As we ease into November - I wanted to take a quick moment (we did get an extra hour today after all) to send along my many planty thanks to each one of you for your support this past season. Whether you were a regular, placed a custom order or tried my goods for the first time last week, it was my honor to earn your vote with your dollars for wholesome allergy friendly treats. Or maybe you never made your way to the Smashed Muffin tent, but you gave a friendly smile or liked one of my photos on social media... know that I was just as flattered to receive those good vibes too. Regardless of our interaction(s) this past season, it mattered. THANK YOU for that. </span><br />

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. <b>Thank you millions for that</b>.</span><br />

Boy did we miss y'all! Thank you for your patience while we took a couple of weeks off from the markets to fulfill some rather large custom orders. We had a blast making Millie + Moe's "anchored in love" themed sugar cookies and coconut + cacao nib brownie cake balls for their engagement party. And did we mention the adorbs mini pink velvet cupcakes and mini chocolate chip cookies for BHS's homecoming week? Had SO much fun baking up the love.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">Smashed Muffin will be taking a short hiatus from the Pilsen Market to (1) take full advantage of the labor day weekend and (2) hustle making some rather large custom orders. We will be back to our regular schedule on Sunday, September 20th. I'll send a reminder the week before. Can't wait to see y'all in a couple of weeks.</span></div>

Thank you thank you thank you for your love and support this past weekend at the Pilsen Community Market and at Chicago Reader's Made in Chicago Market.

Whether you missed us last week or are counting down the days until the weekend markets - we will be back at it this Sunday - rain, shine, heat wave or whatever else gets thrown our way. Join us 8/23 and let the #planty vibes roll at the Pilsen Community Market at 18th/Halsted from 9am-2pm. We're planning on the below.</span><br />

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.</span></li>

</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.magpictures.com/whitegod/" target="_blank">White God</a> ... 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 <a href="http://thecreatorsproject.vice.com/blog/how-200-dogs-were-trained-to-act-in-white-god" target="_blank">200 dogs</a>, stampeding through the deserted streets of Budapest...</span></li>

<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">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!</span></div>

