Mom's B-day!

Today my mother turns a young 50! Yes, you herd right I have a 50 year old mother. Now that I am so close to 30 I really think that this is YOUNG. That is so funny to me because when I was younger I can remember thinking that 25 was super old. Oh, how the times change. My mother is one of the hardest working people that I know. She so deserves to have a really great day. Something that has REALLY upset me this morning was this:

I noticed last night that my car was driving that well. Kinda bumpy. It was dark so there was really nothing that I could do about looking around the car. So this morning when I got to work and got out of my car I took a look at my tires. This is what I found....My tires are bald. All of them need to be replaced but especially the front ones. I am so upset. This means that I will not be able to be there for my mom's 50th birthday. I called around this morning and found that they would have to order my tire size. There is a place in Warner Robins that could do them but that would mean that I would need to drive 2 and a half hours on bald front tires and I am just afraid. I dont want to risk it. Should I just drive slow? I think I know the answer to this one. I do have the gift with me and unless something great happens I will have to run to Fed Ex to get the present overnighted. I am so down right now. I wish that there was something that I could do. I hate it when things like this happen but I have to admit that I do listen to signs when they occur. Anyway, I needed to vent this morning and so it goes.

I do however have a review that is going to knock your socks off!!!

I got a sweet package the other day and over the weekend I was able to try them all out. This is going to be good, so sit back and relax!

I got three count em THREE lovely products from:

The first product that I got was this one!

While sauerkrauts and cultured vegetables have been used as healthful food in various cultures around the world, most commercially available sauerkraut's are processed with heat that eliminates the naturally occurring enzymes and micro flora that are so beneficial to the digestive tract. Rejuvenative Foods Raw Sauerkraut is a handcrafted fresh cultured vegetable, high in fiber and low in fat, that is handmade with great care to provide a flavorful, rich source of enzymes and lactobacilli (a micro flora, naturally implanted by mother's milk, normally present in a healthy human digestive tract). We begin by grinding fresh, raw cabbage which we then allow to culture in stainless steel containers for five to seven days. No water, salt or vinegar is added.

I will admit...This jar was opened when I got it. It kind leaked in the box but I put it right in the fridge and hoped that it would be ok. I tasted it right away and was blown away at the amazing taste! I am not a huge sauerkraut fan but I have to say I ate this just by it's self and it was great. If I had a tofu dog laying around I would have totally loaded it up with is stuff and mustard. Luckily, I still have some so that will be sure to be had!

The second thing that I tried was this:

Kim-Chi has been a staple of the Korean diet for centuries. It is made from fresh, shredded, unheated vegetables which are put into stainless steel containers and left to culture for five to seven days. No water or vinegar is added. These delicious, high-fiber, low-fat, unheated, organic, cultured vegetables are one of the richest sources of lactobacilli and enzymes available. Lactobacilli are probiotic micro flora, naturally implanted by mother's milk, normally present in a healthy human digestive tract.

I have never tried Kim Chi before and I am so glad that I was able to try this brand FIRST! I think that I got the best Kim Chi around and now that my standards are so high I doubt that anyone's elses will eb able to compare. I kid you not, this is a fantastic side dish if you are having a stir fry of any kind!

Last but certainly not least was Raw Almond Butter. Ok you know you had me when you said that you were sending me Almond Butter. Who doesn't like Almond Butter? Well I don't just like it....I LOVED it. OH MY GAWD. This (and I will say right now I have gone through a MILLION jars of nut butters) was the BEST I ever had. Not kidding you folks. You MUST try this if you dare.

Rejuvenative organic almond butter is freshly ground two or three times to keep the temperature low and the nuts raw. This process maintains flavor, nutrients and minerals as well as the inherent enzymes or life energy. The final product is immediately refrigerated to bring you a delicious nut butter that is guaranteed to taste and feel better than high-temperature roasted and/or ground nut and seed butters.

I give Rejuvenative Foods a A+. This company knows what it is doing and I have got to say YOU GUYS ROCK! I REALLY want to try their Tahini and Pecan Butter more than anything. If you dont believe how great they truly are by my post then just take a peak at their site....You will not be sorry that you did!

Thank you Lisa for sending me such awesome products. If there is anything else that you would like for me to review on my blog I would be MORE than happy to do so. I am now not only a fan but HOOKED!

I would just like to leave you guys today with a few facts about Raw Living Foods and the benefits.

What is it about Raw Cultured Vegetables that enhances health? Raw Cultured Vegetables are delicious and provide an excellent self-rejuvenating source of non-dairy lactobacilli, including acidophilus and lactobacillus plantarum, important for the maintenance of healthy intestinal flora and the alleviation of digestive disorders. This is important for people who are lactose intolerant, have pathologies that prevent the consumption of dairy or simply choose to avoid it.

What is it about Rejuvenative Foods' Nut and Seed Butters that is so special? Our freshness-dated, raw, refrigerated Nut and Seed Butters are special because they are unheated (not roasted) and still have life energy, vitamins and minerals that are further retained as a result of immediate refrigeration and assured freshness that you know of by our 9 month "best if sold before" date. Ask for Rejuvenative Foods Nut and Seed Butters by name, as you would cold processed oil. An important aspect of retention of life energy is: We monitor temperature during grinding so that heat friction doesn't cook our nuts and seeds.

So with all this being said....I am sold! I hope you all have a chance to try out one of their products as this company is amazing!

Have a wonderful day. I am going to try and see what I can do about this tire situation.
