Leave a comment

Yum Yum Dishes introduces the 9Plate, a 9-inch dinner plate that’s true to Yum Yum Dishes’

Asheville, NC, December 20, 2011 – Just in time for the New Year, Yum Yum Dishes introduces the 9Plate, a 9-inch dinner plate that’s true to Yum Yum Dishes’ motto: “moderation, not deprivation.”

The 9Plate is the perfect sized plate for people who want to keep their New Year’s resolutions to eat correctly sized portions for all their meals, says Tracy Adler, a mom and former restaurant owner who created the original Yum Yum Dishes.

“Dinner plates have grown over the years to anywhere from 11 to 14 inches, making it easy to over-serve and over-eat your meals,” Adler says. “The 9Plate is perfect for children, teens, and adults who want to enjoy all their favorite foods in moderation.”

The 9Plate comes with graphics sectioned to show the correct proportions of Protein, Carbs and Veggies, making it easy to eat a healthy mix of foods in the right amounts.

Yum Yum Dishes now offers its colorful snack bowls with lids so people can take them anywhere. These finely crafted 4-ounce ceramic bowls are safe for the oven, microwave and dishwasher and the perfect size for snacking in moderation.

“Our very popular Yum Yum Bowls are still the same great bowls you have come to know and love,” Adler says. “The new snap-on plastic lids allow you to carry your favorite snacks with you wherever you go.”

Both the plates and bowls come in pre-boxed sets in four fun colors: cherry red, sunshine yellow, pistachio green and bold blue. They retail for $29 per set of four for the plates and $24 per set of four for the bowls, plus shipping and tax if applicable.

Yum Yum Dishes plans a special introductory offer for people who sign up for the free Yummy Tip of the Week at www.YumYumDishes.com.

“When you sign up, you can send us your tips or favorite recipe and we will share them with the rest of the Yummy Community and give you credit,” Adler says. “You can email us at YumYumDishes@gmail.com.”

About Yum Yum Dishes: These fun, colorful ceramic bowls and plates were created by Tracy Adler, a mother and former restaurant owner, to help people control portions. For more information, visit the online press kit at www.YumYumDishes.PressKit247.com and the public site www.YumYumDishes.com.

Coda Coffee’s Farm2Cup Program helps People Feel Good about the Coffee they Drink

Leave a comment

Global Program Improves Quality of Coffee for Customers and Quality of Life for Farmers and their Communities

Denver, CO, December 02, 2011 – Coda Coffee, a Denver-based specialty coffee roaster and sustainable wholesaler, today announced its Farm2Cup program. The program aims to continuously improve Coda’s coffee quality and positively impact farming communities around the world. Through the Farm2Cup program, Coda Coffee invests money and works directly with coffee farmers, who then reinvest in their coffee and community. Coda expects Farm2Cup participants to use the funds they receive for research, development, experimentation, best practice sharing and sometimes inner-village or cross-community competitions to improve coffee quality. The program also requires farmers to give back to their local community.

Coda Coffee informally implemented the program as a business practice about two years ago, but is now formalizing the program, launching www.farm2cup.org and labeling the coffee bags for customers and partners.

“By simply drinking Farm2Cup coffee, you know you’re enjoying a product that supports people around the world,” said Tim Thwaites, Coda Coffee co-founder. “In addition, the coffee exceeds taste and quality expectations because of best practice sharing and the traceability of the coffee from farm to cup.”

Farm2Cup can drastically impact the livelihood of the farmer’s family, employees and even an entire village. Coda Coffee works with farmers around the world, in countries such as Guatemala, Ethiopia, Brazil and Honduras. Some examples of how Farm2Cup funds have helped farmers and communities include:

El Salvador: Coda Coffee held fundraisers for a school in Ayutepeque, which funded a new kitchen, utensils, desks and chairs for the children. Additionally, the community is working on plans for a school library.

Guatemala: In Guatemala, Coda purchases high quality micro lots of coffee to encourage overall product improvement. The community has also held cupping competitions, where the local coffee farmers come together to have their coffee graded. The premium that Coda Coffee pays for the best coffee has helped build a road to A’Achimbal, a school, church, community center and 80 homes with electricity and running water.

Las Capucas, Honduras: Cupping competitions in Honduras also helped improve coffee quality, which increased the coffee’s price and allowed one community to build cupping labs, a wet mill and a dry mill.

Coda Coffee performs site visits and its importer, Atlas Coffee Importer, assists with annual quality control checks. The trips are to make sure that farmers are spending time and money on improving their products and communities, which allows them to stay in the Farm2Cup program.

