Good Bye 2018, Hello 2019!

Happy New Year Everyone! As we close out 2018 and embark on 2019, we tend to look back at the previous year and remember all of the good times the year has brought us. One thing that we like to do here at Mixin’ It Up, is look back on all of the wonderful people and families that we have met over the past year, learning about our customers and hearing the stories that you all share with us.

It brings true joy and happiness to our hearts to hear the stories that you all have to share with us and how Mixin’ It Up has helped you, your family or someone you love.

We not only take pride in the work that we do and the products we provide to our customers, but we also LOVE looking back on the stories that you all have shared with us and seeing the impact we have had on our community.

Sometimes in the midst of the holiday craziness, we don’t always get the chance to hear these stories not because we don’t want to hear them, but because we are in the kitchen baking the days away making the best possible products for our customers both in store and those who place orders with us.

The one thing we have tried to invest into our customers is time. Time to hear their stories. Time to work with them to offer them a variety of products that can and do fit just about any type of special allergy need or preference. We want you to know that we strive to do our best, and to be the best to each customer who calls our store or walks through our doors. Why you ask? Because YOU matter to us and we want serve you to the very best of our abilities.

Before we plunge into 2019, we would love to hear from you. If you have a story about your Ceiliac journey and how you came to find Mixin’ It Up, or you have had a positive experience with us, we would love to read your stories. If you have a story or a positive experience with Mixin’ It Up or the owners/staff that you want to share with us, please leave a comment below this post, or leave us a comment on our Facebook link to this post.

Thank You all for an amazing 2018! Without you, Mixin’ It Up wouldn’t be possible. Thank you for all of your trust and support over the last two years. We hope there will be many more to come.

Let’s step through the door of 2019! Happy New Year!

It’s Italian Baby…

“If you ever get the opportunity to travel to Italy; be sure to indulge in at least one authentic Italian Pasta Dish. Italy is known for their sauces; one of them being egg-based Carbonara.

artisan pizza bread

This pasta dish pairs nicely with our savory, Italian seasoned Artisan Bread. Our Italian Artisan Bread is seasoned to perfection with rich, Italian, flavors. Our customers love this bread so much that it’s hard to keep it in stock. One particular gentlemen buys this bread for his wife who is newly Gluten Free. They both have shared with us that the bread reminds them of their trips to Italy; as they would sink their teeth into the freshly baked bread.

We’ve brought a tiny piece of Italy cuisine right to your table. This week ONLY we will have coupons for $1 off ALL Artisan Breads! Have you gotten yours?”

I’m Fallin for you cookie…

Seriously, I mean I love fall…like love it so much it makes me want to wear warm fuzzy socks, sit on the couch with the fireplace roaring, and drink a lot of coffee.

Well, to be fair the drinking coffee part comes no matter what the season, but the other things, they I only feel really like doing in the fall. I mean, its all the beauty that Minnesota can offer, somewhat cool temps, but yet we are not freezing our hind ends off…yet!

So you may ask what this has to do with cookies…well, frankly in my life there are so many things that have to do with cookies because, I love them! To me, they are the perfect little snack. The right size so I can feel like I am having a little something, but not so much that when I get up the next morning I dont feel like I have been in a sugar coma! Unless I eat 12, but than, I was going for the sugar coma, so I got what I needed 😉

Molasses cookies SCREAM fall to me, they are warm, homey, and sooo yummy.  They are the number one sellers in the store, for a reason! They arent snappy like their gingerbread counterpart, they are soft, chewy, and with just enough sugar to make you consider going back for another…and another.

So now is the time! Get your bag of this amazing cookie mix, make some for the kids, your spouse, or most importantly yourself! And enjoy! You will be so happy you did, after all, fall goes by quickly so embrace it with cookies!

Our heart to yours…cookies and life

Today, in honor of our love for all things Fall, and Molasses, we wanted to share our “reason” why, and how these yummy cookies came to be.

May we introduce you to Lisa, and her Molasses cookie story (yeah its a thing!)

The Story
It started when a sweet, elderly gentleman came into Mixin’ It Up looking for Molasses cookies for his lovely wife. He’d gotten them once before at a bakery, and his wife loved them.

Now, needing Gluten free, he stopped by our bakery to request his wives favorite, Molasses. Not just any molasses would do, it has to be chewy, soft, and melt in your mouth good, just the way she remembered.  The sad news, we didnt carry Molasses cookies…yet!

Making this special trip to town just for cookies, was something he felt joy in doing, and seeing his devastation, Lisa, one of our MIU bakers, determined, “I HAVE to do something!”

So she personally took on the task of creating and developing the best possible gluten-free and dairy free, molasses cookie.

Now that gentleman and many other customers enjoy our delicious cookies all year long. Lisa has prided herself on making these (and when she sees her favorite customer pull up in front of the store, you will often see her going out to the car to hand deliver these wonderful little sweet treats!)
Now you can make Lisa’s famous gluten-free Molasses cookies right in your own home, filled with deliciousness and love – from Lisa’s heart to yours!molasses
