Christus LiveWell Women's Conference THIS SAT! (DTEFM NEXT SAT!)

Welcome BACK!!!!! WE HAVE SOME NEW NEWS!!!!!

 THIS SATURDAY, MAY 9, 2015, 7:30AM-4:30PM: Chrystal (Cave-Momma) Lundy will be one of the guest speakers at the 8th Annual Christus LiveWell Women's Conference at Ford Park Arena in Beaumont, Tx (along with keynote speakers: Giuliana Rancic & Bill Rancic).
 The conference includes a full day of inspiring and educational workshop sessions designed to empower women to improve their physical, spiritual and mental health. The event also includes free health screenings, a fabulous Market Square shopping area (WHERE CAVE-MOMMA & FERAL CHILD WILL HAVE A BOOTH!! 60 vendors total), presentations by physicians and seminars on the latest issues in health & wellness.

Let me just take a second to say how VERY PROUD I AM OF MY SISTER, CHRYSTAL.
She has a full time job, is raising 2 precious little boys, cooks for long hours at a time for her family & also to contribute to her local farmer's market, AND TO TOP IT OFF, she attends events like Paleo F(x) to further educate herself, her family, and her community on how digging back to our roots & eating the way our ancestors did will help prevent and help us recover from modern-day disease and discomfort.
What an inspirational person to look up to! Thank you for that, Chopey, & happy early Mother's Day!
P.S. I'm very proud of you, too, Jodi! :)

*Since the girls will be busy at the Women's Conference, they will not be attending the Down To Earth Farmer's Market this Saturday (MAY 9TH).
They will, however, be back to market the following SATURDAY, MAY 16TH.
So go ahead & place your orders to be ready for pick-up on May 16th!

Come Rain or Shine...

HI FRIENDS!

Welcome back to CMQFCHQ (Cave-Momma's Quest & Feral Child Headquarters)!

It has been a hot minute since I have posted an update on this blog AND since my sisters (Chrystal & Jodi) have been to the Down To Earth Farmer's Market in Nederland, Tx. 

Well, I'm happy to inform you that the girls will be at the market TOMORROW (3/21/15)!

The girls were hoping for nicer weather to return to, but hey, what can you do when Mother Nature decides her flowers need some last minute rain?

You suck it up & have the farmer's market indoors, that's what!

It's not a big deal, really, because you know, it has rained before. :P

Anyway, we are so excited that spring is around the corner! 

I don't know about the rest of you allergy sufferers, but I know that now (since Spring is literally in the air) is the most critical time for me to "amp up" my game on my bone broth & natural, raw honey intake. 

Speaking of which, Chrystal (Cave-Momma) wanted me to remind ya'll of the importance of natural, homemade chicken broth and the health benefits of consuming it daily.

• Bone broth contains valuable minerals (calcium, glucosamine, silicon, magnesium) in a form your body can easily absorb & use. 
• The gelatin found in bone broth attracts & holds digestive juices, supporting proper digestion.
• Consuming broth daily inhibits infection caused by cold & flu viruses & fights inflammation.

You can make your very own bone broth by googling a recipe or you can skip the lengthy process (flavorful broth takes roughly 24 hours to make) & order some from Cave-Momma's Quest & Feral Child tomorrow, Saturday, Mar. 21st at the market...or online now to pick up next weekend. ;)

I, by no means, am a morning person & neither are my two sisters.

But I hope (for your sake) that you make it out there because Jodi (Feral Child) has a special "snacky surprise" this weekend! 

How does Lemon-Poppyseed Paleo Bread grab you?

They are delighted and honored to have been asked in the first place. (If you are interested in hiring them to cater an event you can email Chrystal at CaveMommasQuest@gmail.com )
• In May, Feral Child & I will have the pleasure of serving food to the Crossfit Competitors & their guests in Pleasure Island, TX.

Hey! It's me!

