1 American Vintage Wine Biscuits come in Red Wine/Black Pepper, White Wine/Shallot/Cayenne and Chianti/Oregano/Crushed Red Pepper. In a word: delectable. 2 Nut fans will flip over kicky Killer Pecans and superbly seasoned Tree Nuts (walnuts, cashews, more) from People Gotta Eat. One bowl will not suffice. 3 Ordering beautifully done-by-hand tidbits from Dufour Pastry Kitchens is like hiring a pro to work at your place. Savory options to pop in the oven include Spicy Spring Roll, 4-Cheese/Roasted Garlic Puff and Mushroom Truffle Risotto in Phyllo Flower. 4 Whether Hot or Mild, buttery cheese snaps from Willow River Farms linger lusciously on the tongue. 5 Dean & DeLuca’s Italian Harvest pack comes with eggplant, onions, artichockes, olives and peppers, perfect for an antipasti plate. – JMG

This holiday season is already off to a sweet start as many dedicated volunteers at The Center Serving Persons with Mental Retardation, near San Felipe, are busy baking their usual thousands of gingersnaps, fruitcakes and cheese snaps for distribution both near and far.

“We work day and night to fill the huge amount of orders that are flowing into our office,” said Alicia Lee, volunteer coordinator of the gingersnap program. “We have people ordering our delicious cookies from all over the country and we are shipping to lands as far away as New Zealand.”

 

 
Over 2 Million dollars in product has been sold since the project started in 1998 and
more than 1 Million provided to improve the lives of the people served by
THE CENTER Serving Persons with Mental Retardation.
