Melinda and the gang

Melinda and gang…thanks so much for participating! You guys are awesome. I love this picture!  How wonderful that you are continuing to keep PFM alive! You guys are AWESOME!!

Nicole over at Healthy Chow has been so great sending me pictures and updating me on your PFM progress throught the entire 9 weeks and I have loved it!  Here are her cute pics! Thanks so much Nicole! You're awesome!

Thank you for sending me your pictures guys! Keep em coming!!

I hope you all had a wonderful thanksgiving! I can't say that I'm happy to be back at work after sucha long break. I am however grateful I have a job.  It's so easy to take for granted everyday things like our jobs, homes, and the food we eat.  Sometimes it's easier to complain and feel bad about the things in life that aren't perfect, but in all reality, we have it so good!

Recommended food item week #8:  2 Cans of Veggies

I asked Dave if he'd let me take a picture of him for this weeks PFM photo. I thought it was fitting for him to be in the picture since canned green beans are the ONLY vegetable he can eat with out dry heaving.  He was so sweet to pose for the picture this morning, even when I could tell her really didn't want to!  Like most of us, Dave hated veggies when he was a little boy. Problem is, he never grew out of hating them. The taste of ALL veggies makes him quiver. He always looks at the veggies I'm eating and thinks they look pretty, but any time he gives them a try his taste buds tell him other wise.

The reason I chose green beans for my PFM donation,is just in case someone who hates veggies as much as Dave is given my cans of veggies.  Dave says that canned green beans are the mildest of all veggies and that most people who hate veggies can tolerate them. Feel free to chose any canned veggie you would like.  Since these veggies were so cheap, we picked up quite a few! Do what ever you feel comfortable doing!

I can't believe we are nearing the end of PFM. I am so excited to deliver my food to the food bank! ALSO…please don't forget to take a picture of your PFM stash before you deliver it, I'm dying to see them!!  Thank you so much for all your efforts!!  Have a wonderful week!!
