Good Morning All,
I received my very first package from MJ Farms yesterday.
After reading MJ's thread about how things have dramtically slowed down, I decided that I was long overdue in ordering and sampling some of her foods.
Well, I got my box yesterday of an assortment of things like brownies, chili, a few task bars, some budget mix etc. kind of a smattering of things.
And lo and behold there's a lovely note inside from MJ saying it looked as if I was a fan of chocolate so she'd put in a few "extra" goodies that she thought I'd like!
I was overwhelmed by her generosity. The chocolate bars were to die for they were so good and there were a few other surprise things she's popped in my box to try too!
I enjoyed everything I ate yesterday, which was the chili and the chocolate almond/coconut bar (the whole thing!) and decided then and there that I'd like to do gift baskets for my family this coming christmas with a smattering of MJ foods inside.
I will continue to buy her products and am excited about branching out and trying more of her items next time. Hmmm, I need new bath towels.
What are your favorite foods as well as other MJ products?
I'd love to hear and it'll help me choose what to buy next!

Thanks Alee!
From your list I have (but haven't tried yet)
the jambalaya
bare burrito
mushroom couscous
I also ordered the chili, which was good but I think I need to put less water in it, it was kind of runny.
AND I think I'll try the:
eat your veggies pasta (that looks yummy)
potato soup
This is great. Just like Christmas. That chocolate, almond & coconut candy bar is something I'm going to have to stock up on!
Do you think when I open my little tea house in Chicago, that I can sell MJ's foods in my little store section? Wouldn't that be AWESOME!?

Hey girls...I finally put in my order. I ordered the calendar, notecards, and chocolate bars for hubby. I was thinking about ordering some of the food stuff, but doctor put me on sodium restrictions. It all looks very yummy and from what you guys said. Now I just got to wait like an excited kid waiting for Christmas morning like Linda mentioned. :)

Hi Katie,
Yes it's been a big idea of mine for a while. I'd like to open a little tea house, kind of L.A. style, aka zen-country girl. LOL!
I'd like to open it in the Lincoln Square area. It's a ways off maybe 2 years or less but I'm gearing up for it! Are you near by?
It would be lovely to have a friend when I make my move.

Hi Sherri,
For the life of me I can't remember. Frannie, Miss Wilma? Do you recall which thread it was where MaryJane talked about how much things had slowed down?
I'll keep looking.
