Every summer I sell my natural soaps, and hand crafted accessories at a local farmers' market. This year I am adding homemade jams and baked goods to my list of products. Right now I am testing recipes...all made with a healthy twist...like whole grains, mostly organic and under 250 calories per serving. Now here is the problem: After I make these (healthy, yet much too enticing ) foods I have to find a way to move them out, or I might end up doing a little too much tasting. I live alone, so I can't feed them anyone here. I will probably take them to a friend's place tomorrow...if I last that long...any Ideas ???
Yes, Shmead...better trashed than on me...but I feel awful turning good food into compost. I can make smaller size recipes, and give it away but there will be more , because I have to fine tune the ingredients. I am trying to avoid throwing it away...but I might have to get over it.
I think in addition to neighbors and friends, what about offering samples to local coffee shops, bookstores, libraries, offices, churches, etc.? They would probably appreciate the food and you may get some new customers!
do you have a foodbank in the area or homeless shelter or anything like that? They're always looking for stuff.
Do you know of any single moms (or dads) in the area that could use the extra help? Do any of your friends know?
My mom was a single mom of four, and if anyone ever offered us food it was greatly appreciated.
Yes, these are really great ideas ! I think friends, and the local soup kitchen (thanks, Jessica) are good options for now, and I love astrophe's sneak preview suggestion for when the recipes are perfected.
