Bean Man:
New this week to our Ready to Mix products are Cream of Chicken Soup and Keto Almond Pizza Crust.

Both are Gluten Free and the directions provided with the soup also give a vegan version. The soup package contains 3 packets of dry ingredients each making 6 cups of healthy, hearty soup. You provide cooked chicken, freshly grated or thin-sliced carrots and water – if you cooked the chicken, save the broth and use it. If making the vegan version, we suggest you use vegetable broth. The pizza crust package contains 2 packets of dry ingredients each making a 14" crust which counts out to 3.1 net carbs based on an 8 slice pizza. As with our other pizza crust packs, you provide the toppings of your choice as part of a fresh “Bake, Top, Bake” style pizza which is also really good on the second day (yes, we do that test as well).

As always, we have our Fresh Dry Beans, Mixes, Scottish Oatmeals, Gluten Free Flours and Ready to Mix products available. All are Fresh, Gluten Free and provide many alternatives to choose from as part of your healthy diet. This should be our last rollout for now because it’s getting to be time to start planting beans later in the spring and tend to our oats planted last fall and over the winter.

Periwinkle and Pine Co: We have several ‘Holiday’ special wreaths along with a great selection of other wreaths that will make wonderful gifts or brighten up your home or porch. All handmade with durable materials.

Flying S Farms: This week we have Fresh Farm Chicken Eggs and our COMEBACK products, most requested Plain Sour Dough Bread, Awesome Brownies, Tangy Lemon Bars, Friendship Breads; Vanilla Cinnamon, Double Chocolate and Lemon Blueberry and Coconut. These are available in whole loaves or half loaves, also Cast Iron Skillet Cornbread, our popular Buttermilk Biscuits and Sour Cream Biscuits. Both available in standard biscuit size and in 2" size, you can also get them FROZEN so you can pop them in your oven and they are ‘fresh’ baked by you! What’s the difference you ask…the Buttermilk is a traditional ‘like granny use to make’ and Sour Cream is a lighter texture biscuits. Both are equally delicious with our jams. Jams and Jellies this week: Pomegranate Jelly and our 2 most popular Jams; Seriously HOT Strawberry and It’s Hot Peach Habanero. Both of our HOT Jams are delicious used as an appetizer with cheese and crackers, or glaze meats for that little extra zip! Other Jams available: Low Sugar Blueberry, Low Sugar Strawberry, Low Sugar Red Grape Jelly, Just Peach, Just Strawberry, Tart Sweet Dark Cherry and Strawberry Rhubarb, Pomegranate Jelly. Be sure to check back, I will be Jammin the next few days and will have more to select from.
