Just in time for the 'real' arrival of Spring this week
is the arrival at the market of the latest addition to
our growing list of vendors,
TWO SISTERS'
PANTRY
.  Actually, three sisters and a daughter,
these busy women began by turning some of their
State Fair award-winning recipes into a line of
mixes that includes bestsellers such as BLT Dip,
Sweet Creamy Coleslaw, Roasted Garlic Dip,
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread, Pecan Pie Bars.
Classic Bear Bread, Almost Spinach Dip, Garlic
Parm Beer Bread, Cheesy Bacon Potato Soup,
Garlic Herb & Chive Cheese Ball, Pepper Ranch
Dip, Groovy Garlic Dip, Strawberry Creme
Cheesecake, Caramel Apple Dip, Dutch Letter
Cheesecake and (pictured left) Bacon Chili Dip.  
And these are just a few among the over 250
different mixes the ladies have created.  

Two Sisters Pantry mixes are made from natural
ingredients
and have a shelf life of about six
months.  They aren't sold in retail stores and can
only be found at farmers' markets, craft shows and
special events.  The Ames Downtown Farmers'
Market is proud to have Two Sisters vending with
us.  We think you enjoy the simple, quick and
delicious food you create with these mixes.