“There is a great story behind every cup of Farm2Cup coffee,” added Tommy Thwaites, Coda Coffee co-founder. “This program helps personalize those stories and makes a global purchase feel local. A better quality of life for our farmers actually does make a better cup of coffee for our customers.”

To learn more about the program, visit www.farm2cup.org. To find Farm2Cup coffee, look for the Farm2Cup logo at coffee shops. Farm2Cup products are available where Coda Coffee is sold. To find a retail location near you that serves Coda Coffee, visit www.codacoffee.com.

The Benson Mills Group (BMG), a food safety firm which provides food safety training, consulting and commercial cleaning throughout Metro Atlanta, asserts that frequent hand-washing every day can keep the doctor away!

Redan, GA (USA), Wednesday – November 09, 2011 — The old adage says “an apple a day keeps the doctor away.” The Benson Mills Group (BMG) ( http://www.BensonMillsGroup.com ), a food safety firm which provides food safety training, consulting and commercial cleaning throughout Metro Atlanta, asserts that frequent hand-washing every day can keep the doctor away!

With cold and flu season upon us, BMG is ramping up its efforts to encourage frequent hand-washing with soap and water. In the food safety arena, hand-washing is one of the most essential and cost effective weapons against spreading foodborne illnesses. The same is true for preventing the spread of germs and bacteria that cause illnesses such as colds and the flu.

To get the word out about the importance of hand-washing with soap and water, BMG is taking its expertise and training to one of our most valuable resources – our children. Through a community outreach partnership with Georgia Headstart’s McIntosh Trail, BMG will be teaching 115 three to five year-olds the importance of hand-washing and demonstrating proper hand-washing techniques. The young participants will be encouraged to not only make frequent hand-washing with soap a habit, but to urge their parents, guardians, siblings and friends to do the same. Let’s all make frequent hand-washing with soap and water a part of our daily routines. Let’s do it for our health. Let’s do it for our lives.

The Benson Mills Group is an award-winning food firm dedicated to nurturing the vision of foodservice professionals and business owners.

On Friday September 30th MyDish.co.uk Will Be Turning To Its Baking Recipes In Support Of The Macmillan Cancer Support Event The ‘World’s Biggest Coffee Morning’

Leave a comment

Macmillan Cancer Support is a charity close to MyDish.co.uk’s heart and as such is urging all to offer their support this coming Friday for the Macmillan ‘Coffee Morning’ event

Established in 1990, the Macmillan Cancer Support’s ‘Coffee Morning’ event quickly grew in popularity and soon became known as the ‘world’s largest coffee morning’. Last year alone saw 43,000 people get involved in this great cause helping to raise over eight million pounds.

Cancer is still a huge health risk for the UK population with statistics showing 1 in 3 people suffering from the illness at some point in their lives. These individuals require financial, emotional and medical support which Macmillan attempts to address and provide.

It is for this reason and many others that the founder of MyDish.co.uk, Carol Savage, is a big supporter of the charity and will be baking her favourite recipes for the Coffee Morning this coming Friday. Donning the chef’s hat and sourcing her favourite baking recipes, Carol will be baking her best cupcake recipes and selling them to support the Macmillan trust.

Asked about the Coffee Morning event Carol Savage said ‘Cancer is something that affects us all in some form or another.  My Mother-in law Maureen died of Leukeimia and she inspired me with her recipes to start MyDish.co.uk. Cancer is a very real illness that is just too common and we should do what we can to help and offer support .A few cupcakes here and there is not much to ask’

Making even the smallest donation can still make a big difference.  £25 alone can pay for the cost of a Macmillan nurse for an hour, helping to provide essential medical, practical and emotional support for cancer sufferers.

£51 can purchase a liquidiser for someone who can unfortunately no longer eat solid food as a result of their cancer treatment. These services and many like them are just some of the essentials cancer sufferers need and the Macmillan trust helps provide them.

If you need some recipe ideas this coming Friday then visit MyDish.co.uk.  Home to thousands of good recipes, MyDish.co.uk has hundreds of baking recipes and cupcake recipes ensuring that everyone can find the perfect baking recipe for the Coffee Morning .

You can add your own suggestions if you feel the MyDish.co.uk com munity would benefit. In addition to this you can also see loads of great recipes on MyDish that have been donated to Macmillan by big name celebrities. Check out Eva Longoria’s lovely Churros and Gwyneth Paltrow’s gorgeous Pancakes. Alternatively Judi Denchs’ delicious Rum and Chocolate Fudge may be more to your taste.

So this Friday spare a little extra change, get your baking gloves on, drink some coffee and join Carol Savage and www.mydish.co.uk in supporting this extremely worthwhile charity, as together we can make a difference.
