Improving the healthfulness of your garden sandwich

August 20, 2019

A sprinkling of flaxseed meal on goat cheese or mozzarella improves the Omega-3/Omega-6 balance of your summer cheese and veggie sandwiches. This one was made with green beans, tomatoes and basil and a light spread of goat cheese and flaxseed meal -- and was delicious!

Improving the Healthfulness of your Father's Day Cookout

June 12, 2019

Happy (almost) Father's Day to all you fathers out there!

It's a day of grilling for many of you, I know. But it doesn't have to be a day of throwing your Omega-3/Omega-6 balance to the wind! Or your pocketbook!

Those of you who know where to find -- and can afford -- grass-fed beef know that the Omega-3/Omega-6 balance of animals fed exclusively on grass is ideal for human health. But those who don't have access to grass-fed or pastured meat needn't despair -- or give up on good health.

I did the homework for you and calculated just how much (or little) ground flax seed you need to add to conventional ground beef in order to turn it into a healthy burger (as least far as Omega-3s go). It's remarkably little -- one tenth of a teaspoon per 100 gram patty. But I suggest that you throw in a little more -- say 1/4 teaspoon flax seed meal per burger -- in order to balance out the bun and some of the other things you may be putting in your mouth.

Anyone who reads this blog hopefully already knows to make their salad dressings; coleslaw; and potato salads using canola mayo. But it's hard to find potato chips made with canola oil these days, so the extra flax seed meal in your burger should help with those.

Those of you who are making your burgers out of ground turkey will actually need a little more flax seed in each of these burgers -- 1 teaspoon per 100 gram turkey burger -- to balance out all the Omega 6 fats in turkey.

I couldn't find detailed nutritionals for the Impossible Burger and Beyond Meat (for those choosing meat-free options this year), but the ingredients of these products tell me there is a big difference between these two products -- as far as the Omega-3/Omega 6 balance goes. The Impossible Burger is made with sunflower and coconut oil so will be very high in Omega-6s (and low in Omega-3s).

Beyond Meat, however, is made with canola oil so is well balanced.

Happy, healthy cookout and enjoy the day -- and beginning of summer!

Update on Loyalty Lion

January 03, 2019

Hello Customers,

Because we have added Recurring or Autoship subscriptions to our website, we have had to discontinue our Loyalty Lion program. Many of you have earned points on this program and we would like to honor these on your upcoming orders. Please shoot us a note with your next order asking us to honor your points -- or we will try to do this manually if we see that you have unredeemed points. Thanks for your patience as we make this change. And thanks, as always for being fans of the Breakfast Cookies.

Happy 2019,

Susie and Michele

Susie's Smart Breakfast cookies on QVC!!

September 25, 2018

Hello Dear Customers,

I'm excited (and a bit nervous, I have to admit!) to say that I'll be making my first presentation on QVC today -- between 3-6 pm EST. I'll be on the Gourmet Holiday Show with hosts Jill Bauer and Sharon Faetsch.

I hope you have a chance to tune in -- and either place an order or call in with a question or a comment on the Breakfast Cookies.

Wish me luck and thanks, as always, for being such a great customer!

Sweets and Snacks -- 2018

June 12, 2018

I'm just collecting my thoughts on the Sweets and Snacks Show in Chicago last month.

Yes, we produce healthy and nutritious Breakfast Cookies, which couldn't be more different than gum drops and lollipops, but the show turned out to be a good fit for us -- with lots of interest from distributors and brokers and grab-and-go locations, places where the Breakfast Cookies do well.

My favorite moment was the Women's Leadership Breakfast where guests sat down with leaders in the field. Who knew that Mars Wrigley was such a great place for women to work, offering flexibility and support during the child-rearing years? But so, of course, is Susie's Smart Cookie! (Ask Michele.)

It was also great to bike home from the convention center on Chicago's easy-to-use Divvy Bikes and to spend time with Geoff Hoagland from Busy Bees, who does such a wonderful job presenting our products at demos and shows.

Already looking forward to next year!
