Well, I think anyone who has ever started a new business understands that it takes time to build up a clientele. Right? But, 6 weeks in, and it is starting to move. My friends are referring people, I’m getting inquiries, its happening folks!! I’m so excited. The hardest part is that I just want to share this with everyone, and I’m so excited, but you know….I’m the only one! LOL My husband hasn’t bought in yet, and he’s just being patient, but today….someone booked a flight! That is a step in the most positive direction!  I’m excited!  I have these great last minute deals, for weekend getaways, all under $250!!  That include hotel and flight!  Great isn’t it??  8-)   http://www.hrtravel.info

We had a super busy weekend for my husband’s birthday.  Oh, am I ever partied out??  Wow!  Happy Birthday honey…I love you!

So, I like to bake, but occasionally, I have to branch out into something a little bit different.  I’ve made paczki’s before, and this year I thought I’d do it again.  Sadly…..I had to try three times with 2 different recipes to make them work.  Occasionally I find a recipe on the internet that doesn’t work, and that was the case with the first two batches that I made yesterday.

Today, I tried a new recipe and have yummy yummy raspberry and custard paczki’s to eat.  The girls helped me by filling them and putting on the powdered sugar.  Yes I buck the system and tradition and prefer powdered sugar.   The ones on the left are the raspberry and custard is on the right.  They are sooo good!!  Light, fluffy on the inside and just perfect!!

I recently picked up a copy of Food Rules by Michael Pollan.  I saw him talking on Oprah the other day about the food we eat, where is comes from and how it is processed.  This book is intended to help you make better choices on what food you eat and where it should come from.  A lot of the rules are things that we all have heard or probably should know, but it is rather concise and pretty interesting to read so far.

You can read a little about this book on this site:  http://www.huffingtonpost.com/michael-pollan/food-rules-a-completely-d_b_410173.html You can purchase this book and earn cash back through my website:  http://www.thezamzuushop.com.  Just click on Go Shopping and search under books.  There are several different stores participating.  For example, you can shop through my site at Barnes and Noble.  The book costs $7.92 right now and then my company sends you a check for 3%.  Why not get cash back for your purchases?
