Cool Networking

One of the things that I love about having a small business is the wonderful people that I've met in my networking encounters. I started going to networking meetings in Howard County with a friend who owns her own business. This wonderful group is called Mom's Inc. This organization was founded by a woman named Nancy Daniels. It meets in Clarksville and is set up as a networking/support group that meets monthly. The group is friendly towards women with children and has it's meetings in the daytime. Check out their website for more info. on location and meeting times.
Lisa Jo Finstrom was so excited about Mom's Inc. that she started a Mom's Inc. group in Bethesda. Check out their website for info. on members and meeting times and location.

Yihung Mohs of Dream Dinners in Cloverly also started coming to Mom's Inc. in Howard County and decided to start a group closer to her home and business. It is Mom's Inc. in Silver Spring and it just celebrated it's one year anniversary.

The women that come to these networking meetings have diverse businesses. If you or someone you know owns a small business feel free to come and visit a meeting. There is no charge to attend a meeting. This is a non-profit organization. Attendies are highly encouraged to join the chapter after the third visit. Annual dues are minimal and go towards meeting costs.

New Crunch Product

So, I had a request for an even healthier alternative to the Crunch Munch. Crunch Munch is made with Corn Chex cereal. Today I made a version using Wheat Chex. The texture is different and it is much crunchier. I'm trying to determine if this is a snack that appeals to my customers. Please, let me know what you think!

I'm working hard in the kitchen, infusing herbs into chocolate and getting ready for some new food adventures.
