Chocolate Arteries

More good news for lovers of dark chocolate: Tests have demonstrated that arteries of test subjects show signs of better blood flow after they ate dark chocolate. Researchers credit the sweets' high antioxidant content, which beats out red wine, green tea, and berry fruits.

Oooo. That makes me want to swim in a river of berries and red wine, eating chocolate bark at tea time with you.

HOW 2 USE BAG - Series No. 2

Our plastic bags are practically indestructable. This makes them very handy for the storage and transport of our fabulous granola. But there is nothing fabulous about landfills full of plastic. Why use something ONCE and throw it away when it will last FOREVER either way?

Email us your ideas about "How To Use This Bag"! A few brilliant idears:

"Waterproof Sock" ~Bryan Ryczek

"Homemade Ice Pack" ~Trish Singer

"When I travel, I wrap my leakable toiletries...just in case." ~Chris Santos

"The best way to use the plastic bags is to bring them back to the store and refill them with Nutty Steph's granola at the BULK BINS!" ~Trish Hasper

"A pooper-scooper. You can also use three to practice juggling." ~Rick Greeley

"Use them for icing bags when I ice cakes. They are really strong..better than the plastic disposable icing bags you have to buy." ~Louise MacKinnon

"I have been putting our sliced cheese in it as an airtight container." ~Deanna Boucher

"next day's lunch sack- kitty litter liner- water balloon" ~Rachel Wolff

IDEAS for Eatin'

IDEAS for EATING:

1) With brown rice for breakfast

2) On haagen daaz vanilla ice cream

3) In pancakes (2 cups per batch)

4) With goji berries added

5) With warm apples, especially in a pie pan under a cover of more Nutty Steph's, a bit of brown sugar and five pads of butter


FIVE MORE IDEAS:

1) For breakfast, with plain whole yogurt, the most local, most organic, most microproduced yogurt you can find. Or you can make yogurt..I haven't done it, but I've hear it's uncannily simple, takes about 12 hours. Heat up milk, add a bit of yogurt, squeeze it through a paper towel in a strainer, catch the remnants into a container while it sits overnight. Or something like that. Anyhow, I eat my granola every morning with Butterworks Farm plain whole yogurt. On a national level, try Brown Cow, Nancy's Organic or Fage greek yogurt.

2) On salad (vegetable or fruit)

3) As a basis for your turkey stuffing (Local free range turkey, best when self slaughtered)

4) On oatmeal

5) At the Langon Street Cafe doused in steamed milk

Candyman Hat

NUTTY REMAKES!


Speaking of wearing things fabulously: One day while browsing at the ReStore I found an old lieutenant's cap for $1.00. I felt overwhelmed with inspiration to outfit Steph's brilliant noggin with a special cap. I retrofitted it with $.10 trim and some wonderful quilted candy cane stripped material from the free bin. A few hours later... Wallah!! A candyman hat just like that!

You've got to be DEAD RED

All of us are required to color coordinate around here.

"I wouldn't be seen green
Ooo! Oo! Oo! Ah! Ah!
I wouldn't be caught dead
And if I'm caught at all
Then catch me in dead, red
Ooo!
You've got to be dead red
You've got to be real hot
So throw away those green gems
And wear rubies on your yacht

You've got to be dead red
You've got to have flash and flair
And if you're not seen red
Then you shouldn't be seen nowhere
Ah!" (Lyrics from The Wiz)

Nutty is THE WIZ! Join us as we follow her lead and WEAR RED as fabulously as she.
