My "Special" finds from Costco!

I had to share ALL the goodies I found at Costco, yesterday.
First, bread... I switched to Prairie Grain Bread Co. (Utah's own!) I've been buying this bread at Smith's. So, I was looking at the bread at Costco to see if there were any other options, because I like to do most of my shopping in 1 to 2 places, if I can.
But, lol and behold! (and to my surprise) There it was! My Prairie Honey Whole Wheat Bread! (My oldest son found it). Yay!!! Two loaves for the price of one, now that's what I'm talking about!
Okay, moving on.
18 dozen brown organic eggs. Free range chicken broth. Organic Fuji apples. Organic spinach. Organic salted butter. 100% PURE maple syrup (I have a story for you... will get to that in a moment). Romaine lettuce leaves. Organic Quinoa (Keen-WAH). Almonds and walnuts. So many wonderful Organic items. I even requested they carry Almond Milk. Right now, all they carry is Soy milk- Yuck! Sorry, if you like it... it's not for me!


Okay, so here's the story about the syrup. After reading 'Master Your Metabolism'- by Jillian Michaels. I've started reading the labels of everything I own. I conveniently forgot to check the syrup. So the other day, I was standing in the kitchen, making something, (I can't remember) I thought, huh... I wonder what is in my syrup?

Here are the ingredients:
HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP, Corn Syrup, Water, Salt, Cellulose Gum, Molasses, Natural and Artificial Flavor (Lactic Acid), Sodium Hexametaphosphate, Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate), Caramel Color, Citric Acid.

I started laughing, shared the ingredients with my family and continued to laugh and point out that there is no Maple Syrup in our "Maple SYRUP." This was a brand I have bought for years! I have gone through gallons of this stuff... Not any more! I love the consistency and flavor of my new 100% Maple Syrup!