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?)</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">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...!!) </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">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.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">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 <a href="https://instagram.com/p/3XAWwGNVr5/?taken-by=smashedmuffingoods" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">VTC Tote Bag Winner</a>?!! It was beyond great to see y'all. And to feel your <a href="https://instagram.com/p/3Ww9WhtVoN/?taken-by=smashedmuffingoods" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">planty love</a>. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">You guys. It's true. I'm in love.
In love with Friday (what's not to love about the end of the work week, duh).
In love with the love you've been showing us at the farmers markets. Not to
mention with your custom orders - wowza do you guys know how to keep us busy
and on our toes - love that! In love with summer (and this
-ahem/nottrynajinxit- gorg weather). In love with getting to do what I love
(even if for now that means squeezing it in to any nook and cranny on nights and
weekends).</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Now I'm not saying it hasn't ever
been a challenge. And I'm not saying I never have any doubts (I do, quite
often). Nothing's perfect. But wholly plant based goodness this has been a
pretty amazing past few months. And I'm so grateful to have experienced all
this joy (ok, and even the unsavory parts too - where are you without some
triumphs <i>and</i> troubles, right?). So I wanted to take a moment. To spread
the love. And share a few of the things that I'm loving right now. Cuz hey, all
you need is love, right?</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">(loving it so much, we came back
for more!)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">As you know, this summer our
newest addition to our market schedule has been Pilsen in the good ol’ Chi. Not
having lived in the city for a while now, has me itching to be back. And while
I'm not quite "on my feet" enough to make the move - I have been
loving getting to spend a few Sundays in the city at the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pilsenmarket"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">Pilsen Market</span></a>. (Yes, ok.
Perhaps this market pick was slightly selfish.) But, manna banana - I picked
the right neighborhood to hang in. I have never in my life felt so
included in a real, well, community. Who’da thunk this little niche of an area on the south side would embrace us with such open arms. It’s a small market, but a
mighty one. (Kinda like us!) And we’ve enjoyed being there so so much, that we
decided to work a little harder and up the ante, cuz we just love it there SO
so much. Instead of just being there every other week, we are now officially -
from July through the end of season – (wait for it, wait for it) a FULL TIME
vendor / squee! So please, swing by any ol’ Sunday you like (just get there
before the end of Oct) and get smashed with us sometime. And get a little slice
of life in this cute, urban, ohso welcoming (not to mention hip and fun) neighborhood.
We’re lovin it and we’re certain you’ll love it too.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Anytime a brand attempts to off
the (shall we say, evils) of “big” food, I’m with them. When that company just
so happens to be <a href="http://www.hamptoncreek.com/"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">plant strong</span></a> and
concerned about the effects of the dairy industry too – well then, in that
case, (you guessed it), I’m in love. More and more brands are emerging with
this focus all the time, but this is one of the first (that I know of at least)
– that’s got the backing to compete with big food, much less have an impact on
the market. I mean, have you seen their <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/hampton-creek-pitch-deck-2014-3?op=1"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">pitch
deck</span></a>? It’s simply genius. And makes SO much sense. Even if I wasn’t
already living plant strong, I think I would be sold. Not to mention that I’m
SO lovin the relentless passion to create a business structure out of wanting
to do something fulfilling that matters. I relate to that a whole bunch. Might
be on a teenier scale, but regardless, I’m behind it. (By the way - they are a mostly mayo, proactively replacing eggs with plants type company, about to launch an eggless cookie dough mix. Sounds uber crazy good, right?)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">(Speaking of genius…)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">I am seriously in love with this
company. I’m a borderline stalker of theirs. You may not know it, but I am a
numbers and data geek at heart. While I love being creative and baking thing
that are safe for all with love, I also love numbers and analysis. And this
company is the trifecta blend of things I love (food + data + creative). Not to
mention they did a pretty rad <a href="http://blog.getfoodgenius.com/food-innovations-will-this-new-substitute-scramble-the-egg-market/"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">blog
post</span></a> about the company mentioned above. Plus, they’re based in
Chicago (love local), have an <a href="http://blog.getfoodgenius.com/meet-our-newest-employees/"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">office
dog</span></a> (named Dexter, no less), and <a href="http://blog.getfoodgenius.com/food-genius-goes-volunteering/"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">volunteer</span></a>
at one of my favorite causes – The Chicago Food Depository. (Um, seriously when
can I start working here?) If you haven’t checked them out – do. You’ll scour
the blog for hours. I’m not ashamed to say that I have, often.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">CHICAGO MARKET</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">(You say you want a revolution…)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">I’m absolutely loving the call to
action this <a href="http://www.chicagomarket.coop/">business</a> is promoting.
Giving the power to the people, literally – this co-op is making waves (the
good kind). They are currently rallying for owners. And the owners will decide
which businesses and products will be sold in this unique concept grocery
store. Co-ops are nothing new. But I feel like so few do it well (and make it
to execution). Know your farmer has been a buzz worthy phrase of late. And we
love that they’re taking that one step further. Knowing your food (from your
plate of organic locally farmed brunch to the beer you drink on the weekend)
means knowing the person that makes it. That’s part of what has made doing the
farmers markets so rewarding for me. I’m not a farmer so I’m not growing product.
But I do cultivate and tend to the good I make with a lot of care and love, just
as a farmer would. And interacting with the customers who consume and
(hopefully) enjoy that product, creates a very powerful community. Don’t you
just love that?</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">JENNIFER'S WAY</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">(A journey to health has never
been so sweet.)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">I believe my mom tipped me off to
this one, which is appropriate because we are both gleefully powering through
her book at a moment (wouldn’t you know it – just like kids in a candy shop –
very fitting). If you know Jennifer Esposito, you probably think of her work as an
actress. But behind the scenes she (like most actresses, I presume who we tend
to only see certain limited sides of) is so much more than that. Lately, you will see
her take on a bigger role as activist, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>brave sufferer and voice of/for celiac’s. Oh yea, and bake shop owner to boot - new role model alert. (Did
you catch her on <a href="http://thedailyshow.cc.com/episodes/kh3evh/june-24--2014---jennifer-esposito">The
Daily Show?</a> It was the highlight of my week. I put down my spatula during a
long night of farmers market baking to watch it. Which trust me, is a BIG deal. Not much tears me away.) With the advent of eating gluten free becoming somewhat of a "trend" of late, it’s become to seem more a fad than the serious and grossly misunderstood health
issue it is. But Jennifer is here to clear things up. I’m midway through her <a href="http://jennifersway.org/">book</a> right now (not to mention feverishly
liking everything her bakery posts on social media) and it really got to my
core. (Yes, reading the intro caused some <a href="http://instagram.com/p/pPjcstNVnG/?modal=true">tearing up</a>. So what.) Despite
not suffering from the disease myself, I can relate to various aspects of Jennifer’s
journey in so many ways. She speaks a lot to her childhood. Growing up with
various ailments and with a sick parent can cause some tension and alienation
that others have no perception of, even if they’re causing it. As a preemie and
a frequently sick child, I understood. And I too grew up most of my childhood
with an ailing (though mostly healthy now, thank the goodness) parent.
Regardless, Jennifer’s story makes things personal, so whether you grew up or
have had those experiences or not, you’ll be able to relate - on a human level. (Remember the triumphs and troubles I was talking about...?)
Trust me. And yes yes, ok. So I love and admire the bakery part too. No doy. It gives me hope that there is a place for businesses like my small little operation. And who knows, maybe someday I'll actually have the capital to put it to fruition with an actual "facility" like Jennifer's. (But seriously, c’mon - just read her book already!!! I mean, can you say beach read?) Anyways. Love the book already. Can’t wait to finish. (Cuz, yano me
- I’m all about journeys to health – partial health, complete health – anything
that leads to less unnecessary suffering, especially when it comes with the
realization that we can control a lot of that suffering by acknowledging what
we’re putting in our mouths.) And further, I cannot wait to have an excuse to visit NYC again
sometime soon – with the hope at a chance to be a patron at Jennifer’s gorgeously
inviting bakery. I have a pretty big feeling that I’ll love it. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Okies. Enough blabbering from me.
That’s what I’m mclovin’ right now (yeah, take that big food). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">What are you loving
this summer, sweet thangs? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Don’t wait another minute. Spread
it around and share it!</span><br />

