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.

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] :
LOVE this from NPR :
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)

Like A Boss


Holla my planty friends!! 

We're back at the Pilsen market this Sunday 6/14 (9-2) - rain or shine. Can't wait to see your face! Yes, yours. Especially after you made us feel pretty darn boss last week. [THANK YOU!!!] Despite the raindrops and wet humid weather, you still came out to get smashed and shop til ya dropped at the PCM. Job well done! (Not to mention we sold out of blackberry applesauce donuts in no time. Who says you can only celebrate national donut day on a Friday?)






This week's menu should be relatively similar to last weekends. Oatmeal cream pies went over well so I'll have a small batch of those this Sunday too. I've also got some South Haven Michigan blueberries chillin' in the freezer that are just begging to be baked with. I'm thinkin some blueberry streusel loaves are in order. Ya feel me? 



Can't make it to the market this weekend? Have a hankering for something not on the June menu/items mentioned above? Give me a holler via one of the methods below.

Okies. That's all I've got for now. Hope you're having a smashing week. CUsoons.

Giving Planty THANKS


Hello My Planty Lovelies,

It's been a while. A long while. But we're going to start sharing some updates on this dusty old blog thing more often. (Hopefully. We're human. Life gets in the way sometimes, but we're trying to do better...!!) 

Here's a quick recap from our newsletter of our first outdoor farmers market of the 2015 season as well as a sneaky peaky at what's to come this weekend. [Side note - not signed up for the newsletter? Want to be? Email Katie at smashedmuffingoods@gmail.com and she'll get ya set up stat!] This will be our third year as a market vendor - holy farm sanctuary cow, can you believe it?! Feeling very grateful to continue to have the opportunity to smash your faces with planty goodness.

Anyways, just wanted to take a quick minute (or two or ten...) to say THANK YOU for your love and support last weekend at the first outdoor market of the season. Despite the rain/wind/chill and in general yucky weather - we managed to have a grand ol' time as we warmed right up by getting to see your pretty faces again. And how about our adorbs VTC Tote Bag Winner?!! It was beyond great to see y'all. And to feel your planty love


 


As if we weren't feeling the love enough, we also had the opportunity to do this rad smash cake for a cute little dude who turned the big numero uno last weekend. Keep it comin' babes.



We will be back at the Pilsen Community Market this weekend, Sunday 6/7 from 9am-2pm. Attached is the stock item menu. Don't forget to save some room for a post-national donut day treat...!




Need something special? 
Give us a holler. 

Can't make it to the market?
Email Katie [smashedmuffingoods@gmail.com] and we can arrange a custom order. Delivery available throughout Downers Grove (+ neighboring suburbs) and Chicago.

Make it a great week!
Kisses + hope to see you soons. Mwah.
