We kind of live in limbo here…
I have made a firm commitment to a more natural way of eating, and we absolutely do not eat things like High Fructose Corn Syrup.
But we aren’t quite to the stage of growing, canning, grinding wheat, and totally scratch cooking.
I was delighted to hear about a new company called Do You Bake.
The company was developed for two reasons –
One to focus on the natural eating. We are eating way too much chemicals and boxed foods and while we are a convenience driven society, we can still enjoy that convenience while eating natural. So that’s what we promote.
Second, this was put together by two fantastic women who wanted to give business opportunities to women (in particular). Direct sales is a great avenue for many women but it is usually very cost prohibitive. We are striving to keep our product costs low and our incentives / commisssions as high as possible. We have mentorship programs, leadership development opportunities and so much more. We focus on education and personal development.
It all sounds great, but of course it’s going to fall flat unless they have a good product to back it up.
They sent me a yummy assortment pack called “Desserts Up”, so we could give it a try.
There were two different “Spice it Up” seasoning mix packets – very convenient.
One was Cinnamon, and we had a great time using this in hot cereal, and for cinnamon toast. Cinnamon and sugar is a familiar combo, and there is a little extra “twist” in there (nutmeg) that made it really nice.
The second was Chocolate… can’t go wrong there, right? We followed the suggested recipe to make a dip with cream cheese, and the kids devoured it!
But then came the real test… Brownies!
First, the glop check: Brownie ingredients — Flour, Sugar, Cocoa, Baking Powder, Baking Soda, Salt. Good.
All of our mixes are 100% natural.
No fillers, additives or preservatives in any one of the mixes.
Every one of our mixes are hand-packed and hand-sealed.
They are made fresh to order because of the fresh nature of the product.
So we mixed them up, baked them up, and…
They look divine. And that photo at the top of the post is Nick eating them… Enough said!
And we still have a packet of sugar cookie mix to enjoy. Jewel is anxious to help me bake those up, and most importantly – decorate them!
I’m also looking forward to trying other Do You Bake products down the road. They have some terrific spice blends, as well as breads, whole wheat mixes, and even dog treats!
