For many years, Jews across the nation having been missing out on delicious cinabuns, biscuits, crescents and chocolate chip cookies by Pillsbury for their lack of a Hechsher.
Please help gather enough supporters to help get Pillsbury to want kosher authorization.
General Mills/Betty Crocker track the number of callers and topics (IE Kosher, lactose, nuts) to see if production would be worthwhile for a specific population… so lets start the calls!
1-800-248-7310 (between 7:30 a.m. - 5:30 p.m. CT, weekdays)
MAKE THE CALL…. PASS IT ON….

My goal is to help people say no to industrially manufactured baked goods and get into their kitchens to bake truly wonderful kosher breads and desserts from high quality ingredients themselves. I won’t endorse this, but getting another giant conglomerate to put a hechsher on highly processed food may feel like a victory for some of us, so I’m going to leave it up.

I googled parve bread pudding to make for our communal Shabbat dinner and look who I found! What a great site. Kol ha’kavod to you. Who knew!

Stacy, this is one of the first recipes I posted and it’s one of my favorites. I just made two last week from challah left over from a communal Shabbat lunch with fresh local blackberries, blueberries, and raspberries - one for a staff retreat and the other for seudah sh’lishit. Everyone’s always surprised that it’s parve. I hope to get out your way for a few days in July - warm regards to the kehillah.
