WONDERFUL RECIPE from NOW FOODS! WE CARRY EVERY INGREDIENT ON THIS LIST and most are NOW products, including stevia sweetened chocolate chips and dried cherries ( suggested to add at the end)!! Making this Cinnamon Cayenne Trail Mix is a form of self-care! AD Our friend Dana of instagram.com/eats2know used NOW pantry staples like unsalted raw nuts and seeds, maple syrup, oil of choice (olive, avocado, or coconut work here) vanilla, and spices to make this versatile mix. See recipe below:

1 cup of pumpkin seeds
1 cup of pecans
1 cup of cashews
2 cups of almonds
2 tablespoons of oil choice (I used olive)
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ teaspoons sea salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

Make it your own by adjusting nuts and seeds and/ or toppings. Amazing as is or add some sweet fun: when cooled add 1/2 cup chocolate chips + 1/2 cup dried cherries. For a sweeter mix use 4 TBSP maple syrup. For a spicier mix use 1/2 tsp of cayenne.

Instructions: combine wet ingredients and spices in a bowl before evenly coating the nut and seed mixture (on parchment lined baking sheet). Bake at 325 for 25 - 30 minutes, checking to stir it occasionally to make sure it is evenly coated and doesn't burn. When cooled, add optional extras. Enjoy as is or on your favorite smoothie, yogurt bowl, ice cream, or popcorn.

WE MADE IT!!!

Relaxing with coffee before I get ready for work. After today, we're closed on Sunday and Monday. When I return on Tuesday, March 1st, we'll begin a month long celebration of 40 years of business. This may not seem like much, but Saginaw can be a brutal market. Though many days and occurances have brought me to my knees, I guess what hasn't killed me has made me stronger. Forgive me if, next month, I occasionally shout "40 years!!" from the rooftop. Frankly, I can't believe we've made it.

We're busy ticketing our biggest sale ever with many products being discounted as much as 40%, to celebrate our 40th business anniversary, in March! Leave it to Follow Your Heart, makers of Veganaise, to make an absolutely delicious (we sampled it) vegan, sliced, smoked Gouda! I MEAN GOURMET!! Pre ticketed today! You want it! Come and get it!! Regular price $7.09, Sale $ 4.25!

I'm at work composing the news letter for March, which marks 40 years of business. Thinking about all the good and bad over the years and, surprisingly, getting a little emotional. Grateful to still be around.

It's happening!!

June 8, 2022 Jazz on Jefferson!

Good morning! All of the supplements in our sale flier this month are 40% off, in anticipation of our 40th business anniversary, next month!!! This includes NOW Vitamin D3 -5,000 IU's, 120 gel caps (a big four month supply)! Regularly $12.99, Sale price $7.99!!! Remember our motto over the last few months: "don't let your guard down!" We're open from 10:00 to 3:00 today. Hope to see you soon!!

Please keep in mind that if you're eating a low carb, high protein or keto diet, you're probably ingesting alot of higher acidic foods and not much that is alkaline. One way to introduce some alkalinity is by drinking alkalized water. Water should be what a body takes in, in the highest volume. We are very well stocked with Alkaline 88, available in gallons, 1.5 liters and 20 ouncers with a pop up top. Ten percent discount on case purchases! We open at 10:00. Hope to see you soon!

Midday break.

Waking up to a hot shower and very dry electric heat, in a hotel this morning. Thank goodness I brought my all natural moisturizer by Zillions & Co. A combo of organic coconut oil, shea butter and cocoa butter, this product is made right here in Saginaw, Michigan! These temps and blasting furnaces call for the big guns, not light summery lotions! We open back up for the week tomorrow at 10:00! Come get some Zillions! Your skin will thank you!!

Paul discussing running the store this morning: I think I'll wear my black jeans to work. Me: just wear sweats. Paul: but all my sweats are kind of trashed. Me: who cares? Paul: yeah, maybe I won't even shave. Me: there ya go, just bathe. He'll be there to open at 10:00, Lord willing.

A huge thank you to NOW Foods for donating a WONDERFUL selection of products, for our drawing in March, to celebrate 40 years of business! We're so grateful to have partnered with you, decades ago, and beyond thankful for your generosity

It's finally February! If you receive our snail mail news letter, hopefully it's arrived by now! We have lots of great deals!

We can't throw a huge open house like in past years but distributors are sending some fabulous gifts for door prizes. Sign up for the drawing between March 1st through 31st. You could be a lucky winner of some REALLY great stuff!

Good morning and happy Sunday! I'm busy meal prepping a 100% organic meal that will stretch into Monday as well. We're low carbing these days so this will be served over riced cauliflower instead of rice or tortillas. Here's two great products that we carry to help you with pure meal solutions: organic ground beef from local distributor Old World Farms LLC and organic mild taco simmering sauce from Frontier Co-op ! We open back.up at 10:00 a.m. Tuesday! Be blessed customers, family and friends!

This is the LOCAL maker of our Heritage Natural Foods tee shirts and vintage Saginaw caps. Ladies and gentlemen, meet Gabrielle from Thrive Creative Innovations ! She's so cool! Meet the Maker👇🏽✨

Haven’t done one of these before so…

I’m Gabrielle, the “maker” behind Thrive 👋🏽

I’ve always been passionate about art & creating. I initially started studying interior design at CMU and later I learned all about working with vinyl, making tshirts & signage at an old job back in 2016.

From there I started combining my love for art with the apparel I was making…

I eventually wanted to make art and apparel that was affordable and unique for people in my community. Art isn’t always easily accessible or inexpensive so I felt there was a need for that here in Saginaw.

I haven’t exactly always felt like I was fully thriving in life so the name “Thrive” was sort of a manifestation I was trying to set for myself. Creating more and more was helping me grow and get through life’s ups and downs. I believe art can really do that for people.

So 6 years later I’m here! I taught my self screen printing to improve product quality. I officially registered Thrive as a business this month. I started working for Thrive full time and am focusing on my passion, art & creating.

Thank you to everyone that has followed my journey from paintings, collage prints, patterns, all the way to screen printing. I appreciate you.

I have a feeling 2022 is going to be a great year to Thrive ✨
