Selling Out is the New Keeping It Real

Folks. Last weekend we sold out. Like sold out sold out. As in - I didn't bring a single thing home. I didn't even have a PB Bar to snack on for the ride home (jk). It's the first time that's happened in a while. We've come close a few times, but it felt all kinds of good to sell every single planty goodness thing we brought. You know that saying - selling out is the new keeping it real? We love keeping it real. And keepin' it real 100 (as in 100 % sold out) felt pretty gosh darn amaze. Thank you millions for that.

Can't wait to smash your faces again this weekend at the Pilsen Community Market on Sunday (10/4) from 9-2 at 18th/Halsted. (And don't forget - Olivia's Garden begins on 10/10 - keep you eyes peeled next week for another reminder and full deets on that.) This weekend, we plan on the following menu.

Chocolate Almond Cookies

Peanut Butter Bars

Chocolate Chip Cookies

Maple Oatmeal Scones

Cranberry Oatmeal Cream Pies

Apple Cinnamon Hand Pies

Need something special? Gimme a ring.

Either way, hope this note finds you well and hope to see you soon!! Happy October (in a few hours, give or take).

Things We're Crushin' On This Week

Just thought I'd share some of the sweet and savory food for thought I came across this week - thought you might like to "chew" on it.

Enjoy.

xoxxooo,

Katie Smash

__ __ __ __ __

From one of my fav publications : Lucky Peach

Eat Shit, Vegans Ok. I know. The title might turn you off. But, please. Hear it out. It might make you go errp, huh, nuh, ohhh - but it's definitely an interesting read. If you're living the plant life, you're most likely familiar with vitamin B12 deficiency to begin with. Can't hurt to learn some more.
Juice it up What are your thoughts on juicing? Do you juice? Do you smoothie?

The latest plantified genius recipe from a blog-a-log I simply adore [Minimalist Baker] :

30 - Minute Vegan Alfredo My favorite recipe of all time - but vegan. Sold.

LOVE this from NPR :

'You Don't Really Know Us' Chicago Kids Tell News Media Don't judge. Listen to the love.

I saw this movie this week...

White God ... and I kinda loved it. I might ruffle some feathers saying that, but I did. I think it was so relevant. It made me think a lot about how we are as humans to each other. And while parts were gruesome to watch, some of the things that have transpired in our history - are, well gruesome. Not only was it figuratively successful, but it was shot beautifully too. I want to watch the opening scene over and over. Imagine, over 200 dogs, stampeding through the deserted streets of Budapest...

What are you crushin' on this week? Share the love. Spread it around with us. Let's learn from each other!

This Is How We Do

Holy guacamole, folks!

Last weekend was just... wow. We had so much fun sharing dad's (and/or great dude's) day with you. And based on the fact that we came home with only a few things (let's be real, I totes ate the last power puff bar on the way home) - we're thinking you had a pretty smashing day too. Talk about a win-win! Cannot thank you enough for the love and support. This is how we do it my planty people!

Looking forward to another weekend at the Pilsen Community Market this Sunday from 9am-2pm [18th/Halsted]. Hope you can join us! Papa Smash will even be making an appearance in the afternoon. Don't leave him hanging. Show him some planty lovin' for me (pretty please with flax seeds on top?)!!

Get ready. Katie and Pops will be slinging the following :

Chocolate Almond Oatmeal Cookies ($6/6-pk)

Puff Cereal Power Bars ($3/ea)
Peanut Butter Bars ($4/ea)
Rhubarb Cake ($6/ea)
Coffee Brownie Cake ($6/ea)
Cranberry Chocolate Oatmeal Cream Pies ($4/ea)

Snickerdoodle Cookies ($4/ea)

Banana Oat Muffins ($3/ea)

Blueberry Muffins ($3/ea)

PinkRaz Granola ($6/jar)

As always, if you need anything - holla at this girl!

Keep doin' as you do.

Kisses,
