Some cool stuff!!

OK - so I received this email a couple of months ago from a lady at work and didn't think anything of it until the last couple of days. She was passing on information about something called a food "co-op". I was cleaning out my email box when I rediscovered this email. I looked into it a little bit more - and can I just say WOW!! For all of those out there who like a good deal and are into saving lots of money on groceries - check this out!

You place your order by the middle of the month and at the end of the month you go and pick up your food. They have different things available every month but it is all fresh and I pay about half the cost. The best part about it is that there is no income requirement and it is all run by volunteers. You have to agree to volunteer two hours a month doing anything (helping at the co-op, helping at your kids school, scouts, other church callings, etc..) and that is basically your payment for the service. Neat concept that has apparently been going on for some time. So... try it out and let me know what you think!

Also, I found a new great recipe for all of those who are not interested in heating up your kitchen. I saw this on Good Things Utah and thought I would give it a try. Everybody loved it!! - Including picky Thomas who even ate the burrito with lettuce. So here is the recipe (side note... Best place to buy rotisserie chicken is at Costco or Sam's club because it is the best price as well as I just used the cheapest BBQ sauce I found at the store - and it was great!) Also - it does feed more than 4 people as suggested as well as you can make it go further by adding more beans and corn - whatever suits your fancy!

Enjoy everyone!!!
