I’ve known this friend for 11 years! As far as I know, (up to this point) I didn’t think she liked to cook....but she bought some seasoning anyway!

You know when it snows (and I’m talking the heavy damp stuff) and you get halfway across the driveway with your shovel & stop, because it’s just too heavy to push any further? Yeah, that feeling. I moved another inch forward towards getting into my farmers market as a vendor, by applying and purchasing an EID/sales tax ID number. Insurance is next. Then I went to pick up my labels. The company, Fast Signs, had made spelling & punctuation errors. I thought all were corrected but the punctuation part was not. I mentioned it to them, because, I figured, even if I notice it, maybe my purchasers won’t; and, graciously, without asking, they offered to reprint them and gave me the originals at no cost. I say this because, I believe, when you’re upfront, forward & honest, you’ll always do better in business. A co-worker once said: “I have to be honest and tell them now, even if it means tomorrow’s results will be different. Because if I don’t and the results are the same, they’ll wonder why I didn’t tell them when I first knew.” The honesty and forthright mentality, resonated with me. I will always do right by my customers as well. When I wasn’t sure if I would go back there, that kind gesture sealed the deal & I’ll be a loyal customer of theirs.
My very sweet friend ordered salts & my mom reordered my newest blend: Italian Herb. It means the world to me that my friends & family are ordering and enjoying them. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving week! Happy Monday! Xo j 💚 Back in August, I had a hankering for spicy fried fish & chips with mushy peas....
I made a huge batch of peas...enough to freeze to make soup on a cold day. Well, today is the day💚 All I had to do was take the “thawed” mushy pea mix (about 3 cups) 4 cups of (2%) milk to thin it out 1/3 stick butter 1 cup of sliced ham. I bought flat frozen dumplings yesterday (which triggered my brain to make the soup). They are the perfect compliment this warm bowl. Most people react to the idea of pea soup with a face (🤢) ...it’s true. The difference is in the seasoning technique. Take a bland soup and season it up BEFORE it becomes soup. I use fresh frozen peas (1-2 bags) Sautee them with 1/2 stick butter Salt & Pepper to taste A pinch of red pepper flakes to zest it up. And, a dash of my House Blend! Take a cup of pease & set them aside. Mash the peas with 1/2 cup of milk and fold in the rest of the peas. Anything, that is well seasoned, will taste delicious & my littles approve....& if a kid approves, you’ve nailed it! Try something new today! Xo 💚 If you know me, you know that when I believe in something, I get on that train & ride it all the way! I believe if you put your heart & soul into a project, and feel satisfied & complete, it’s easy to want to promote it.
I couldnt be be happier with how my Seasoning salts and adult beverage “Rim Salt” have all turned out. The feedback has been nothing but positive & that sends the warm & fuzzies all throughout my being! My labels & business cards will be in next week. I’ll be putting together a gift promotion (3 for 20$ special), with gift wrapping being available for the holiday season. ***NO ORDERS*** will be taken between December 8-17. I’ll resume ordering on December 18...just in time for the Christmas rush. I’ve been using the House Blend almost daily! Try it out over a warm bowl of chili! Happy Saturday! Xo j 💚 When I completed my bachelorette degree last year, I felt complete in my nursing education. I’m a few weeks shy of forty-freaking-two years old and have no plans to continue my nursing education...and that’s perfectly ok with me. During that same time, I tried out Case Management. I remember the day I was given my box of business cards. I felt so official (insert lol 😂)! But, like with anything else in my life and due to multiple circumstances, I realized quickly that the position was not meant for me to hold any longer. I prayed, cried...cried some more and received my answer. I tried to gracefully exit that position, by giving three months notice; and, I told myself that if I went back into bedside nursing, I wanted to work in pre-operative nursing. I love welcoming patients to their surgery (as well as starting IVs...I can’t help myself)!
So, while I truly do enjoy it, there’s this internal yearning for something more. A friend once told me, after I had tried out for the Master Chef Show: “You need to keep doing ‘this’...it’s what you love & you’re good at!” Thank you for that advice because I truly believe this is for ME! Today, while I was driving home in this awful icy sleet and snowy winters mix, I got a call from the printing store. They informed me that my labels and cards were ready to go to print. As I was exiting the expressway, I drove over. After leaving, I felt my inner flame flickering a little brighter. There are so many steps involved in starting up a small business. It can be (and has been, at times, overwhelming) but I know, everything will be ok. Like Dori, I keep telling myself: “Just Keep Swimming!” I’m proud to share these business cards. Xo j 💚 PS....I haven’t given up on my food truck goals....let’s just see what we can do with this first🚐🥰 Just a pinch of my House Blend Seasoning is the perfect way to complete your dish!