Here goes:<br />
<br />
-We got a new helper. (Ok, not really. But she looks so good in aprons, I couldn't help it.) Meet Kicha Lorraine, the newest addition to the Smashed Muffin clan. While she doesn't do much in the way of kitchen work, she is another one of our much appreciated cheerleaders and makes for a pretty adorable mascot to boot. I mean, when you look this good in red gingham aprons... :)<br />

(Appropriate name, don't you think?) Sprinkles has joined Kicha in becoming another top cheerleader and cutie pie mascot. Where would we be without these joys? A special thanks goes out to <a href="http://www.onetail.org/" target="_blank">OTAT</a> - the shelter where both pups were rescued from. We've been fans for years and now finally got the opportunity to show our support by taking home a companion (or two) to love.<br />

-We had a very exciting custom order last month - a wedding cake! Ross and Sarah found out about me by visiting and picking up my card at the markets last summer. I was lucky enough to be asked to do their gluten free wedding cake, complete with bride and groom robot toppers. (The bot's were my favorite.) Congrats to the happy couple and thanks for letting Smashed Muffin be a part of the celebration! (And a shout out to mama and papa Smash for helping out with the delivery.)<br />

-Plant Based Nutrition Certification - Check! I recently finished coursework to complete my certification in Plant Based Nutrition through the T. Colin Campbell Center for Nutrition Studies in partnership with Cornell. I learned a TON and kind of wish it wasn't over. But the extra time will be needed and appreciated as we gear up for the farmers market season! And the extra knowledge certainly doesn't hurt either!<br />

-Speaking of Nutrition and Health, I am flattered and honored to announce that I will be attending the 2014 Hunger Summit in Springfield, IL next month through the Illinois Commission to End Hunger. As a 2014 Hunger Study Volunteer, I was extended an invitation and I'm excited to learn more and interact with some of the people involved with food advocacy and education in our state. Thrilled at the opportunity to get some insight into how we can work towards a better food system - straight from the capital!<br />

