| Back-to-School Desserts! | |||
 Make Back-to-School Better with Dessertby Emily Buehler, Contributing Writer I didn't have a grade-school bully stealing the cookies from my lunchbox. I had Danny O., the popular, charming blonde kid who got straight A's. He didn't exactly steal my desserts; he asked politely, knowing I was too shy to say no. I fantasized about doing the 'pepper trick' that my Mom had used when she was a kid, but I didn't want Danny to hate me when he bit into my Mom's famous blonde brownie and got a mouthful of black pepper. Eventually, Mom caught on and started packing two desserts, one for me and one for Danny. Why did Danny target me? Because he knew I was a pushover? Or because I had the best desserts? You might not have time to bake blonde brownies, but some good alternatives are on sale at the co-op! This week only, owners save $1.30 on a 4 pack of Weaver Street Market-made cupcakes. Pack one in your child's lunchbox and she'll be swarmed with Danny O's. Also on sale, for the month of September, are Newman's Own Organic peanut butter cups—the yummy-ness of peanut butter and chocolate in an all natural form! If your kids love candy, look for gummy bears and jellybeans on sale. And if you're looking for something a little healthier, Fig Newman's, Fruit Leather, and Smooshed Fruit are also on sale, as well as Annie's bunny-shaped fruit snacks for the little ones. If you have time for some baking, go easy on yourself and use Immaculate Baking's ready-to-bake cookie dough, in flavors like Chocolate Chunk and Vanilla Sugar, available in the refrigerator case and on sale for $2.99 through September. September is Organic Harvest Month. Try these wonderful organic products! Newman's Own Organic Chocolate Cups (including the PB Cups!) (1.2 oz) $1.19 Let's Do Organic Gummy Bears (3.5 oz) $2.29 Surf Sweets Organic Gummy Bears, Worms, and Jellybeans (2.75 oz) $1.49 Newman's Own Organic Fig Newmans (12 oz) $3.29 Stretch Island Fruit Company Fruit Leather (0.5 oz) $0.39 Fruitabu Organic Smooshed Fruit (0.4 oz) $0.45 Annie's Homegrown Organic Bunny Fruit Snacks (4 oz) $3.29 Immaculate Baking Organic Cookie Dough (14 oz) $2.99 |
