Latest Foodie Trends Part 2


THE HYBRIDS= fusion of two fav eats 

Croissant Muffins (cruffin?)...buttery flaky + texture of a muffin by C'est Gourmet

How smart is this-already a summer camp staple-Stuffed Puffs® (aka marshmallows) filled with chocolate-makes s'mores time a two ingredient treat...ensuring the proper marshmallow roast-chocolate melt timing=perfection. Simple idea maybe-but the manufacturing is key. Available now at WALMARTS $3.98
Doughnut cookies-from Winston-Salem, NC's  Dewey's Bakery known for their delicious Moravian cookies-showed off some new items in The Doughnut Shop line. Inspired by the bakery's 1930 doughnut recipe-the soft cookie-tiny cake -merge...in -of course-iconic doughnut flavors-Old Fashioned Glazed, Chocolate Glazed, Apple Fritter...and Cinnamon Bun- are available online (originally a QVC exclusive).



The Cauliflower fusion love fest continues-from riced, pizza crust to pasta.  A bestselling item at Trader Joes...Cauliflower Gnocchi ditches the flour/dough/eggs for a lot of cauliflower (and a little flour)! Another version-gluten-free and NON-GMO is new- by Sauces'n Love. RTE ... just heat.
Cereal-cookies that aren't rice crispyish... Evoke Foods- muesli is a whole grains-seeds-fruit treat. Their new  Happy Snaps' flavor- fruit/seed sweet bites of that morning cereal staple-granola-with real deal oats...is a snackable  thin crisp cookie. No artificial stuff (preservatives) nor any trans fats or corn syrup.
Positively addictive...Effie's buttery crisp biscuit-cookie hybrids are just a tad sweet...made with authentic ingredients like stone ground wheat, malted cocoa, pecans, wildflower honey,  and walnuts - that provide distinguished flavors that taste truly homemade. We eat straight out of the packaging-but the thin square shapes-also works as a foundation for creamy, goat, crumbly bleu or sharp cheddar cheese  tidbits. Or ground up a bunch and pressed into pie crust duty.
FYI: House gift alert-a sampler of flavors-and a heavenly pairing up of biscuits/cheeses-with the iconic Murray's Cheese Shop in NYC-all festively packaged-and shipped fresh- makes a great offering for many occasions!
