Ginny Bakes
Sometimes our sugar cravings hit during the wee hours of the night. Okay, maybe that happens more often than not. Forgo grabbing the Pillsbury dough in exchange for Ginny Bakes locally made mixes. The organic cookies, brownies, muffins, and biscotti are made with better-for-you ingredients like flax seed meal, cane sugar, gluten-free flour, and oats. The best part? You can buy the packages at places like Lester’s, Fresh Market, and Epicure and just pop them in the oven whenever you need a fix.

Yonanas
Created by a local entrepreneur, this nifty invention makes soft serve ice cream out of bananas. The texture is exactly what you would expect and the taste is pretty amazing — and, surprisingly, not too banana-y. You can throw in other fruits to mix it up or top your sundae with dark chocolate for a little extra kick. But seriously, all you need is bananas.
