COOMBS FAMILY FARMS Maple Goodies Review & GIVEAWAY

Fall is here and Maple always tastes so good in the fall. I guess because of all the warm oatmeal and pancake breakfasts. Plus it's rich, sweet, warm, earthy flavor just seems right in Fall.

We have a small sugarhouse not far from here and I remember touring it when I was young. It was neat to watch the process, from taking a drink of the sap straight from the tree, to having a warm cube of maple sugar. Good memories!

It takes 40 gallon of sap to make one gallon of syrup! So I know you all will appreciate this golden treat from the trees.

Plus Maple syrup has health benefits!! Yes - Maple syrup, as an excellent source of manganese and a good source of zinc, which can be sweet for your health.
*Maple Syrup Is Sweet On Your Heart

*Maple Syrup Benefits Your Immune Systems

*Men Benefit From Maple Syrup Reproductively

And, Maple syrup is not a commonly allergenic food and is not known to contain measurable amounts of goitrogens, oxalates, or purines.

For seven generations, Coombs Family Farms has produced 100% pure, great tasting, maple syrup by taking special care of their ancient maple trees. My grandfather said, "There are no shortcuts to creating pure maple syrup,do right by the forest, and it'll do right by you." Today, they continue this approach, and proudly support other small maple farmers who share our commitment to quality, environmental stewardship, and sustainable forestry.

"Do Right Right By the Forest, and It'll Do Right By You" - Coombs Family

I love to support companies who are conscience of the environment and who give back. I will continue to look for and purchase Coombs Family Farms products.

Speaking of products, they offer Maple Syrup of course in four grades, Pure Maple Candy, Pure Maple Sugar, and Pancake Mixes. Yummo :)

I personally love the Organic Maple Sugar. It comes in a shaker and I am really loving to shake it on a buttered sweet potato - sooo good.

So what do ya say we get to the really fun part?

WIN IT!!!

The wonderful people at Coombs Family Farms is giving away a sweet Maple prize pack! One winner will receive an 8oz. Grade B pure maple syrup, a 6.10 oz. Pure Maple Sugar, and some maple candy.

Ingredients:
Certified Organic Flax Seed Blend

NEW2600mg Organic Flax & Organic Flax Lignans per serving, rich in ALA Omega 3. Our Organic Flax seed is RCM (Real Cold Milled) Flax™. It is no secret that standard milling or grinding of flax has produced a product that usually spoils rapidly. There are two main reasons conventionally milled flax spoils or oxidizes so rapidly. First of all, the conventional milling process creates temperatures that are too high. Several processors use the words "cold milled" to describe product but studied closely, their product almost always heats up during the milling or grinding process. Second of all, the conventional processing actually liberates or expels oil that coats the ground particles creating a substantial increase in the surface area of the milled flax. The high temperatures and oil coated particles alone or in combination produce a product that turns rancid or oxidizes in a relatively short period of time. RCM Flax™ is truly a cold milled product and process. The flax enters the RCM process at room temperature, is milled at room temperature and it exits at room temperature. Furthermore, this proprietary milling method does not grind, crush or liberate oil like other processes, making Antioxidant Natural Greens very unique. Tests have shown that RCM Flax™ maintains a very high peroxide value and a very long shelf life for up to two years!

Flax Lignans are phytonutrients found in the flax seed hull which include SDG (Secoisolariciresinol diglucoside). Antioxidant Natural Greens contain only pure, mechanically separated organic flax lignans. Studies indicate these lignans have tremendous health benefits which help boost the immune system. It has also been concluded that these lignans act as anti-oxidants which further enhance immune system functioning.

*Concentrate Ionic Trace Minerals

Ionic minerals are in a form that the body recognizes and understands. Therefore, they easily cross through the selectively permeable cell membranes. Your body requires nearly two thirds of all the elements currently known to man in order to maintain health. Antioxidant Natural Greens help balance this incredibly vital task.

*Spirulina

Spirulina is a freshwater algae containing an incredible source of nutrients. It provides generous amounts of Beta-Carotene, Vitamin B-12, Iron and Chlorophyll. Spirulina also has the highest protein of any natural food and contains more antioxidants than most regular whole foods.

