The History of Black Friday:

Black Friday, the Friday after Thanksgiving in the United States, has long been considered the unofficial start of the holiday shopping season. However, its origins and evolution are truly fascinating.

Originally, the term "Black Friday" was coined by police in Philadelphia in the 1960s to describe the chaos caused by the crowds and traffic as people flooded the city for the Army-Navy football game and kicked off their Christmas shopping. The "black" referred not to sales figures, but to the hectic, sometimes dangerous nature of the day.

In the 1980s, retailers reclaimed the term, turning it into a positive event—it came to represent the point when stores would "go into the black," or become profitable for the year. The day became known for major discounts, where shoppers could take advantage of deals traditionally available only in the final weeks before Christmas.

Over the years, Black Friday has grown into a major shopping event not only in the U.S. but globally. With the rise of online shopping, it’s no longer limited to physical stores. Today, retailers offer "Black Friday" deals as early as November 1st, and the sales period has expanded into what’s now known as Black Week, starting a week before the actual day, with some deals even extending through Cyber Monday and beyond.

In recent years, Black Friday has also become a more inclusive experience, with discounts available across various industries—from home decor to electronics, fashion, and more. It’s no longer just about in-store deals; shoppers can enjoy discounts from the comfort of their homes, making it easier than ever to take advantage of the sales.

Shop online from 25 November to 2 December 2024 and avail big savings!
With easy online shopping and fast delivery options, getting exactly what you want has never been easier! We look forward to your visit!

Elmhurst 1925 - Clean Plant-based Oat & Nut Drinks

Oct 11, 2024

Elmhurst – Tradition, Quality, and Innovation Combined in Plant-Based Milk Alternatives

Elmhurst 1925 represents quality, sustainability, and a modern lifestyle. Originally founded as a traditional dairy in 1925, Elmhurst has evolved over the decades from a family business in New York to a pioneer in the field of plant-based milk alternatives. Today, Elmhurst offers a wide variety of innovative, purely plant-based products that delight the palate while also being good for the environment.

A Storied History and a New Chapter

Elmhurst's story began nearly 100 years ago when the brand was known for its cow's milk. But as times changed, Elmhurst recognized people’s desire for more sustainable and healthier alternatives. Thus, a traditional dairy became a leader in the plant-based revolution. Through the development of innovative manufacturing processes, like the HydroRelease™ process, Elmhurst manages to preserve the natural taste and nutrients from nuts, grains, and seeds in the best possible way. The result? A rich, creamy taste without unnecessary additives like oil or emulsifiers.

Elmhurst's Plant-Based Drink Products – Variety for Every Taste:

Whether it's for the perfect latte, a hearty breakfast, or simply to enjoy on its own – Elmhurst’s range has something for everyone:

Plant-Based Drink Varieties: From the classic oat drink, known for its creaminess and mild taste, to exotic varieties like almond or cashew drinks, which are rich in nutrients and offer an unparalleled taste experience.
Barista Edition: Specially developed for coffee lovers, Elmhurst’s barista lattes create a silky foam that perfectly complements any coffee speciality. Ideal for home or in the café.
Vegan Creamers: For those who like to enhance their coffee with a touch of sweetness or flavor, Elmhurst’s vegan creamers are perfect. Whether hazelnut, vanilla, or pure almond flavor – these plant-based cream alternatives bring out the best in your beverages.
Lattes: Elmhurst’s ready-made latte drinks are a great choice for a quick treat on the go. Just shake and enjoy – whether oat, almond, or cashew, every latte is rich in flavor and free from animal products.

Why Elmhurst Is So Popular for Vegan Milk Alternatives:

Elmhurst has succeeded in developing plant-based milk alternatives that not only taste excellent but are also sustainable and healthy. The HydroRelease™ process ensures that all nutrients and the full flavor of the ingredients are preserved. At the same time, emulsifiers, stabilizers, and other unnecessary additives are avoided. The result is beverages that promote health while being gentle on the environment.

Elmhurst is particularly popular among foodies and anyone who maintains a conscious or healthy lifestyle. The products fit perfectly into modern trend drinks like smoothies, lattes, or bowls, and offer a versatile base for creative recipes. Whether you’re looking for a milk alternative for your coffee, cereal, or as an ingredient for your baking creations – Elmhurst delivers the highest quality and delicious taste.

Order Now and Rediscover Plant-Based Enjoyment!

Elmhurst combines the best of tradition and innovation, offering you a selection of plant-based alternatives that perfectly fit into a modern lifestyle – from chilling on the sofa with an oat latte to a power smoothie after a workout. They are also great for cooking and baking. Order now and discover why Elmhurst is the first choice for coffee lovers, baristas, and anyone seeking a healthy lifestyle. Prepare your favorite drinks and dishes with Elmhurst – for a rich, purely plant-based taste experience!

