Last-minute company and a house without air conditioning created the perfect storm for Lindsey…
You see, 3 new friends were going to stop by around 8pm for dessert.
It was already 7pm and it had been a super-hot day in northern Minnesota so she wasn’t about to turn on the oven.
But… what to serve? Ack!
It was a panic moment, yet…
She quickly found a recipe for a no-bake cookie — and Hallelujah! she had all the ingredients!
In just a few minutes, she whipped up a cute and tasty treat, which she served straight from the freezer.
Everyone loved them, and they finished off the entire plate that evening!
That “perfect storm” turned into about a dozen delicious variations of nourishing no-bake treats that her family and friends adore!
Yet it didn’t stop there…
With encouragement from friends, she decided to test her no-bake bites at the farmer’s market. They were a hit! She sold out several weeks in a row.
Next to her family, the locals turned out to be the best group of testers ever. They loved that her bites were gluten-free and she was proud of the high-quality ingredients. Several people even ordered a dozen at a time!
Want to learn more about the method, ingredients, and options in Lindsey’s super-duper easy Nourishing No-Bake Treat system?
On today’s podcast, Lindsey and I dish up:
- the 80-degree-day-company’s-coming-for-dessert original story 🙂
- why she came to call her no-bake cookies “bites”
- how supportive and delighted her family was as she testing variation after variation of these delicious treats
- the simple 3-ingredient base formula that launches dozens of variations of these #bitesofgoodness
- how it’s possible to make these no-bake bites in just minutes with 1 appliance… and virtually no mess
- how ideally suited these treats are for folks with allergies or food sensitivities
- and we’re even going to show off some of them! (wish we could actually share… virtually will have to do)
- and more!

Loved the presentation!!! As I am computer illiterate, I am still having trouble ordering the book.
Kenny — How can I help with this? Or can Lindsey assist you? We hate to think that technology glitches prevent you from enjoying the whole thing.
I’m glad you enjoyed the presentation. We had a lot of fun. 🙂
Is there any way I can get your podcasts in transcript form?
Podcasts are great. For those who hear. There are some of us who can’t. Tricky. A transcript or summary would be fantastic!
Cheers.