What a year 2013 has been. The end of the year always sets me into a bit of a panic (that I hadn't accomplished everything I wanted within the walls of 365 days), mixed with lots of excitement (for a clean slate and fresh start in the new year to come). 'Tis the season for reflection and excitement for a new beginning. This time last year, I was feverishly reapplying as a cottage food vendor in DuPage County, having already been approved in Cook prior to my move home (my parents are saints for letting my reclaim their kitchen for this small business pipe dream). I was determined to make it into this farmers market season as a CFO (cottage food operator). Someway, somehow. And I did. Also during this time last year, I began on my journey transitioning into a plant strong lifestyle. Looking back, this year provided me with a lot of perspective. Throughout the course of this year, I reinforced my passion to make a difference, however small, with my farmers market business by adapting recipes and continuing to educate myself on more healthful approaches to baking. Being surrounded by food and culture and people who care about those things too was all I ever really wanted. And by doing the farmers markets, I was able to do that - in meeting countless vendors and customers that live their lives on similar wavelengths. Now, in the coming year, I plan to continue my "food" education, and possibly even enroll in a plant-based nutrition certificate program. I hope to continue to be able to speak even more intelligently to the needs of my customer base along with furthering my education on my own personal nutrition choices (as a plant-strong eater) as well. In the coming months, I also hope to become re-approved as a CFO for next seasons farmers markets and be able to offer a wider selection of products that are safe for everyone to eat by introducing more soy free and naturally sweetened products, along with adapting whatever I can to be gluten free. (Trust me, I have been busy adapting and experimenting with new recipes whenever possible. I even made flax meal sugar cookies for the holidays - and would you believe it, they were more delicious than the originals?!) I was speaking to someone about my business recently, and I recall saying, "All I really want to do is help people." Which is the complete truth. I want you to have your cake and eat it too. Sure, sweets are still an indulgence no matter how they are made, but if you are fully educated about what is in them, and can pronounce all of the ingredients, they definitely become more of a beneficial splurge than not. Especially if they still accomplish the nostalgia of a home baked treat fresh from a loved one's oven. At least in my book. Which is why I am so grateful the cottage food law exists, because if it didn't I wouldn't have the same opportunities to put my passion into production. And if we can all continue to learn and grow from each other, the transfer of information will continue to evolve and nourish the importance of the movement for food advocacy and education. What greater gift can we give ourselves than knowledge? <span style="text-align: left;">So, as you gear up for the last remaining days of the year to enter into the clean slate of 2014, what will you be hoping to accomplish? We here at Smashed Muffin will be hoping for your most "smashing" year yet. Along with continuing to maintain an appreciation for the sweet things in life (food related and otherwise). So, from our kitchen to yours, happy holidays. We can't wait to see what the new year brings...!</span><br />

<br />
This summer, I seem to have had the "eyes being bigger than my stomach" syndrome when it comes to checking out food related books at the library. I recently finished <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Obsessed-Americas-Food-Addiction-Own/dp/1602861765" target="_blank">Mika Brzezinkisi's book, Obsessed</a> and ever since, I can't seem to get enough. Ok, I'll admit, I have become prone to skimming, but it's just 'cuz I'm so excited to take it all in... all at once! The list of books I want to read is long, and ever growing, and likely not accomplishable in the short time we have left this summer, but I thought today I could summarize some of the goodies I've come across so far. Some I've read, some I've skimmed, and all of them I hope to come back to.<br />

<i>SMG's Summer Reading Shortlist : </i><br />
<i>To Read and Be Read</i><br />
-<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Obsessed-Americas-Food-Addiction-Own/dp/1602861765" target="_blank">Obsessed: America's Food Addiction -- And My Own (Mika Brzezinski)</a><br />
I just finished this one a week or two ago, which I already mentioned, but trust me, this one is worth mentioning again. It's a super quick read, chock full of valuable information about our nation's obsession with food. And overwhelming, the wrong kinds of foods at that. We are facing nothing short of an epidemic in this country and it's time we take some action for the health and safety of future generations to come - that is, if we want there to be future generations. Mika (with the help of many prestigious experts - some famous and some common), covers everything from fad diets to the obesity epidemic to the possibility of being addicted to junk food or sugar. If you're feeling uncertain about the quality of your relationship with food, this book will be a great eye opener - for the good and the bad.<br />
-<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Cooked-A-Natural-History-Transformation/dp/1594204217" target="_blank">Cooked: A Natural History of Transformation (Michael Pollan)</a><br />
My mom picked this one up at good old Costco not long after we were lucky enough to see him speak at Elmhurst College. Feeling inspired, I got a good 50 pages through, and then had to take a break. The concept overall fascinates me, but I think it's going to be one of those books that I read in bits and pieces. His concept is simple. Cooking goes way back. And it may just be the one thing that makes us the more "civilized" social species of the bunch. Using the earth, it wind and the discovery of fire, we discovered the main techniques that establish cooking. (And no, we're not talking about the band.) It's not about putting women back in the kitchen. It's about putting YOU back in the kitchen. Yes, you. You don't have to be (or even want to be) a housewife (or even a female) to realize that if we cook our own food (as opposed to a corporation cooking it for us), our health and food relationships will instantly be nurtured. And no, microwaving a pizza in your pizza oven does not count as cooking. Sorry. If we all got back to the basics, (i.e. having a hand in all of the food that goes into our mouths), my what a world it could be.<br />