*ChlorellaThis green single-cell freshwater algae is a rich and balanced source of many nutrients that are essential to health. Chlorella contains high levels of chlorophyll, vitamin B12, beta-carotene and RNA/DNA when compared with other whole-foods. More than 20 vitamins and minerals are found in chlorella, including iron, calcium, potassium, magnesium, phosphorous, pro-vitamin A, vitamins B1, B2, B5, B6 and B12, biotin, inositol, folic acid, plus vitamins C, E and K.

*Apple Fiber Pectin

Apple Pectin is helpful in maintaining good digestive health.*
LecithinLecithin is a rich source of choline, which is necessary for the body to make acetyl choline, the neurotransmitter needed for normal nerve function.* Note: this is NOT soy lecithin.

*Licorice Root Extract

Next to ginseng, licorice is the most popular herb used in Chinese formulas. Licorice contains triterpenoid saponins, flavanoids, isoflavanoids, magnesium, silicon, sodium and other beneficial constituents. Licorice root is known to support the immune system and the adrenal glands.

*Please note: Elderly persons or those suffering from cardiovascular disease, liver or kidney problems or potassium deficiency should consult their health care professional before consuming licorice root. This product is also offered without licorice root extract.

*Bifidobacterium longum

(B. Longum)B. Longum is a probiotic bacteria which has shown to offer many health benefits. They are a natural part of the bacterial flora in the human body and have a symbiotic bacteria-host relationship with humans. B. Longum promotes good digestion, boosts the immune system, and produces lactic and acetic acid that controls intestinal pH.

*L. Acidophilus (L. Acidophilus)Lactobacillus acidophilus is widely used in many probiotic supplements. Many studies have confirmed its beneficial effects for favorable altering the intestinal microflora balance, inhibiting growth of harmful bacteria, boosting immune functions, promoting good digestion, and increasing the bodies natural immune system.

*Lactobacillus casei (L. Casei)L. Casei is a beneficial probiotic culture.

What is the Enzyme Blend Useful For?

Enzymes help our body break-down undigested food.

* Certain digestive plant enzymes help break down certain food materials, such as:
*Proteases: breaks down proteins

*Amylases: breaks down carbohydrates/starch

*Lipases: breaks down fats

*Cellulases: breaks down fiber

*Lactases: breaks down milk sugar

I am currently drinking the mint with licorice. I like mine with a lemon wedge squeezed in :) Yummy and fresh. I'm big into health and really enjoy drinking anything with this much nutritional and health value. It makes me feel good knowing all that good stuff is going into my body. It will make you feel good too!

WIN IT!!

One very lucky winner will win a full size of your choice of flavor - mint or berry, with or without licorice.

Spooner by Pete Dexter review & GIVEAWAY!!! 5 WINNERS!!!

Warren Spooner was born after a prolonged delivery in a makeshift delivery room in a doctor's office in Milledgeville, Georgia, on the first Saturday of December, 1956. His father died shortly afterward, long before Spooner had even a memory of his face, and was replaced eventually by a once-brilliant young naval officer, Calmer Ottosson, recently court-marshaled out of service. This is the story of the lifelong tie between the two men, poles apart, of Spooner's troubled childhood, troubled adolescence, violent and troubled adulthood and Calmer Ottosson's inexhaustible patience, undertaking a life-long struggle to salvage his step-son, a man he will never understand.

"What can you do when your twin brother, dead at birth, is your mother's favorite? This is only one of the burdens placed on young Warren Spooner, the hero of National Book Award-winner Dexter's calamitously funny and riotously tragic new novel. Spooner, who tends toward a life of criminal mischief, turns out to be a baseball phenom, but after an elbow injury puts an end to his pitching career, he ends up a newspaper reporter in Philadelphia, where he's so universally disliked that firing him is at the top of his editor's to-do list. Spooner eventually settles down, becomes a columnist and published novelist, and starts a family. He is dogged, though, by a combination of bad luck and bad judgment, and eventually retreats to Whidbey Island, off the coast of Washington State, where he learns that good fences don't necessarily make good neighbors. Spooner's story is juxtaposed with that of his stepfather, Calmer Ottosson, a naval officer turned high school principal, whose dedication to his family is in direct contrast to his stepson's bellicose adventures. Although raggedly plotted, the rambunctious narrative is filled with hilarious scenes, including a naval burial at sea that goes horribly awry, a literary luncheon featuring Spooner and Margaret Truman that ends with a stampede of little old ladies, and a misguided act of vengeance that backfires and puts Spooner in the hospital. The novel's premise — that life is one big vale of tears and that writing about it wittily and exuberantly is the best one can do — might not work in real life, but it pays off in spades for Dexter and his tragicomically conflicted alter ego. (Sept.)" Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)

