With Father’s Day at hand, I felt that a true meat and potato recipe seemed appropriate for MRE Remix. And this recipe has all of dads’ favorites – beef, beans, bacon, cheese and potatoes. All in one hearty package. The potato becomes the carrier for all things dad loves. Every bite is full of hearty […]
Motivation comes in many forms. Experiences and influences without and within drive us to do what we do. Sure we want to look good, but we want more than that.

CMAC hosts a stunning variety of events focused on supporting our military. They jumped in with Our Community Salutes as it fits perfectly with their “MOS”. “Our Community Salutes was […]

If you’re curious, the only states we’ve not yet received orders from are Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Arkansas, Vermont, and Rhode Island. The highlight for me this week was […]
How many of you were big time fans of the Creamsicle ice cream bars as a kid? I was. I didn’t get them very often, which might be part of the reason they are such a fond memory. They were a very special treat, and as such I savored each one. A friend of mine […]
