps you satisfied with more energy and feeling better about yourself. It forced me to eat better and be creative in getting the best nutrition into my body it gave me new, healthy recipes that I didn't know existed I will do this again....maybe a few times a year I am proud of myself 👏 While I am excited I completed the challenge, I will need to be careful in introducing certain foods back into my diet; sugars, etc.... I know I am going to limit my fried and processed foods if at all.......no real benefits to them.....with that said.....Where are the jelly beans????  If you know me, you know I love my Easter candy.....in moderation people....in moderation 🙌                                     ...