"Pete Dexter, writing of the part played by love in the exuberant life of his hero, Spooner, and the fatal inevitability of the compromises that make life bearable, has given us a novel of picaresque vitality — outlandish, anecdotal, profuse, funny, profound." Susanna Moore, author of My Old Sweetheart and In the Cut.


Pete Dexter is the author of the National Book Award-winning novel Paris Trout and five other novels: God's Pocket, Deadwood, Brotherly Love, The Paperboy, and Train. He has been a columnist for the Philadelphia Daily News and the Sacramento Bee, and has contributed to many magazines, including Esquire, Sports Illustrated, and Playboy. His screenplays include Rush and Mulholland Falls. Dexter was born in Michigan and raised in Georgia, Illinois, and eastern South Dakota. He lives on an island off the coast of Washington.

The Murder of King Tut by James Patterson Win 5 copies!!

-The Plot to Kill the Child King - A Nonfiction Thriller -

A secret buried for centuries

Thrust onto Egypt's most powerful throne at the age of nine, King Tut's reign was fiercely debated from the outset. Behind the palace's veil of prosperity, bitter rivalries and jealousy flourished among the Boy King's most trusted advisors, and after only nine years, King Tut suddenly perished, his name purged from Egyptian history. To this day, his death remains shrouded in controversy.

The keys to an unsolved mystery

Enchanted by the ruler's tragic story and hoping to unlock the answers to the 3,000 year-old mystery, Howard Carter made it his life's mission to uncover the Pharaoh's hidden tomb. He began his search in 1907, but encountered countless setbacks and dead-ends before he finally, uncovered the long-lost crypt.

The clues point to murder

Now, in The Murder of King Tut, James Patterson and Martin Dugard dig through stacks of evidence--X-rays, Carter's files, forensic clues, and stories told through the ages--to arrive at their own account of King Tut's life and death. The result is an exhilarating true crime tale of intrigue, passion, and betrayal that casts fresh light on the oldest mystery of all.

About the Author

He is the author of the two most popular detective series of the past decade, featuring Alex Cross and the Women's Murder Club, and he has written numerous other #1 bestsellers. He lives in Florida.

"The Palace of Strange Girls" by Sallie Day book Giveaway 5 winners!

Blackpool, England, 1959. The Singleton family is on holiday. For seven-year-old Beth, just out of the hospital, this means struggling to fill in her 'I-Spy' book and avoiding her mother Ruth's eagle-eyed supervision. Her sixteen-year-old sister Helen, meanwhile, has befriended a waitress whose fun-loving ways hint at a life beyond Ruth's strict rules.

But times are changing. As foreman of the local cotton mill, Ruth's husband, Jack, is caught between unions and owners whose cost-cutting measures threaten an entire way of life. And his job isn't the only thing at risk. When a letter arrives from Crete, a secret re-emerges from the rubble of Jack's wartime past that could destroy his marriage.

As Helen is tempted outside the safe confines of her mother's stern edicts with dramatic consequences, an unexpected encounter inspires Beth to forge her own path. Over the holiday week, all four Singletons must struggle to find their place in the shifting world of promenade amusements, illicit sex, and stilted afternoon teas in this touching and evocative novel.

I haven't finished yet, but it is one that I can't wait to pick back up. Although like comparing apples & oranges, Strange Girls gives me the same feeling of reading The Ya Ya Sisterhood, which was magical for me. So let me finish here so I can get back to the book!
