Exciting box of goodies!

Who doesn't like nice surprises? Well, here is mine - a yummy box of goodness from Stewart & Jasper Orchards.  

Look all the wonderful things inside: 

I've already tried the butter toffee almonds and the dark chocolate almonds and they are both great! The dried nectarines are next : )  What will I make with the almond flour? I'm anticipating a fun and tasty weekend!

Look tempting, doesn't it? Stewart and Jasper Orchards have company stores in Newsom, Modesto and Patterson, CA. I found my box of goodies at their Monterey Cannery Row location. Friendly and helpful staff - check it out!  

Doing Laundry - Nature's Power

Sounds pretty boring, right? Well, I am excited because I'm testing a new laundry detergent today - Nature's Power. According to the label it is made with plant-derived soaps and contains no phosphates, chlorine bleach or optical brighteners or dyes. It has a lavender and eucalyptus scent and I am a big fan of lavender. Stay tuned - I'll be reporting back soon!
