Sweet, sweet treat success!

I'm SO very pumped to have some new treats to add to the Andorah's Feast goodie list! My first attempt at the NEW Sweet Tart Macaswoons turned out better than expected with rave reviews from my honey, his good friend and of course, me. Lucuma powder might be my new favorite ingredient. (Thanks for introducing me, Deb!) I'm sure it's what made them that extra bit of awesome. The strawberries give them such delectable sweetness and a lovely pink hue and the lemon juice and zest give them the perfect lift of freshness.

Another new recipe that I'm LOVING is one I discovered last weekend. Raw brownies. I tweeked another Pinterest recipe and made them again this week only I dehydrated them to make them craft sale ready and more cakey. The heart shaped cookie cutter made them all kinds of cute but DANG was it a ton of work separating the hearts from the gooey batter bits in between the hearts. But the extra batter gave me an idea to use up some candy sticks I've had waiting for a project. And so Brawnie Choco-Pops were born! Rolled in some coconut, cacao nibs and goji bits, these sweet treats are perfect, brownie goodness. They've got a wee kick with the added cayenne pepper. One of my favorite combos is cacao and cayenne. Sure to warm your heart from the inside out! Stay tuned for updates on my next sale and be sure to follow me on Facebook to get my most recent updates, recipes and much more! -andee

A new year & a new plan for Andorah's Feast!

So, it's a new year & Andorah's Feast is undergoing a bit of a new plan. Deb and I have both felt that although it's been a labor of love, it's been very labor intensive as well as costly both financially & physically on both of us. Deb has decided to focus on being well & healthy & so has stepped down from Andorah's Feast for now. My hope is to somehow find a way to keep the work involved with keeping Andorah's Feast going while finding balance in my personal & professional life.

I'm not sure what that means & what's the next step for Andorah's Feast but I do know I don't want to stop making food for all of you! I need your feedback, your requests, your ideas & most of all your support to help me figure out how to make this dream stay alive. So, if you are excited about eating delicious, whole foods & discovering new flavors to incorporate into your daily meals, help me spread the good word about Andorah's Feast! Thank you so very much for your support & guidance through all of this! Now let's EAT!!!

Deb and I had another great weekend of sales with our tasty treats! The John Pritchard School was a lovely sale with a lot of new faces and the Crescentwood Craft Sale on Sunday had a few familiar faces along with some new Andorah's Feast fans.

Our new Overnight Oatmeal Mason Jars were a hit so we'll be sure to have plenty at our next few sales. They make an excellent host or hostess gift and will fit perfect in a stocking, too! Deb is also working on a new Omega Me Crazy Brekky Booster for you folks who are sensitive to oats in any form. Details to come but you can rest assured, it'll be all kinds of yummy. We're working on a few new Flaxers like the Ciao Bella Flaxer with red pepper flakes, onion and some basil and oregano from my garden for a saucy Italian flavor. And the Flurry of Curry Flaxer is in the works too. Deb is also working on another cracker called Thai Tanic featuring some classic Thai flavors that you're sure to love.

I'm tweaking my Salted Peanutbucker Cookies and Deb is trying her hand at a new version of the O-Gee Goji treats. Needless to say, we'll be spending a lot of time in the kitchen over the next couple weeks.

You'll be able to find us next at the Winnipeg Makers Market on Friday December 6th from 5pm to 9:30pm at the Frame Arts Warehouse at 318 Ross just off Princess in the Exchange District. This will be an EPIC Makers Market that you won't want to miss with awesome live music and tons of great handmade vendors of all kinds. The next day we'll have some of our treats available at a Vegan Bake Sale Fundraiser for Quagga and DCIN, both local animal rescues that are doing some awesome work for the fur babies of Winnipeg. It's from 2pm to 4pm at one of our favorite places, Boon Burger on Bannatyne. Then on Sunday we'll be at the Crafted By Hand Sale at the Notre Dame Community Centre at 271 Rue de la Cathedrale with an early start at 9am until 4pm.
