FEATURED VENDOR: Lisa Lindsey Munoz

Lisa Lindsey Munoz is crazy about dogs. She creates dog biscuits made without preservatives with all natural ingredients and sells them exclusively at Olney Farmers and Artists Market. Her oatmeal and peanut butter and veggie biscuits (made with organic carrots and celery) sell out weekly. This week, she's introducing a new flavor, made with organic applesauce and fresh bananas.

Lisa taste tests each of her recipes on neighborhood dogs and the new "fruit" dog biscuit has already received rave reviews! You can find Lisa and her mom selling side-by-side; her mother sells "people food" -- dessert breads, brownies and cookies -- while Lisa sells her yummies for dogs.

Come see Lisa and her mom at the Life Delicious/Happy Dog booth at Olney Farmers and Artists Market this Sunday!

CELEBRITY CHEF DEMONSTRATION:   Jon Ashton,  Recipes for Life
In 1994 Jon graduated from St. Helens College in Great Britain and worked in several noted restaurants including the Derby Lodge Hotel's French restaurant and as Sous Chef at The Kirkfield Hotel's restaurant. Jon's success and flair in the kitchen soon gave way to appearances on British cooking shows including the nationally syndicated "TV Dinners" where audiences fell in love with his wit, charisma and genuine love of food. Soon, America discovered him and Jon was featured in publications from New York to California. America was calling and Jon knew he had to answer.

So, with $2,000 in his pocket he left everything he knew and traveled to America, eventually landing in Florida. Jon quickly began producing and starring in his own local access TV show, which aired in Disney's town of Celebration. Soon after, Jon took a position as the regular mid-day chef at Orlando's FOX affiliate station and found himself appearing on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" a short year later. His telegenic persona earns regular appearances on the “TODAY Show".

He is currently the food correspondent of the nationally syndicated Morning Show “The Daily Buzz”, seen in over 160 stations. He is also the in-house Chef for Relish Magazine, with a readership of 67 million. Jon can be seen on ABC, NBC, CBS and FOX affiliates across the nation as he travels doing media tours and presentations. Jon has had the honor of working with many A-list celebrities and culinary icons including, Vince Vaughn, Seth Green, Andy Garcia, Rachael Ray, Paula Deen, Emeril Lagasse, Martha Stewart and Giada De Laurentis, to name a handful.
