Bizzy Lizzy unique just received recognition of a disquished panel of ladies at the Greater Detroit Chapter of NAWBO. Bizzy Lizzy's owner Sheila Rae was named Innovator of the Year for 2009 for the unique gourmet flourless cookie that is popping up on store shelves all over Michigan.
Flourless is such a unique quality in a bakery product because the two things normally go hand in hand. Flour and bakery are known the world over as one thing.
So to take the concept of baking without flour is very innovative in deed.
Personally, what I think makes the product innovative is how delicious it tastes and still has health benefits. 4 grams of fiber and 7 grams of protein is just not heard of in cookies.
Take a moment to check out NAWBO Greater Detroit on the web and then head over to Bizzy Lizzy's Store front and buy some of these amazing cookies. Summer vacation, breakfast for the kids as you run out of the house or a wonderful treat for you and your family any time of the day.

Eat Cookies For Breakfast
Bizzy Lizzy Bakery’s New Years Resolution is to transform non-breakfast eaters into breakfast eaters with their Gourmet Premium Flourless Cookie. This cookie is great breakfast with 7 grams of protein and 3 grams of fiber. What makes it stand apart from anything else on the market is that you can pop it in the toaster and it contains no flour just whole grain oatmeal and flax seed.
Why no flour? First of all as a whole American’s eat way too much processed food from breakfast to supper. We depend so much on fast food and processed quick meals like toaster strudels and pop tarts. Flour is a cheap ingredient used in most bakery items to keep cost low. Some research proves that this flour has a great effect on blood sugars and others believe it may have as much to do with Diabetes as sugar itself.
However, Bizzy Lizzy Bakery has proven that it is not necessary to make a high quality premium product. This small bakery located in Southern Michigan developed their high end cookie using whole grain oatmeal and flax seed. Both are heart friendly ingredients that are great for breakfast and blend it with one of American’s favorite foods, peanut butter and you have a fabulous breakfast in a cookie. However, what puts it over the top is the fact that it can be popped in the toaster to warm it up.
Statistically people who eat breakfast are healthier than the rest of the population because the body rests over the night and needs to be recharged with food within an hour of getting out of bed. Some of us believe that if we eat breakfast we will be hungry the rest of the day so we just don’t eat. However, the fact is that if we eat enough protein with carbohydrates the body burns the carbohydrates first and then relies on the protein to maintain the full feeling until lunch.
Sheila Rae, the Bizzy Lizzy Cookie developer, worked with dieticians to help her find the right combination of ingredients to make the delicacies. Sheila Rae says, “I know a lot about nutrition and health from my many years as a life skills and culinary art instructor. However it was very important to me to have a team of individuals that have studied nutrition extensively on my team. We started by brainstorming items we would like to see in the cookie and then started combining them to see what we came up with. I have to admit I even tried tofu and Michigan Dried Beans in a couple of variations. I loved the beans and hated the tofu.” You will see Bizzy Lizzy lines of cookies grow with many varieties that contain vegetables and fruits grown right here in the state. I love to try new variations and see what people think. In the vegetable line pumpkin and beet get the highest marks. Michigan Apple tops the fruit variety.
Take the Bizzy Lizzy Challenge for 2009 and start eating breakfast that is filled with whole grain goodness like the Bizzy Lizzy Gourmet Flourless Cookie. The cookies can be found on store shelves in two varieties, Dark Chocolate Chip and Dark Chocolate with MI Cherry. You can also order the cookies on online at www.bizzylizzybakery.com or call the owners themselves at 517-610-1467.
