Stress-free Cookie Shopping
Aug 27, 2010 Bakery Stores
Some people just cant get enough of cookies, biscotti, muffins and other delicious, freshly baked goodies. If they cant have their fix at home of Moms chocolate cookies or lemon cranberry muffins, they would rush to the nearest bakery to get some, and hopefully share with friends and family back home. If they are lucky there would be a bakery right on the street where they live but if less lucky, they would have to go out further to find one that bakes their favorite chocolate chip brownies or scones, whichever they fancy at the moment.
In the old days, you would just have to sulk if Mom didnt bake your favorite baked goodies or if the local bakery didnt have them. Now you only have to start your computer, open your favorite browser and google cookies, muffins or any baked goodies you want and presto, you can order online and have a cookie or a basketful of muffins in no time. Of course you would have to wait a little, depending on the location of the bakery but the wait should just make those baked goodies more delectable when they arrive.
Ordering freshly baked goodies online gives you many advantages. You dont spend gas going to crowded malls and avoid dealing with uncooperative sales clerks. It is easier and thus less stressful. You will have many choices and the pictures in them are so nicely presented that you could almost smell their aroma and taste them. You could drool just seeing the pictures that you would want to quickly press the order button. Shopping for baked goodies to give as gifts to friends and family is so convenient if you do it online too. It is a novel and creative way to show how much you appreciate them during the holidays or any special occasion they may be celebrating.
Bakeries with online stores are very much aware of this trend and so to attract more customers, they send out emails and do extensive online marketing to promote their freshly baked products. They usually feature a baked goodie of the month, such as brownie-filled cookies, raspberry-filled cookies or maple walnut cookies. These are only some of the baked goodies you can find online ready for your orders. Ordering online may appear impersonal to some but you can actually personalize your order to make your baked goodies gifts appeal more to the recipient. You can ask the merchant to include playful messages, special phrases or blessings of your choice. This will truly make your gift a blessing to those who will receive it. Some people have even sent baked goodies to their friend and family stationed overseas. You can order cookies to be sent to your husband who is a soldier or sailor abroad serving the country. Cookies are durable and are able to survive the tumbles and shaking of being shipped. You know that such gifts will be appreciated and can certainly boost their morale, helping them endure the rigors of their stay wherever they are assigned, whether inland or out at sea.

Secret Recipe Rice Krispy Treats
Jul 30, 2010 General
I went shopping on Friday to buy some foods I could eat for the “Eat Like Us for a Day Challenge”. Did you know cocoa rice krispies have soy and gluten ingredients? Did you know that SPAM is top 8 allergen free?
I made some strange discoveries on that day.
Like this: I made Rice Krispy treats and substituted coconut oil for the margarine/butter. Even though margarine is made with vegetable oil there is always whey or other milk products in there. (The exception would be a vegan butter spread like “Good Earth”). Even the one I found that was based on olive oil had soy in it. I didn’t want to pour just straight vegetable oil in, but coconut oil actually sounded tasty.
AND IT WAS!
I was so happy about that. Because I really wanted some treats on Friday, and I didn’t have gluten free cookie mix or even alternative flour on hand.
Everyone liked the addition of coconut oil to the Rice Krispy treats and I think I’m going to make that a permanent change. I just made the perfect food even better. Ha.
