Class Highlights-Cooking without Power by Chef Tess

Our Arizona readers were lucky enough to attend this class in person.  We figured we'd better share the fun and do some class highlights for everyone else!

Chef Tess is sooo cool that she can bake bread on a grill--seriously mad skills this lady has!

Peanut Butter Pie

Yes please I'll take 2! Sometimes I forget how good pudding is. And sometimes I want to ask for seconds and thirds when it comes to dessert.  And sometimes I am grateful for stretchy waistbands after I eat seconds and thirds of dessert.

E-Commerce Sale-New Items Added to Website

Woot Woot!  E-Commerce is having a sale :)  They've done a redesign to the online store and shopping cart AND they've added 5 great new products in the #10 can:  Powdered Peanut Butter, Freeze Dried Ham, Freeze Dried Sweet Potato, Freeze Dried Asparagus and Freeze Dried Zucchini. (Retail Store customers have been enjoying these products for a little bit and now it's time to share the love!)

Recipe and Class Highlights: Halloween with Shirley J

Becky Olsen from Shirley J came to our Brigham City store to present "Spooky, Sweet, and Savory: Halloween with Shirley J". 

This class explored how Shirley J products can simplify many of your dishes (both in time and number of ingredients needed) without sacrificing flavor.  We tried Black & White Chili, Sourdough Bread Bowls, Sweet Potato Jack-O-Lantern Tartlets, Pumpkin Spice Cake and Black Velvet Cupcakes.  Everything was delicious!

Strawberry-Peach Smoothie

With the Strawberry Milk Alternative Give-away going on, I thought I would share a smoothie recipe using the Strawberry Milk! If you don't already know, we LOVE smoothies in this house! We literally have a smoothie 7-10 times a week-no joke! Yes, it's kind of embarrassing to admit, and yes, we go through 5-6 bananas A DAY, and yes, I LOVE smoothies. But set the embarrassment aside and think about it....it's a pretty healthy snack. All we do is put in fruit, ice, water, and some days a little bit of sugar. So all in all, I am okay with it!

October Give Away!

**THIS GIVE AWAY IS NOW CLOSED**

Congrats to Terry F. for being the winner! Terry, please check your e-mail for further instructions. 

Class Highlights: Using Powdered Eggs and Milk

We've had some great classes at each of our stores and this one was no different.  In September, Cheryl Moore, came to our Brigham City, UT store to share her knowledge about using Powdered Eggs and Powdered Milk. 

Powdered Milk
There are 3 basic types of powdered milk: Non-Instant, Instant, and Milk Alternative.  Our retail stores carry each type (some may be a special order and various sizing available). 

The Milk Substitute (aka Milk Alternative) is a whey based beverage mix and is great for drinking!  I've used it in some of my baking too and have been pleased with the results.  You can't use this to make your own yogurt or cheese.  We also carry the yummy Chocolate Milk Substitute and the new Strawberry Milk Substitute too!

Candied Sweet Potatoes

Freeze Dried Sweet Potatoes...what will we package next?  These babies are new to the retail stores within the past month, and we're waiting patiently for our internet department to add these so everyone has access to these yummy gems.  Keep your fingers crossed that they'll debut in the next month or two online.

Ham & Cheese Quiche

Who doesn't like Quiche? Do I have a recipe for you! And no judging...I used the Ova Easy Egg Crystals and NO ONE knew it!!! Oh, how I love those Egg Crystals!

Cheese & Ham Quiche

2 cups Honeyville Dehydrated Hash Browns

1/4 cup melted Margarine

1 cup Honeyville Freeze Dried Mozzarella Cheese

1 cup Honeyville Freeze Dried Colby Jack Cheese

Emergency Preparedness-Not Just Food

This past week I had the great pleasure of meeting Tami with preparemylife.com who supplies all our retail stores with "The Laundry Bucket" and "Emergency Toilets".  Preparemylife.com sends all their products to be tested beforehand so it's been tweaked here and there to become the perfect kit for your family. 

First let's talk about "The Laundry Bucket":
