We can finally share the news… GoNanas banana bread mixes are officially NATIONWIDE AT 300 TARGET STORES, getting us to over 2000 grocery stores nationwide! 😆🎉🛒 I remember back in 2020 when Annie Slabotsky and I would call grocery stores one-by-one, marking our sales calls on a whiteboard. To be here now, launching the products we made in our dorm room in one of the most iconic grocery stores in the country, is truly a dream come true (and one my younger self would not believe). Target is carrying our 3 best-selling, vegan and gluten free banana bread mixes: original, chocolate chip, and fudge brownie. We saw an opportunity to revolutionize the baking industry and Target saw our vision. A huge thank you to Kelly Preston and the Portu Sunberg team for believing in us and making this dream a reality. I think it’s important to acknowledge the road getting to this milestone. Many people assume things happen overnight, but rather, I’ve found they happen overtime as a direct result of hard work, teamwork, passion, and not taking no for an answer. It started with the whiteboard 3 years ago, and eventually led here. And lastly, to all of you. We’re on a rocket ship and we need you on it. Your support makes the difference in us staying on shelves. When you guys show up, it SHOWS in the numbers. And If you’re new here, WELCOME. We’re the banana bread that everyone can eat as we’re vegan, gluten free, and allergen friendly. Baking has never been easier or more indulgent with our mixes. All you need to do is head to Target. Grab your bananas. And get to baking. It's easier than you think. If you have any tips on how to maximize performance at Target, if you could drop it in the comments, would be forever grateful.

Have you ever looked for a dessert that was quite enjoyable and didn't take long to make? This recipe is one of those types of desserts. But it is Dairy Free also! It's hard to have dairy-free desserts, and if you need to monitor your dairy, this dairy-free ambrosia recipe is for you to try! Ambrosia recipes became popular in the 1920s and 1950s as potluck dishes. In our Philadelphia neighborhood, they also called it a five-cup fruit salad. Each ingredient was about 1 cup and mixed with one cup of the creamy component. My husband introduced me to this dessert when we first got married. This ambrosia recipe was inspired by my SURPRISE DAIRY FREE GLUTEN FREE PARFAIT RECIPE on this site. While this recipe is per person, the ambrosia recipe has more ingredients and is excellent for a crowd. Ingredients 16 oz. Dairy-Free Yogurt - KiteHill plain made with Almond milk 10 oz jar Maraschino cherries - pitted and stem free 20 oz. Can Pineapple tidbits in water 15 oz. Mandarin oranges 1 c of shredded coconut dried or fresh 1 c of marshmallows minis (optional) The above links are from Amazon. I will receive a small referral fee if you click through and buy something on Amazon. Instructions First, prep and combine all the ingredients for the large bowl. Start by measuring the DF yogurt, add the canned and drained Pineapple tidbits in water, and the drained Mandarin oranges. Next, drain and cut the maraschino cherries in half and add to the bowl. Add Coconut to the bowl and mix well. We tossed a handful of marshmallows in at the last minute. Then, refrigerate it for about 1 hour or until cold. Reveal: After we waited for the Ambrosia salad to chill, we enjoyed it with the whole family. It was wonderful and not very sweet Visit the blog for more details. #sabrinasorganizing https://lnkd.in/gUTZcFPn #dairyfreerecipes #Potluckmeals #dairyfreeambrosia #dessertfavorites #Bestrecipes #AmbrosiaRecipe #easyrecipe

Are you using some substitutes in your holiday baking this year? There's some complex chemistry behind alternatives to gluten, eggs and gelatine — let Victoria Atkinson explain in this feature!

This Stracciatella with kale soup recipe is one of my favorites from when I was growing up.  It is an Italian Egg Drop soup. My mother made it all the time in the winter. She liked to make it without vegetables. It gave you protein, was quick to make, and warmed you up on those cold, busy weeknights. But I prefer the veggies in it to make it a completely balanced meal. Any meal that includes vegetables in a one-pot dish is lovely.  Making this dish takes no time at all, and of course, it's Keto too. I hope you try it and let me know how it goes. Simple Ingredients for this Stracciatella soup: 8 cups low sodium broth2 pieces garlic4 eggs scrambled4 cups defrosted frozen chopped kale1/2 cup Pecorino Romano grated cheeseSalt and Pepper to taste Quick Instructions to make Keto style Stracciatella with Kale Recipe: Defrost chopped kale. Scramble eggs with Pecorino Romano grated cheese, salt, and pepper. Set aside. Heat broth, kale, and garlic in a large dutch oven. Cover partially and boil for 5-7 minutes. Slowly add scrambled eggs to the boiling soup. Wait 30 seconds and stir. The eggs will turn into chunks. Cook for 3 minutes. Serve with toast and sprinkled extra Pecorino Romano. So, what do you think? It was super easy and quick to make. It's great for those days when you forget to pull something from the freezer. We often make it with and without kale. Feel free to change it up and customize the recipe the way that works for you.  Visit these recipes for more easy soup recipes.

Today is National Oatmeal Muffin Day. Known for its health benefits, millions of people start each day with an oatmeal muffin. Muffins are usually served for breakfast or with dinner, and are usually made with flour, yeast or baking powder, and sugar. But the oatmeal muffin replaces the flour with the healthier oatmeal. Raisins, bananas, blueberries and other healthy fruits often compliment oatmeal muffins. Sometimes nuts are added into the recipe as well for that extra crunch. Muffins have been around for several centuries, beginning with English-style muffins. Dating back to the 10th century in Wales, this type of muffin uses yeast for rising and is cooked on a griddle. By the end of the 18th century, Americans improved on the recipe for muffins and developed it into what we know today as quick bread muffins, prepared in individual molds. This style of muffin was made possible when pearlash was discovered. Pearlash, or potash, as it is commonly known, was eventually replaced when baking soda became mainstream. American-style muffins need molds for baking because batter is used to create them instead of dough. The shape and size are similar to a cupcake, and recipes for oatmeal muffins started to be published in American cookbooks from the mid-1800s onwards. If you don’t want to make your version of Oatmeal Muffins yourself (easy recipe —> https://lnkd.in/dfEt2sX3 ) order some oatmeal muffins at a nearby bakery and enjoy with your family or friends.
