The holiday season is upon us, and we understand that parents are the real heroes behind the magic.

That's why we've partnered with Embeba and Voyager Milk to bring you stress-free, mess-free holiday tips and hacks.

Our founders have shared their wisdom, and we're here to show you how our three essential products—Happy Grub Squeezable Pancake Mix, Embeba Natural Skincare Products, and Voyager Milk Organic Toddler Milk—are the secret ingredients to a smooth-sailing holiday season.

 

Start Early:

The early bird catches the worm, and when it comes to holiday planning, starting early is key.

Start buying some gifts in October, and take advantage of the sales in November, so all the expenses don’t hit in one paycheck.

Buy whatever food you can freeze little by little, each shopping trip, so it’s not one big trip to the supermarket days before the big holidays.

Create your holiday crafts when the ideas strike. Rome wasn’t built in a day, and neither will your winter wonderland.

You’re getting the theme here, start early and spread out as much as you can!

 

Budget Wisely:

The holiday season can be financially draining, so setting a budget is crucial. But here's some budget-friendly hacks.  

Involve the kids in making homemade gifts. It not only saves money but adds a personal touch.

Wait until after the holidays and buy some decorations for next year at deep discounts.

Don’t be afraid to venture into your local thrift store. You just might be delighted to find the tree you thought about purchasing at the department store is an eighth of the price at the thrift store. And it might even still be in the box! One man’s, or woman’s trash, is another mans treasure.

 

Teamwork Makes the Dream Work:

In business and in life, this statement rains true.

Don't carry the holiday preparation load solo—get the whole family involved.

It's not just about lightening your load; it's about creating lasting memories together.

“I remember one year my mother did all the decorations on her own while we were at school to “get it out of the way” during a grueling time. When we told her “We always put our own ornaments up”, it broke her heart and she immediately realized - these traditions are important memories that should be done as a family” – Ashley Davies, Founder of Happy Grub

 

Choose Convenience:

Convenience is key. Don’t drive yourself crazy trying to do everything on your own.

Instead of making breakfast from scratch with all the other baking you have to do, choose Happy Grub, created by a mom to make mealtimes easier.

Instead of worrying if that rash is going to come back at the worst times, choose preventative care with EmBeba’s natural skincare products for Baby, Child, and Adults.

Instead of crying over spilled or spoiled milk, choose Voyager’s 100% organic whole milk developed by pediatricians and designed for on the go travel without refrigeration.

 

What have we learned?

This holiday season, let planning, convenience, and mirth be your guiding stars.

Start early, and spread-out tasks, purchases, and everything you can. Set a budget and get creative with every dollar and resource. Get the whole family involved and remember it’s easier together - plus you are creating memories that your loved ones will cherish and pass on. Choose products that make your life easier during the busiest time of the year, to help alleviate chores.

Here's to a stress-free, mess-free holiday season filled with warmth, love, and the joy of sharing moments with the ones you hold dear.

 

Happy holidays from Happy Grub, Embeba, and Voyager Milk!

October has arrived, and that means it's time to get into the Halloween spirit! Whether you're planning a festive breakfast, a delightful brunch, or a fun family snack, our Squeezable Instant Pancake Mix is here to make mealtime easier and more enjoyable than ever. With our mess-free, easy-to-use bottle and fine tip caps, you'll be flipping Halloween-themed pancakes and waffles in no time. Join us as we explore some spooktacular ideas to create a memorable meal for your family this fall season.

 

To start, let’s get into pancake art. Don’t be scared, you can always just pour our mix right into a themed silicone mold, or shaped waffle maker. But, if you want to really use our mix to its full benefit, take advantage of our fine tip caps by making pancake art.

 

There are two ways to make pancake art:

• Draw an outline and cook until golden brown, then fill the outline.
• Add food coloring to one or both bottles and draw the outline first with one color. Then fill with the other.

Whichever way you choose, wait until you see bubbles forming all over your pancake. Slide a spatula underneath and if it slides through without sticking, it’s ready to flip! If the spatula does stick, you just need a little bit longer for it to cook.

 

Now let’s get into the fun ideas we’ve curated for you this Fall season.  

 

Classic Jack-O'-Lanterns

Start with the basics and create classic Jack-O'-Lantern pancakes or waffles.

Simply draw the outline of a pumpkin on your griddle or pan. Let that cook to a golden brown on the bottom, then fill the shape.

If making waffles, use a pumpkin shape waffle maker.

Finally, use chocolate chips or blueberries for eyes and a mouth, and a strawberry slice for the nose.

 

Spiderwebs

Transform your breakfast into a spider's lair by drizzling a spiderweb pattern onto your pan. Fill in the gaps with a fruity sauce or fill with another flavor.  

 

Ghostly Ghouls

Shape your pancakes into friendly ghosts by squeezing out a large oval shape and adding a couple of chocolate chip eyes. For extra credit, draw out a B-O-O!

