Recipe Development

We are happy to report  that we are now working in our commercial kitchen again! Our crew  is back to cooking up an array of healthy and delicious recipes, but now we are doing this with  extra safety measures to prevent the spread of the Coronavirus. Our rules require: frequent hand washing, no more than 8 crew members in the kitchen at a time and that everyone wears a face mask. That is not the only...

Nacho cheese is a known food topping, whether drizzled on top of a yummy plate of nachos or used for dipping a pretzel, it’s a favorite for many of us.

We set out to develop a recipe that is packed with nutrition and found that we could sub flour and...

Lasagna is a dish the Rebel crew all agrees is a delicious staple at the dinner table. Coming from various backgrounds, we found common ground in growing up eating lasagna in some form.