Easter baking with the Ryans: an annual Family Tradition

Mar 21, 2024

Easter baking with the Ryans | American Heritage Blog

Spring Traditions at Easter

For our well-being and quality of life, we appreciate rituals. Examples of rituals can include our habits such as morning coffee, daily meditation, or celebrating certain holidays. Even wedding ceremonies and birthday parties consist of a series of customs. In an often uncertain and rapidly changing world, rituals and traditions offer stability and predictability, and with them, the anticipation of an event. They connect us as humans and create a sense of community and belonging. They can strengthen social bonds and promote a sense of unity within a group or community.

Especially during the holidays, we enjoy many customs that have developed over the years or even centuries. At Easter, Easter traditions are an opportunity to celebrate spring, symbolize the renewal of life, and share the joy and hope of this season with family and friends. These include, for example:

Egg colouring and Easter egg hunts: Coloring eggs is one of the most well-known Easter traditions. Children often search for hidden Easter eggs in the house or garden, which is a popular game.
Easter Bunny: The Easter bunny is a symbol of Easter, especially in many Western countries. Traditionally, he brings children Easter eggs and sweets by hiding them in gardens or homes.
Easter meals: Many families gather for a festive Easter meal, which often includes traditional dishes such as lamb, ham, fish, or other regional specialities.
Easter fires: In some regions, Easter fires are lit to welcome spring and symbolically dispel the darkness of winter.
Easter decorations: Decorating homes, churches, and public places with Easter decorations such as daffodils, bunny figures, and spring flowers are widespread.

Annual Easter Bread Tradition with the Ryan Family

For the Ryan's, Easter has been a time of family traditions and sweet treats for over 20 years. One of these traditions is baking Easter bunnies and other Easter figures in the form of delicious Easter bread. The anticipation of this is always particularly great among my children, and every year each of my three daughters shapes her own bunny from the airy yeast dough.

Even as adult children, they still enjoy the fun of baking and, of course, the shared meal. Over the years, many bunnies have been created - from cute Easter bunny faces to standing or sitting bunnies to bunnies with long ears. Sometimes we even bake sweet Easter eggs to complete the variety of our Easter creations. And the ingredients also vary over the years. Guitard's Chocolate Chips are still very popular for giving the bunnies faces and contours. Occasionally, the delicious chocolate chips are replaced by cranberries. Vanilla Extract or Vanilla Paste must never be missing as an ingredient.

Easter Baking with the Ryans: an Annual Family Tradition | American Heritage Blog — Easter Baking with Sabine Ryan: an Annual Family Tradition

The individual ingredients are adjusted according to desired dietary habits. So the butter can be replaced with margarine or avocado oil, and the bunny is then lactose-free or even vegan. Gluten-free flour can also be used instead of wheat flour or spelt flour. Vegan milk alternatives are increasingly being used as an alternative to cow's milk. And then there is the question of what to eat with it. Well, American Heritage has many great jams and fruit spreads that are essential on our breakfast table - Wild Maine Blueberry Jam...Cinnamon Apple Jelly and quite un-American sometimes Nutella or an alternative nut cream.

Discover our best-selling Jams and Nut Butters!

For us Ryans, baking our delicious Easter bread is not only a culinary tradition but also an opportunity to spend time together, create memories, and share the joy of Easter. It's a beautiful way to spend time as a family and celebrate the joys of spring. We would like to pass on this joy and therefore share our beloved family recipe:

Ingredients needed for Easter Bread

500 g wheat or spelt flour

42 g fresh yeast

1/4 l lukewarm milk or a plant-based substitute

50 g sugar

1 pinch of salt

75 g butter or margarine

1 egg or egg substitute

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

and milk for brushing and chocolate chips for decorating

We crumble the yeast packet into the flour and add some lukewarm milk. Then we mix everything and let the dough rest covered for 15 minutes. Then we sprinkle the sugar and salt on the edge and pour in the remaining milk and the melted butter as well as the beaten egg. From the whole, we knead a smooth dough, which we let rest for another 30 minutes.

Then we roll out the dough to a 1 cm thick dough and cut out bunnies, Easter eggs, or other shapes. We decorate the bunnies with chocolate chips or cranberries. Then we brush our yeast forms with milk and bake them at 200 °C until golden brown.

Our favourite products for this Easter Bread recipe:

Overall, Easter baking is not only a culinary tradition for my family and me, but also a time of shared experience and joy. Every year we look forward to spoiling our loved ones with our delicious Easter treats and creating new memories. I hope that you too can discover the joy of Easter baking and that these recipes bring you as much joy and enjoyment as they do us. Happy Easter and happy baking!

Enjoy,
your Sabine Ryan