 

Pumpkin Spice

Add a taste of fall to your morning with pumpkin spice pancakes or waffles. Simply mix some pumpkin spice seasoning into your bottle and enjoy the warm, comforting flavors of the season. Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flair.

Or use our Apple Cinnamon flavor to simply squeeze out the best fall flavors and scents without needing to add anything extra!

 

Batty Bats

Get creative with your pancake or waffle shapes by squeezing out batter in the form of bats. A bat-shaped waffle is a fun and unexpected twist for your Halloween-themed breakfast.

 

With our Squeezable Instant Pancake Mix, you can turn mealtime into a memorable and mess-free family activity. These Halloween and fall-themed pancake and waffle ideas will not only delight your taste buds but also fill your home with festive spirit. Whether you're planning a spooky breakfast, a midday snack, or a late-night treat, our convenient bottle and fine tip cap make it easy to create edible art that will have everyone saying "Boo-tiful!" Enjoy the fall season to the fullest with a touch of creativity and a whole lot of deliciousness from your very own kitchen. Happy Halloween, and happy eating from Happy Grub!

Skipping breakfast has become a common practice for many families. But what if we told you there's a delightful solution that can transform your morning routine? Happy Grub Squeezable Instant Pancake Mix is here to make breakfast a breeze and put an end to the breakfast skipping blues. Continue reading

When it comes to breakfast, nothing beats a delicious and fluffy stack of pancakes. But let's face it, mixing pancake batter, loading it into a pancake mix dispenser, and cleaning all the utensils, can be a messy and time-consuming task. Especially if you want to include your little helpers! Fortunately, there's a solution: Happy Grub Squeezable Instant Pancake Mix.

Happy Grub Squeezable Instant Pancake Mix is a pre-mixed pancake batter that comes in a convenient squeeze bottle. Simply add water, shake, and squeeze the batter onto your griddle or frying pan, and you'll have perfectly shaped medallions every time - no more clumsy mixing or struggling with a pancake mix dispenser.

But why is our pancake squeeze bottle better than toying with a pancake mix dispenser? Here are a few reasons:

1. It saves time

Got a few minutes? Hot breakfast, served! Mixing pancake batter from scratch and loading it into a pancake mix dispenser can take a lot of time and effort, especially if you have hungry mouths on your hands. You can skip the mixing and loading and get straight to cooking. You'll have delicious pancakes on the table in no time for a busy morning, or a no-hassle weekend treat.

2. It's super convenient

With our easy, squeezable bottle, you can make pancakes quickly and easily without the mess and hassle of measuring, mixing, pouring, and delicately dispensing batter. The precision squeeze bottle makes it easy to control the amount of batter you use and to create perfectly shaped pancakes every time.

3. It's consistent

Mixing pancake batter by hand can be tricky, especially if you (or your little helpers) aren’t experienced. You might end up with lumpy batter or pancakes that need to be more evenly cooked. With Happy Grub Squeezable Instant Pancake Mix in hand, you’re ready to get cookin’. The pre-mixed batter is smooth and consistent, so your pancakes will be too.

4. It's versatile

Happy Grub Squeezable Pancake Mix is not just for pancakes. You can use it to make waffles, muffins, and other baking treats. The pancake mix consistency makes the batter perfect for creating a variety of delicious treats, whatever mood strikes!

5. It's delicious

Of course, taste is the most important factor in pancake mix and keeping kids happy! Happy Grub Squeezable Pancake Mix is designed to do just that - made with high-quality premium all natural and organic ingredients. Plus a delicious, fluffy texture that will make your pancakes irresistible. Don’t forget to add your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, yogurt, or other healthy and delicious treats!

BONUS: Fine stream caps

Our squeezable bottle and fine stream caps are what truly make our product mess-free. Mess-free because the fine stream makes it super easy to pour into a pan, waffle maker, hot plate, muffin tray, etc. This also makes our bottles perfect for pancake art. Anyone, of all ages and skill levels, can easily draw out letters, numbers, shapes and designs to create edible masterpieces. 

So, how do you make pancakes with Happy Grub Squeezable Instant Pancake Mix?

Easy question! Just follow these simple steps:

1. Heat your griddle or frying pan over medium heat.
2. Add water to the Happy Grub squeeze bottle and shake well.
3. Squeeze the batter onto your griddle or frying pan in your desired shape and size.
4. Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake and the spatula slides underneath the pancake without catching.
5. Flip the pancake and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until perfectly golden brown.
6. Serve hot with your favorite toppings!

The proof is in the pancake. Using Happy Grub Squeezable Instant Pancake Mix is incredibly easy.

No need for special equipment or gadgets that will get thrown into a yard sale in 5 years after collecting dust. No pro cooking skills needed. Anyone can make delicious pancakes with our pre-mixed batter, even your budding little chefs.
