Beyond the Box with Dr. Pete's Baking Mixes

October 09, 2020

At A Taste of Olive, we believe that eating healthy should be simple and convenient. That’s why we love Dr. Pete’s Baking Mixes! Each hand-packed mix contains a handful of ingredients and just 15 minutes of prep. Time won’t be the main ingredient when you bake with one of Dr. Pete’s Baking Mixes.

Whether you curl up with a good book, or cozy under a blanket, make any day a celebration with these no-fuss mixes. Try a Lemon Blueberry or Orange Cranberry Scone for breakfast. Or, start a family meal with a Rustic French Boule or Italian Herb Focaccia Bread, and for dessert, Olive Oil Cake Mix. These baking mixes are just what the doctor ordered!

 

A Delicious Prescription

When Dr. T. A. Peterson, or "Dr. Pete," wasn’t dishing out advice during house calls in the quiet town of Ailey, Georgia, he’d be in the kitchen whipping up doses of phenomenal foods for family and friends. 

His family felt that more people needed to sample his signature sauces and marinades.So, in  1985, his daughter and son-in-law began to bottle and sell his products. For the next three and a half decades, they continued to add small-batch, hand-crafted products to their line-up. And today, these new, delightful mixes are available at A Taste of Olive stores for $9.95. We can’t wait for your family to enjoy them!

 

• Lemon Blueberry Scone Mix: Scones, like the foxtrot, may look easy to do but each step must be perfect. This mix requires just three steps - add one cup cream, cut into triangles, and bake for 15 minutes. These lemon drops of sunshine are delightful on their own or topped with our Lemon Curd, Blueberry Chardonnay Balsamic Glaze, or Funny Farm Apiaries' Blueberry Infused Raw Honey.

• Orange Cranberry Scone Mix: The aroma of orange and cranberry will tempt even the heaviest sleepers out of bed. Make their mornings by spreading these mouthwatering scones with Cranberry Orange Liqueur Chutney, Benjamin Gregory Scented Port Wine Cranberry Walnut Conserve, or Gracious Gourmet’s Cranberry Raspberry Blood Orange Spread.

• Olive Oil Cake Mix: Say bye-bye to boxed mixes after one bite of this fluffy, moist cake. Slice and serve drizzled with Blood Orange Extra Virgin Olive Oil, fresh blueberries and Blueberry Chardonnay Balsamic Glaze, or serve with Strawberry Zinfandel Balsamic Glaze over sliced strawberries. At A Taste of Olive, choose from among 30 plus olive oils. The flavor combinations are endless!

• Rustic French Boule: There are times when you build a meal around an ingredient, and this old-world bread is one of those ingredients. From morning toast with goat cheese and Gracious Gourmet Smoky Ginger Peach Spread to a towering turkey sandwich with Port Wine Cherry Mustard, or dipped in our classic bread dip, this Paul Hollywood-worthy, award-winning bread will be the showstopper of any meal.

• Italian Herb Focaccia Bread: In just over an hour and two ingredients -- water and olive oil (try the Garlic Extra Virgin Olive Oil or Herbes de Provence Extra Virgin Olive Oil) -- your focaccia skillet is ready to please! Top this with anything, like sundried tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, fresh herbs, bacon, etc. or add a fused-flavor olive oil, tapenade, or a savory spread! Serve your focaccia as an antipasto, table bread, or sandwich bread.

 

 

Anyway you slice it, Dr. Pete’s Baking Mixes can’t be beat!
