Rise and Shine is my way of starting the day with you – almost as if we’re chatting over a hot cup of coffee or tea! I share my favorite deals of the day, highlights from yesterday, and anything else that might help you save time, money or energy. Published in the morning on Monday through Friday – as I’m able.
Good morning! We had our first FROST here this morning. Brrrr! It’s supposed to warm up the rest of the week but it’s a cool morning around here. How are you this morning?
Yesterday I picked up a box of Zaycon chicken! I was getting down to my last few packages of chicken in the freezer, so the Zaycon event came at a great time. They have the system so organized I love that I just pull up to the refrigerated truck and I don’t even have to get out of my truck! Zaycon chicken has been my FAVORITE place to buy meat for the last 4-5 years. At first it was a little strange, ordering 40 pounds of chicken online and picking it up from a refrigerated truck in a parking lot in my community. But honestly, I’ve never been disappointed with the chicken (or other products they sell) and it truly is the best way to SAVE on meat for my family. Zaycon basically eliminates the middle man (the grocery store) and passes those savings directly to us. What do you think about Zaycon? Leave a comment and let me know!
I got an email yesterday from a longtime reader that they weren’t able to leave a comment on my site. I noticed it was awfully quiet around here – in terms of comments from you – but it turns out that there was a security firewall blocking ALL comments. I’m so sorry if you tried to comment in the last week and you were handed a big fat ERROR message. That’s completely annoying and I believe we have it fixed now. I love your comments here on the site and on Facebook.
My Pumpkin Spice French Toast was featured in a recipe round-up over on the MSN site today! You can go directly to the Pumpkin Spice French Toast recipe here. The secret ingredient is flavored pumpkin creamer – so really you could substitute any flavor creamer to spice up your traditional french toast recipe.

Glad you got the comments figured out! I just ordered the black Relic bag. How have I gone 38 years without a basic black purse?!