Hey there, friends! It's me, Chrystal, making you take a break in your regularly scheduled after-lunch nap! Wake up! We've got some things to talk about, so pour us some coffee, would ya!? Thanks, that's better...

Sooooo, what's newwww? ::feet on desk and mug in hand:: all of that is fascinating! I'm intrigued! Tell me more!

Oh about me!? Well, let's see....where to start....

There's a lot going on around these parts, business wise, family wise, crap-to-do wise! 

To be frank, I'm not sleeping well. Ya see? I'm missing this lady right here, somethin awful. 

This is our momma, and she passed away November 10. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of her, instinctively go to text her something funny, wish I could hear her voice, and just wish I could feel one of her momma hugs. Right now, we are atill handling the state of her affairs, figuring out what to do with the contents of her estate (garage sales coming soon), and trying to get things divvied up. It's very surreal and sad and emotional to talk about, but....it has to get done. So, we will be very busy in all of our copious amounts of spare time (haha) in the coming weeks, trying to get things squared away and in order. Simultaneously, we are trying to get Jodi (this girl and my paaaahdnah) 

ready to move as well. Ya see!? She bought a 1965 airstream a few weeks ago and will be moving into her tiny house as soon as possible! 

Ain't she a beaut!? Just wait, she's going to be stunning!

Paring down possessions, living simply, owning it outright!? Who couldn't stand to do that anyway!? It's going to be amazing and we are having a ball thinking of all the design possibilities! Clawfoot tub in an airstream!? YES, PLEASE! 

Stay tuned for the progress on that project, as it's moving fairly quickly! 

In other news, business wise, we've added a couple new goodies to the CMQFC line up! Jodi whipped up and instant favorite, chocolate raspberry date bars, and we can't even keep them in stock, they're going WAY too fast!! For only $1 a bar?! Can you say "throw me a fiver!"?!?! A nice addition to breakfast or a great snack mid afternoon, or whenever you feel the need, it's healthy, it's tasty, and you won't feel guilty or crappy after you eat it! 

Here's our girls at the farmers market this weekend. 

It really is hard to get much better! Pair it with a hot latte and your afternoon is complete!

A week behind this new lady, comes our newest guy, the spicy ranch cashew! A last minute creation, as many of our experiments are, this one worked out well on the first try! A little ranchy, and a tiny spicy kick, these add a nice savory side to our menu of goodies! They're delicious and portioned out just right for those of us who are of the mindless eater variety! Lol! I'm one too, don't worry!! Try these for your road trips or on the way to the gym! 

Worth every savory calorie, nutrient dense, and flavorful! Stay tuned guys, this fella is goin places!!

We are also throwing around the idea of some new creations, like dressings and marinades, as well as some other savory nut/seed mixtures, too! We can't be ALL sweet, can we!? ;) 

We love working hard for you guys, and couldn't be more thankful! Business is growing, and hopefully we will have some awesome news for y'all soon! I know you're on pins and needles! Lol! 

What else is new? Well, I'm working on some labeling for our products while Jodi works on logo design and new foods, and jessi is working on branding and merchandising, all the while, she is our go to girl for invoicing and order taking and basically all our office type needs! Stuff she can do while living hours away! We are hoping she'll be able to come home and take some headshots for us soon, since she IS the family photographer and all! Didn't know that!? Well now you do! Put her to work! ;)

I'm steadily crunching numbers on the side. We've got some really awesome goals we want to meet this year, and I think with your help, we can get there! Can't give away all our secrets yet, but know it involves a huge leap, awesome food, and you seeing us far more often!! Until then, order your favorite goodies every week, and you're helping is get to our goals directly!! We've met our weekly goals every week this year thus far, and have no plans on slowing down! Can you tell we love what we do?? I hope so! It's all your fault! Lol!

Anywho, that's all for now, kids, now get back to work! Don't let me catch you with your light off! Meeting adjourned!!

Cave-momma and Feral Child. #thankful
