Marigold Turns 21!!

Its hard to believe its the first day of September already... its hard to believe we are turning 21 in just a few short weeks!! Marigold cannot be more delighted to be celebrating this fun event with the people who made it possible -- you!!

Share your story with us! What is your favorite Marigold Memory or favorite Marigold item you still have in your closet?

Check out our events page to see all the fun things we have planned. Marigold will be donating 10% of sales on Wednesday, August 15th to one of our favorite local not-for-profits, Second Helpings. We are collecting pasta and rice for a chance to win fun prizes -- help us reach our goal of 1,000 lbs!

And of course, Marigold will serve birthday cake and bubbly (after all, we are LEGAL now!) -- Just our way of saying THANK YOU!!!

Holiday goodies!

Happy Holidays to all! Now that we are all filled up with turkey and dressing it is time to think of the next change in season. Let us know your favorite holiday GOODIE to make. Share your favorite recipe with all the other "Marigals" on our blog. My favorite is a recipe that Susie uses to make "Kahlua Brownies". Follow these simple instructions for a delicious dessert!

1 pkg Brownie Mix, 13x9 inch pan size
1/2 cup Kahlua
1/2 cup Oil
2 Eggs

Icing: 1/2 cup Butter, softened
2 cups Powdered Sugar
1 tsp Instant Coffee and 2 tbsp Kahlua, warmed together
1/2 tsp Vanilla

Mix together brownie ingredients and bake in greased pan for 30 minutes at 300 degrees. Cool. Mix together icing ingredients and spread over top of cooled brownies. Melt together remaining ingredients and drizzle over top of icing.
