Chocolate!!




**This is a non-compensated posts, on behalf of USAFamily, the company will be sending us one pound of chocolate to help facilitate a future review of the product.  

Time was when Marie Cavanaugh spent hours in her South Dakota farmhouse each Christmas season making pecan rolls and homemade chocolates for holiday gifting.

"It started when my aunt sent her pecan-rolls recipe," Mrs. Cavanaugh recalled. "I gave the recipe my own touch and started making the yummy specialties. Then I began dipping chocolates. Our friends and neighbors loved these treats, encouraging me to start a candy business. Finally, I decided it might be a good idea.'"

Her husband George and children Carla, Lorraine, Calvin, Colene and Genise rallied, helping Mrs. Cavanaugh fill demands for her homemade sweets.

...In 1972, the family moved to Utah, leaving good friends and their beloved cattle ranch. 

"It was a difficult decision, especially for George," Mrs. Cavanaugh said. "He was excited about making our new venture, which we chose to call Mrs. Cavanaugh's Candies, a great success. We felt Utah was blessed with good chocolates and that we would enjoy - and could compete with - those who pride themselves on making excellent chocolates."

Millions of pounds of chocolates later, Mrs. Cavanaugh's candies have earned a reputation for unquestionable excellence....Ask chocolate aficionados. They will direct those seeking the best chocolates to the popular Mrs. Cavanaugh's Candies. You guys get to receive Buy 1 lb Get 1 lb FREE of Mrs. Cavanaugh's Chocolates!!

KeVita Master Brew Kombucha


**Disclosure:  I was provided with coupons for free product to help facilitate this feature.  This is my personal opinion, your opinion may very.  

Are you still recovering from Halloween and wiped out like me?  In our family, once we get home from taking the kids trick or treating, we pour out all their candy and go trough it.  As we go through it, we separate the chocolate from the non-chocolate candy.  And yes, there is a reason for separating.....lol shhh....my husband and I will sit up after the kids go to bed, watch a scary movie and go on a candy splurge lol!!  We all know that sugar just wipes us out - so you can imagine that my husband and I are just so tired and our bodies just feel so weighed down.   A friend of the families makes homemade Kombucha daily.  I only wish I had the motivation to do so! So I go to the next best thing - already brewed store bought Master Brew Kombucha. 

KeVita is a refreshing and lightly sparkling probiotic drink.  It's a refreshing, low calorie, probiotic drink made with four strains of live probiotics making it unlike any other drink on store shelves.  KeVita Sparkling Probiotic Drink, recently named one of the 25 Most Innovative Consumer and Retail Brands by Forbes, is a delicious vitality in every sip.  At the heart of KeVita is its proprietary culture with four strains of live probiotics handcrafted in its own facility in my home state of Southern California.  KeVita is certified organic, Non-GMO Project Verified, dairy free, gluten free and vegan.  KeVita is available in the refrigerated cold case at local co-ops, natural foods stores and select grocers nationwide. 

If you have tried Kombucha on it's own, it's definitely has it's own flavor, it's either something you can or cannot drink.  It does have a strong resemblance to a wine cooler which is why it originally threw me off.  But, luckily there are different flavors such as Blueberry Cherry, Coconut Strawberry, Tangerine and Hibiscus.  I finally did find one that I could drink which had pineapple in it which took away some of the wine cooler taste and more of a pineapple juice taste.  So if you don't mind that kind of taste, you will def love all the different flavors, if not, I would stick with one like pineapple - def one to try first for that quick pick me up.

Duck Dynasty, the big hit that has swept the nation has now provided a full  Kings James Version, The Duck Commander, Faith and Family Bible from Phil and Al Robertson.  As you open this Bible you are welcomed with a personal welcome note from Phil and Al Robertson.  You will also find 125 articles on the top 24 most searched topics on Bible Gateway with life application and scripture references that supplement each article.   My favorite part of the Bible is the 30 days of life changing testimonials.

The life changing testimonials by Phil and Al were touching, really made you think a bit, convicting for sure.  Reading this Bible, you get more in touch with Phil and Al.  You get to know them more as people, not just TV stars.   Did you know Al has served full time in the ministry for over 22 years now and is the only beardless brother in the family?!  If you are like me, sometimes it can get discouraging to read the Bible because it's so big and sometimes can be a bit hard to understand.  There are five core values that the Robertson family lives by - Faith, Family, Fellowship, Forgiveness, and freedom.  There are two list, one for Al and one for Phil that follow 52 days of insight into their family values and it's nice to get a different perspective from a father / son duo.  This is a really great Bible, my husband loves it! It's easy to ready and with all the extras it is very cost affordable compared to other Bibles.   The only thing I would change is the version, we are not fans of the Kings James Version, so I wish it came in different versions as we are each accustomed to.  Other than that it's definitely a great Bible that would make a great gift for any Duck Dynasty fan this holiday season!
