It's hot in the kitchen!









Wow! We remember now what it's like to work in a hot kitchen but we had some really cool ideas today at work! Chef Ernie, pictured here, is making a cold ginger pea and mango salad. It has a tangy mango juice dressing and lots of sesame seeds, snappy green peas and juicy mango pieces. Right out of the fridge, this salad promises to cool you off. If you look closely, you can see how fast he is working!












Did you know that all of the great things that we make in the Deli and Bakery are also available for catering? We often make trays full of sandwiches and wraps as well as salads, box lunches and baked goodies for large numbers of people and special events. This beautiful wrap tray is getting ready to be delivered to some lucky and hungry people.








The kids will be happy! Whoopie Pies are back. Todays flavor was chocolate with a whipped cream filling and colorful sprinkles. These are as much fun to make as they are to eat because everyone in the kitchen yells "Whoopies!" everytime I make them. Enjoy everyone! Also ready for the bakery case today are fresh lemon bars, raspberry chocolate oat squares, vegan pb&j oat squares, 7 layer bars and vegan buckeye bliss. The current vegan muffin flavor made today is peach and flax and I have just filled the case with a fresh batch of vegan everything cookies. If you have never tried them, please put it on your "to do" list. I use Earth Balance Margarine and am amazed at the buttery flavor they have.
