I happen to receive about 10 million emails a day and I really do try to get through all of them but honestly it would be impossible for me to reply personally to each one, otherwise emailing people would be all that I do. However, from time to time, people are persistent or the timing is right and I read an email that grabs me, yanks me in, and doesn’t let me go. That was the case with a recent email sent to me by Travis Martinez, owner of TX Bar Organics.

My boys love Sweet Potato Hash for breakfast but frankly, I’m kind of tired of it, so last weekend I decided to make my pile of freshly grated potatoes into sweet potato pancakes, or latkes if you will. We topped the savory sweet cakes with bacon and fried eggs. Yum.
Wow, I can’t believe it’s almost here. Christmas again. I really do love the holidays but I always find myself feeling nostalgic and a bit emotional as we head towards the 25th of December. I miss the simplicity of how it used to be when I was little; when my mom was still with us and the innocence of not knowing that someday we would have to face Christmas without her.

I am not a blogger who typically blogs about products because otherwise, products would end up being the only thing I ever blogged about, BUT holy cow, Steve’s Original is not just another paleo product, it’s a phenomenal company making incredibly tasty food and giving back to children who need help, guidance, and hope for a solid future.
