Gourmet Firehouse Salsa
I was a career Firefighter and Paramedic for 30 years in Avon Lake. I retired as a Captain in 2015. During those 30 years, I spent a lot of time in the kitchen preparing meals for the crew. In the Firehouse kitchen, we always had a hot sauce or salsa on the table for many of the meals we cooked. A fellow Captain had brought in a bushel of habaneros one day and asked me to come up with a salsa recipe that the crew might like. I knew that they all liked a mustard based mango salsa they purchased online from the Caribbean. That became my starting point. I tried many combinations using Mangos and fruit blends. Finally, a fruit based mango habanero salsa emerged. After retirement, friends and family were still requesting the Mango Salsa. With a little encouragement, (and a lot of work !) I started producing the salsa in a commercial kitchen in Cleveland. Currently I have 3 flavors, Mango, Pineapple and Mandarin Orange. Each come in a mild, medium or hot. A new Peach salsa coming soon ! Visit my website at www.GourmetFirehouseSalsa.com and click on the recipe link. You will find many recipes using my line of Gourmet Salsas. It's more than just chips and dip ! |

Gray House Pies
At Gray House Pies we are working to resurrect the simple pleasure of a homemade pie. Nothing real fancy but yet something scrumptious. Something felt deep inside. Something that satisfies our very soul. Of course, when it comes to satisfying the soul, there’s no cutting corners. That’s why all of our pies are made “from scratch” with the purest of ingredients. And, that’s why, for example, we make our own butter crusts. And that’s why we only use organic milk and local free-range eggs in our cream pies and local free-range meats in our pot pies. Equally important is what we DON’T put in our pies. Our pies contain No preservatives, No fillers and No canned fruit. And you won’t be eating hydrogenated vegetable shortening when you eat our pies – we use nothing but 100% fresh sweet butter. So, what’s in your pie? |

One Lucky Dog Bakery
I started making dog treats over 20 years ago in my kitchen for my 3 rescues, Jake, Mozey and Lucy. After hearing about a massive dog food recall on the radio, I started to actively be, a label reader, and I didn’t like what I was seeing in most dog food and treats. I liked to bake and it was natural for me to bake the treats for my dogs and they loved them. The recipe has changed from the original recipe and I try to add health benefits into all my treats when developing new flavors. The store, was a natural progression from selling them out of my home and website. We recently celebrated our 11th anniversary at our newly expanded brick and mortar store, which is on the square in beautiful downtown Medina. |

The Blonde Italian
I’m a mom of Italian descent, resident of Cleveland and I’ve created a brand, The Blonde Italian. Since I started with a website, I wanted a name that would be easy to remember and spell. I looked in the mirror and presto! I love cooking for family using fresh ingredients in our meals and thought it would be nice to have those ingredients on hand in a shelf stable form, ready to use at all times without the work of sourcing, prepping & chopping. So, I created a full line of sauces with that concept in mind. Fresh, quality ingredients in every jar. I design all labels, print-work, signage and do all my own food writing as well. I have created this business by myself, from ‘scratch’ -pun intended. I love saying that because it’s really true! |

Tres Chic Macarons
Tres Chic Macarons and Sweets started off as a simple passion and a stubborn personality to not let these little confections beat me. Macarons are seemingly very temperamental and stubborn, which drew me in more. I knew I wanted to master them and along the way grew even more passionate about them. Their inner workings, the science, the right temperature, and how the stars had to be aligned just right. While learning new tricks through the past couple years I noticed that other bakers dared to not play around with shell flavorings. But why? Well, again, the conditions have to be just so in order to produce these little goodies. There was no way I was going to follow the rules on this one. I wanted to think outside of the box and add more flavor. This is when I started creating macarons that were a little more out of the box. Flavoring the shells to go along with the fillings… OH MY GOODNESS! Mind’s were blown. I thought that I needed to share my love and customized goodies to the world. Friends and family all tried and loved, so why not share with others? Tres Chic got our first large order in November of 2018 and of course learned some lessons through the trial and error of that. Everything came out so adorable and I was very excited to be a part of an exciting day. As months go by Tres Chic is always trying to come up with new and unique flavors, along with custom orders. I have now been able to create monthly assortment macaron boxes, cakes, cookies, and other various treats. Tres Chic Macarons and Sweets can not wait to see what the future holds and how many lives we will be able to give the gift of sweetness to! |
