Cooking With Mommy

 Originally written 12/17/22 7:07pm 12/20/22 11:08pm I almost passed up this opportunity! I mentioned in my other (one of my other) blog posts that "life" kept happening! As it usually does! I just happen to go back & review my invitations (on this platform for brands, yada) & Thistle stood out to me. I told my daughter that I didn't want to start something that I couldn't finish. I'm all ready to my limit with brands, trying to figure out what direction I want to go in with several of them. I don't know what it was, Thistle was really intriguing to me. I can't remember if it was the day of (12/14) or the day after (12/15) my surgery, I received an email from Thistle. The VERY company that I had looked at again not too long ago! 8:28pm - On paper, we are a match made in heaven! Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Plant Forward, Organic (whenever possible), environmentally sustainable, sustainable sourcing, in addition to local sourcing!!! Like, this is ALL me...

10/21/22      8:59pm  Heeeey! Hello! I miss you guys! It has been so much going on! I have been trying to figure out what to do with this blog, and how to approach it. I definitely don't want to shut it down forever (I have to admit, at one point, I was beyond tempted!)      So, the reason why I'm here is actually related to my last post, which was WAY back in MARCH!!! I have seriously been in withdrawal! I haven't had a Kate Farms Nutrition Shake in FOREVER (or so that's how it feels). Why you ask? Money! (I keep it real on ALL of my platforms! I never want anyone to think my/our situation is better than it seems; I never want anyone to think that I'm dwelling on our shortcomings for attention or sympathy! Absolutely NOT!) Anyway, I was blessed enough to be able to get more & I am ridiculously excited & happy! My only issue is what am I going to do next month (in a couple weeks) when I have my surgery. The logical answer is for me to be a res...

They have a wide variety of products that may help support the nutritional needs of those with gastrointestinal issues, food allergies, weight gain or maintenance issues, and other conditions like diabetes or during dialysis. Kate Farms also provides a meal replacement nutrition shake for overall health and maintenance. (you can find this information and more on their website) 3/14/22 3:53pm Very similar to the mushroom coffee, I saw an ad; with this particular company I shared the ad on my story (Instagram) and they reached out to me. I will have to say I/we had SO MANY issues in the beginning, I truly was less than 2 secs from giving up. I tend to have what I call “the rule of 3” - if you try 3xs and it doesn’t happen after those 3xs, whatever the situation is, it’s usually not meant to happen. I had already hit that 3rd time, ...

Hello 👋🏾, how are you guys? I'm trying to put my foot in the door 🚪 . I'm trying to ease back into this "blogger situation. I will start with a Company that is new to me. (This blog post like ALL the others are NOT sponsored... Though that would be nice. 😏) I saw the ad for this company several times on various social media sites and really never paid it any attention... Because I don't care for ads. The ad that caught my attention included the fact that for every however much they donate a meal 🍴. I personally like companies that care about the world 🗺, whether it's recycling ♻ (that's a huge plus ➕ for me), donating food 🍲, water, clothes, etc. Another big plus for me was the fact that everything is Organic. I do not on any level agree with GMOs. In addition to those awesome stats...... (which took me forever to believe) EVERYTHING IS ONLY $3!!!! Please tell me where are yo...
