Inspiration Kitchen

Here are my two advisors today:



Guess who came over to check out the Mia Love Eco Treat Kitchen? Our inspiration, my brother, David.

Why is he our inspiration?

I'm hoping that the desire for people to buy wholesome treats for their dogs and cats enables him to be employed.

What's the big deal about that?

Well, David is 28, does not talk, is severely disabled, and has autism.

Why is this such a big deal right now?

Yesterday we received a phone call from a local police department asking us to pick up my brother because his "caregiver" left him in her car for over an hour. Police reports state that he was drenched in sweat and that the seedy hotel is known for active drug deals and prostitution.

Now our family is faced without any services because of the lack of qualified service providers...people we trust to keep my brother safe, is limited.

Sadly, we trusted this person for ten years.

End of that saga and on to more opportunities!

Oh and by the way, we made Fido Flax today which is ground flax, parmesan, and water. It was delicious and enjoyed by all three of us!

See you at the market!

Brrrutiful Day at the Ormond Beach Market!

Wow! I love the cold weather–it’s invigorating and we can appear thinner instantly by pealing off layers of clothing. Today Ormond Beach was crisp and clean. The amazing aromas of the Swiss Baker, Armond, on one side of me and the Italian Spice guys on the other. We had baked a new treat called Fido Flax that’s downright heavenly smelling with ground flax, parmesan, and garlic. Another new treat that was a hit today was the O’Shannon with organic spinach, potato flour, oat flour, parmesan and a hint of garlic. The O’Shannon will be a hot item for St. Patrick’s Day.
So on to the pictures of the fabulous canines from the market today. See you at the Sanford Market this Saturday!

New Stuff Cookin' in Mia's Kitchen!

Peanut Butter Ravioli, Pretzel Twists, Loosey Goosey Version 1.1, Veggie Delight dehydrated snack, and a super nutritious flax treat. Life is good in the kitchen for Mia!

Crazy Windy Day at Sanford

Oh. My. Goodness.
It was rough. Gusting winds up to 25 mph and trying to hold down your canopy made it a difficult day. We met some fascinating people and their dogs. That always makes it worth it! Enjoy the photos and see you next Saturday.

Fabulous Canines from the Ormond Market

Superstars!

Ormond Debut

What a beautiful day and my view was of the intercoastal waterway--good day at the office! The Ormond Farmer's Market is a bit more prim than Sanford. That's not a bad thing because the people were still terrific. My neighbors were extremely helpful. A special thanks to Shy and his crew for helping me set up the tent. That's a great workout! A beautiful produce stand was on one side of us and Transformational Yoga was on the other. The Yoga ladies were playing peaceful, calm music and the live music of the one-man band made it an interesting eclectic mix. Think Sweet Home Alabama and OOOOMMMMMM! There was quite a bit of traffic specifically Vermont, upstate NY, WV, and Indiana. I am very grateful that there are many Grandparents out there thinking of their sweet GrandDogs to purchase some Mia Love for. It's time to gear up for Sanford so the sweet potatoes and carrots are dehydrating as I type this. I love my "job".

Here's my inspiration

Sanford Farmer's Market 1/30/10

The rain held off until it was time to pack up and leave! Great day, great people, great vendors. It's the little market with a big heart! Thanks to Jeff and Michelle for all the hard work and to my great neighbors today, Bill from Pampered Chef and Pat who is a living double-edged sword with a whole bunch of black belts for a kick.
These are some of the canines that stopped by-thank you!
