Why Growlers Are the Perfect Beer Gifts

It’s official. Beer is definitely the most popular alcoholic drink in the U.S., ahead of wines and other spirits. But competition among beers is intense, and small-batch craft beers are grabbing a significant market share. This represents a generational shift, with Millennials who prefer to drink beer according to the season driving the change. Craft beers typically have a shorter shelf life, and this feature has led to the growth of accessories like growlers to store and carry small-batch beers. A variety of growlers, from more traditional glass and ceramics to insulated stainless steel growlers, make it easier to share and gift your favorite craft beer.

Small batch beers are big news
As of 2016, beer is the most popular alcoholic drink in the U.S. A Gallup poll found that 43% of all drinkers prefer beer to wine and spirits.

Serve Ice Cream to Your Guests to Make Your Party Successful

If you are planning to host an event or a party in the near future, one of the most important things you should concentrate on is the food that you served to your guests. A successful party needs a number of factors that need to come together and work seamlessly for things to be successful. This can include things like the right venue and the right entertainment.

This is where choosing to serve the right frozen desserts can really come in handy. Frozen treats are appreciated by people all over the country and things like ice cream cups, frozen yogurt cups, and gelato cups are appreciated by people of all ages and stripes.

MicroGreens are an Easy Way to Add Color and Diversity to Your Plate

Vegetables have never been the favorite part of most people’s meals. And if you’re a parent, you know how hard it is to try to get your child to eat just one helping. There’s an easier option for everyone that you may not know about already. They’re called Microgreens, and they’re a smaller form of edible greens. They’re usually produced from young vegetables. Studies even suggest that they may be more healthy for you than regular vegetables.

These organic Micro greens are helpful to both children and adults. Feeding your children a few of these smaller pieces is undoubtedly easier than trying to give them a spoonful of full-sized vegetables. The average size of a Microgreen is only about one to one and a half inches long. This also keeps the risk of your child choking on them down, but if you still want to cut them up you can remove the stem Continue reading “MicroGreens are an Easy Way to Add Color and Diversity to Your Plate”

The Best Wedding Menus Are Simpler Than You Think

Wedding trends cycle in and out of fashion, and these trends include wedding menus as well. Dietary tastes and preferences have evolved over time: gluten-free, vegan, vegetarian, and paleo are some of the popular dietary preferences. Heavier fare such as thick sauces, starchy vegetables and some meats have fallen out of favor. If you are planning your wedding or working with a catering firm or event planner, here are some wedding menu options to consider:

Self-Serve Options

As weddings have become less formal over time, so have wedding dining options. Depending on your tastes and budget, your best wedding menu might include a serve yourself bar featuring salsa and guacamole, a taco station, or other casual self-serve options such as sliders, or even a sundae station. Guests can create their own dishes based on their unique needs and preferences.

Great Gatsby Style

The Gilded Era has come into vogue once again with Great Gatsby-themed weddings and receptions. The di Continue reading “The Best Wedding Menus Are Simpler Than You Think”

Salad Definitions Continue to Expand in High End Restaurants

Your 86 year old dad and his wife may be the only two people you know who still call a simple bowl of iceberg lettuce a salad. The fact that they use an ancient combination shooting and shopping hand held appliance to add slivers of carrots and celery to the bowl is all the extras that they ever need. No organic micro greens for them. No thinly sliced snow peas are needed.
In fact, when your Dad visits your house the salads that you and your daughters prepare often go uneaten except by your husband, yourself, and the girls. Wanting to make sure that you have served something that is appealing to everyone, you have actually gotten in the habit of preparing two different salads. One with iceberg lettuce and and slivered carrots and celery; one full of organic micro greens, radishes, snow peas, and a wide variety of other vegetables that were recently purchased at a local farmer’s market.
The Generational Food Gap Is More Apparent Than Ever

The Importance of The Coffee Shop Industry In The United States

For many people, going to a coffee shop is part of a daily or weekly ritual. Many coffee shops offer a variety of products aside from coffee alone, like hot soup and pastry items. Hot soup is particularly appealing to many coffee shop patrons, as hot soup can be the perfect snack or light meal on a cold winter’s day, and the hot soup offered at coffee shops is often homemade and relatively low in price. In fact, hot soup has become so popular throughout the United States that more than thirty percent of all delis are looking to enhance their hot soup offerings and stations, with the total bowls of hot soup consumed by people in the United States exceeding ten billion, with women more likely to consume hot soup than men.

But coffee still remains a hugely important component of many an American day, with thirty percent of the population of the United States drinking coffee on an at least occasional basis, wi Continue reading “The Importance of The Coffee Shop Industry In The United States”