This was actually one of my textbooks from this summer. I have a feeling it will be helpful having read this book in it's entirety prior to coming back to Pollan's <i>Cooked</i> (above), as there seems to be a lot of discussion of the historical evolution of food and culture throughout book texts. I usually struggle to read non-fiction or historical books, however Linda makes it a breeze. It's fascinating to discover where some of what we consider to be "staples" today, came from and how they became of cultural significance.<br />

This is another one I got through part of but haven't quite finished yet. However, Mark's philosophy pretty closely mirrors where I'm at with my personal relationship to food as of late. What you put in your mouth and it's affects, matters. Oftentimes more than just to you (to your environment and the other living organisms in your environment). Sometimes I have difficulty understanding why people don't get this concept. But Mark does a great job of making it easy to "digest". And there's even recipes! Any book that ends in recipes is a friend of mine.<br />
-<a href="http://www.amazon.com/books/dp/0231159102" target="_blank">Neurogastronomy: How the Brain Creates Flavor and Why It Matters (Gordon M. Shepherd)</a><br />
I haven't touched this one yet - but my gosh - that title alone...! I have a feeling the science heavy nature might make it a trying read - but how intriguing. Whenever any kind of scientist (in this case a neuroscientist), dips their toes into the culinary world - I find it makes for quite the surprising combo. I can't wait to dive right in!<br />

As I attempt to expand my gluten free product offerings this summer at the farmers market, I'm always looking for resources to expand my knowledge and understanding of gluten free cooking and baking. GF girl has certainly widened my eyes. The more I learn, the more easily I can create better goods for the rest of you - and Shauna's cook books have given me an understanding of a gluten free lifestyle that I hope has made me an even more conscious and careful baker. Her "Everyday" cookbook I found most helpful with it's detailed product explanations and recommendations on substitutions. Her "whole wheat" flour mix is now something I stock regularly in my pantry (and which I have also been having fun experimenting with).<br />
-<a href="http://bakeanddestroy.net/the-book/" target="_blank">Bake and Destroy : Good Food for Bad Vegans (Natalie Slater)</a><br />
Ok, so this is more than anything a book I am excited for, though haven't quite gotten my mittens on yet. I have been a B&D fan for a while now and Natalie's site has been an incredible resource for me, introducing me to many of the authors of cookbooks which are now my go-to for inspiration as a mostly vegan baker. And to have the opportunity to have Natalie's originals as a mostly vegan herself - all in one real-life book and not just on a screen? Well it's this girl's old fashioned dream come true.<br />

<i>Summer Sippin'</i><br />
<br />
Another thing I wanted to mention (ok you caught me - brag about), is an event I attended yesterday at <a href="http://www.hotchocolatechicago.com/" target="_blank">Mindy's Hot Chocolate</a>. You all know <a href="https://twitter.com/MindySegal" target="_blank">Mindy Segal</a>, right? Well if you don't, you're missing out. Start obsessing over her. Like, now. I was lucky enough to get invited to a coffee lab hosted at her restaurant by the heads of the beverage program there, with some help from their friends over at <a href="http://www.mandarinenapoleon.com/" target="_blank">Mandarine Napoleon</a>. One of my good friends, Alex McDaniel, is what I like to call, the "coffee chemist" at Mindy's, and boy is he right at home not only at this restaurant, but also in an event like this. I've never meet someone with more passion or plain old knowledge about coffee. Pair with that a bar manager who is just as passionate about his cocktails, and it's a match made in chocolate dipped heaven. And while we're going with this analogy, we'll say the Mandarine Napoleon is like the "cherry" on top. Except in this land of caffeinated mixology, appropriately citrus flavored. Profiling three of their specialty cocktails (all featuring MN) - guests, decked out in black aprons, got to put their mad scientist hats on and join the two Alex's down the rabbit hole of specialty, coffee laced cocktails. Using a cold press coffee immensely alters it's taste profile, just as cooking or baking at different temperatures will drastically alter your results. My favorite thing we mixed was a cocktail solution of muddled blackberries (although any farm fresh berries will do), a balsamic reduction, Mandarine Napoleon, Pimm's and Gin that was mixed, shaken and strained over an unfiltered jumbo coffee ice cube. It's one of those drinks that gets better with time, with the coffee intensity staying perfectly matched to the cocktail throughout as it slowly melts. My only complaint would be that we didn't go home with pre-filled recipe cards. I was so fascinated, that I didn't write the demonstrated recipes down fast enough...! However, I understand a magician can't give away all his tricks.<br />
