DRINK LOCAL

I NOT ONLY EAT LOCAL, I DRINK LOCAL TOO 🍷

 I have found this hidden gem that has been around for 6 years and I didn't even know about it.  Being a loyal wine drinker, I am very surprised and maybe a little disappointed in myself that it took me this long to find them.  I am talking about Cante Ao Vinho Winery in Rocklin. 

This is a family owned winery that produces all of their wines locally in house and offers them to the public every weekend (7 tastings) along with live music and a fantastic, cool vibe and ambiance. 

I was there yesterday as a vendor selling my bread (which I sold out of thanks to loyal regulars who loved my bread paired with their fantastic, authentic, old world style wines) and I fell in love with the charm, space, band (Albertson Duo....who were fantastic and very talented!), conversations, and authenticity coming from the staff, and of course....the wines 🍷🍷
I tried 2 wines: Sangiovese and Barbera.....I prefer red wine over white and both of these wines were bold, earthy, rustic, and full bodied.  I would have drank more but I was working 😉

I plan to go back as a vendor as well as a customer and spend weekend afternoons lounging back, having great conversation, enjoying the atmosphere, and trying all of their wines which I'm excited to do 🥂🍷

If you are a wine drinker like me and haven't found this hidden gem, you must head on over and try this special place out....I'm telling you, you will not be disappointed......Cheers all  🥂

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 🙌                                     ...
