Guidebook for Rockford
Food Scene
All the food is fresh (never frozen) and much of it is organic. It is what we call "clean food" just meat, veggies and other healthy sides prepared after you order. The Fish Tacos and Filet Mignon are my personal favs. But the best thing they have are their fresh juice Margaritas!

Essentials
This is our thing..... We mail order everything we possibly can! When you stay with us you can try it. We swear by the Laundry & Home care products. We probably couldn't live without the Nutritional Supplements. And Lynn's hair would be a mess without the Satinique Hair Care Line! When we go to the grocery store, we buy FOOD.

Drinks & Nightlife
It's close to home - we often find ourselves enjoying a light dinner like a greek salad or appetizer on grocery night. Their House Merlot is pretty good and Rob always gets an Angry Orchard!
