We’ve had a different-than-usual week with company here for several days (and they showed up bringing lots of food with them!) and several different generous friends stopping by our house with things like freshly picked peaches and home grown tomatoes! Yum! When I analyzed our refrigerator yesterday, I realized there was almost nothing we needed – except to eat up all kinds of leftovers. 🙂 I did make a Harris Teeter trip to snag a few good deals, but the main goal this week is to work on eating up what we already have.
Zaycon
This is the first time I’ve bought 80/20 ground beef from Zaycon, and if you’re into grilled hamburgers – this stuff is GREAT! I already buy all my chicken from Zaycon, and I’ve tried their 93/7 ground beef – all of which we love! I decided it was time to branch out a little. 😉 We’ve been enjoying the meat all week! It comes in 4 10-lb packages, so I divided it up into around 40 freezer ziplocs before freezing it. It does take some work to get it freezer ready, but it’s worth it. It normally sells for $111.60 ($2.79/lb), but I waited for Zaycon to run a “deal” on it, which they run on all their products periodically. Our family loves Zaycon, and this mama loves not having to buy meat every week at the grocery store!

I emailed Zaycon a while back after seeing you post about them asking questions about their chicken. Specifically I wanted to know was the chicken organic, grass fed, were hormones used, and what antibiotics did they use. I got a very “temp plated” response that didn’t answer any of my questions. Do you happen to know who these animals are raised & cared for? Are they processed in the United States?
How do you make peach overnight oatmeal ?
I don’t exactly follow a recipe, but you can google for one. Mix oats, almond milk, peaches, and sweetener and let it sit in fridge overnight. You can eat it cold or warm it up in the morning.
Wow! Did you do great! Thanks for sharing:)
