The Newest technology in Food. . . invented in Arkansas!

Alert the Press!  Sound the Alarms!  Horray for Healthy Easy Food!

A friend, and local Fayettevillian has trumped the food market with her new invention that has JUST hit Wal-Mart (currently only in Joyce street location).

Imagine a meal that is tasty, quick, AND healthy.  Introducing the newest food cooking technology, the "SmartPouch".  A meal in a pouch- straight out of the freezer-to microwave.  You say it's been done?  Not, and here is the kicker, 100% Natural without ANY preservatives.  Yes, I said it!

These babies are raw, flash frozen and preservative free.  The time per pouch/serving ranges from 5min- 6:30min.  Each mini meal is cooked in a popcorn-esque pouch with a special vent.

Last night Roe and I tested two kinds.

First go:  I'm skeptical.  Salmon Florentine Alfredo with Salmon, Pasta, Peas, Spinach and Sauce

The directions were to take one of the two pouches out and place in microwave for 5:15 minutes.  Then let it sit in the micro for 1 minute. 

the "SmartPouch"

I skipped the one minute wait in the microwave, I had a hungry baby!

 It didn't work!!  Raw salmon, eewwww.

I was veloosing hope fast. . . . but since I had one left I decided to try again- except I was going to complete the measely one minute wait.

Eureka!  It worked!!

And it was good!

Seal of approval.

We really enjoyed our quick natural meals.  The only setback is that the indivudual packs are kind of small portions so hungry folks you might want two.  (They come packaged in two packs, priced at $5.48)  Also, the only dishes available currently are Tilpia, Salmon, and Shrimp dishes.  But this is just the preliminary stages, meals with meats are already scheduled for production, my insider tells me, as are larger portions.

I know I can't wait until Sam's gets bulk in stock!  Even the husband enjoyed his quicky meal when he got home!

We also tried the Tilapia. . . it was my favorite.


Find them in the seafood freezer section of the Joyce Wal-Mart.  And enjoy a healthier way of eating! 

We love steps in the right direction at VSMOBLEY!

Our House Fire

Two weeks before Christmas we had a house fire on the VSMOBLEY farm.  We lost the farmhouse and almost everything in it.  The wind-fueled fire moved on to the forest surrounding.  After several hours of fire-fighting by my husband and fellow volunteer fire-fighters, the fire ceased. . . . and our new life began.


The Library



We got out of the house safely.  In very stylish pajamas.  And in the last few months we have had many friends and family offer support to help ease our recovery.

This blog has now turned into an inspiration/thinking board.  I want to document the trials, tribulations, and hair brained ideas that come out of me as my family begins again.

Wish me luck!
