As you may have noticed there are quite a few Thrive Express meals and side dishes to choose from. This week’s selection is Broccoli Cheese Soup.

Stop Perpetuating the $300 for One Year of Food Myth!
This is really beginning to drive me nuts. I keep seeing aggregations sites (those that do nothing but share other bloggers work… yes, I do plenty of that myself) continue to perpetuate ridiculous claims like the belief that you can purchase $300 worth of food that’s enough to sustain you for one FULL year and, believe it…

THRIVE Scrambled Egg Mix
Eggs, along with dairy (such as cheese, milk, etc) and meat are among the more important foods to include in your food storage but are also difficult to add yourself. That is, it’s not very easy or recommended for safety reasons to try and dehydrate eggs or cheese, for example. Commercially-packaged options are without a…

Homemade Breadsticks: Better Than Olive Garden Breadsticks!
Last week I showed how we make 6-ingredient DIY whole wheat bread. Not only did we make more of that delicious bread that you really should try if you haven’t done so yet, we wound up making some super delicious homemade breadsticks too. These happen to be my father-in-laws “super secret” recipe… or something like…
