2008-11-13 Carey Weeks: Past soldier food leaves much to be desired ShreveportTimes The Times

You may be asking how making sugar cookies could possibly make me think of foods and military engagements of the past. The answer to your question is simple. Those cookies, once finished, were carefully taken to the Municipal Auditorium where a Veterans Day celebration took place as well as a new exhibit showcasing the war heroes we have all come to know from the pages of history. I proudly baked and decorated those cookies in honor of my grandfather, friends and the many ancestors who fought for my freedom. And of course, I removed one cookie from the platter, sitting it on a little plate for my dear husband and Marine. Happy birthday, darling and Semper Fi.

How it makes your life easier: As the mother of two children with severe food allergies, Ive tasted my fair share of bland, crumbly, Sahara-like cookies. Its hard to fashion a flavorful treat with a decent texture when its devoid of wheat, eggs, nuts and milk. But the Home Free cookie line has achieved what I thought was impossible: a delicious wheat-free, dairy-free, egg-free, peanut-free and tree-nut-free cookie that actually makes you want to come back for more. Whats more, the cookies passed the safety test in my home -- a tough thing to achieve with a kid who is allergic to all of the above. Home Free cookies are made from organic ingredients in a dedicated bakery free of the aforementioned allergens. (A couple of the products note that "due to agricultural practices, oats at times can contain traces of wheat" and the Web

2008-11-30 In good taste - LA Daily News

Razzle Dazzle is a feast for the eyes, with a vast array of fabulous creations displayed in a style reminiscent of an old-fashioned candy store.

2008-11-21 McAlester News-Capital, McAlester, OK - Food safety tips for the holiday season

Roasts and steaks should be cooked to a minimum of 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare. Ground beef products should have an internal temperature of 160 degrees. A whole chicken or turkey should be cooked to at least 180 degrees and pork products should reach 160 degrees. Heat fully cooked ham to 140 degrees. Clean the food thermometer with hot, soapy water before and after each use. As tempting as it will be to stretch out on the couch following a tasty meal, take a few minutes to refrigerate perishable foods. This will slow the growth of bacteria and prevent foodborne illness. Leftovers should be refrigerated within two hours after being served. Also, make sure the temperature of the refrigerator is set at 40 degrees or below.

2008-11-11 Women to Watch

Another thing to watch for in the coming year is whether Ms. Rosenfelds efforts to make the food giant more nimble and entrepreneurial will pay off. Progress has been made in China, with Krafts iconic Oreo cookies. Marketers there learned the cookie was too sweet for Chinese tastes, so they reformulated it and also developed Oreos in a new wafer format. Kraft doubled its Oreo revenue in China as a result.

Now that the costs of food ingredients and fuel are settling down, investors will be watching to see if Kraft can widen its margins and regain some of the market share lost to store-brand goods. Investors also will be paying attention to how Ms. Rosenfeld, 55, reacts if the economy slips into a prolonged recession. Already Kraft has been touting the value of its lower-priced but high-margin products, such as Kool-Aid powdered beverages. A continuing economic slowdown could benefit food companies like Kraft, which are often viewed as safe havens for investors, especially as consumers cut their restaurant visits in favor of dining at home.

2008-11-12 FOOD GURU: Compromise cookies - Student Living

These cookies were always a bakery treat for me, something I thought couldnt get any better even if made from scratch. But when I tried them last year to deflower my Canadian roommates, they turned out to be easy to make and were almost as pretty as the bakery version. Though Im not one to toot my own horn, the last time I made them a native New Yorker (whose mom owned a bakery that made these things) told me they were the best Black and White Cookies shed ever had. And if a Yankees fan can say that to a Red Sox fan, these cookies really do inspire compromise.
