Minsan nag-iisip tayo ng kung anong idea para sa extra income na madaling kumita. Isang magandang ideya sa negosyo para sa dagdag na kita sa culinary realm ay ang magtatag ng pagkain. Sa pagtaas ng pangangailangan para sa maginhawa ngunit malusog na mga pagpipilian sa pagkain, ang pag-aalok ng mga pre-made na pagkain o mga serbisyo sa pagtutustos ng pagkain ay maaaring maging isang kapaki-pakinabang na pakikipagsapalaran. Sa pamamagitan ng paghahanda ng masustansya at masasarap na pagkain nang maramihan, makakatipid ng oras ang mga customer sa pagpaplano ng pagkain, pamimili ng grocery, at pagluluto habang tinatangkilik pa rin ang mga lutong bahay na pagkain.

• 1/4 tasang mini chocolate chips o pinatuyong prutas (tulad ng mga pasas, cranberry, o tinadtad na petsa o anumang abot-kayang presyo ng pinatuyong prutas tulad ng tinadtad na diced na mangga, tinadtad na diced na pinya, atbp)

• 1/4 cup ground flaxseed o chia seeds (o anumang abot-kayang presyo ng mga nuts kagaya ng peanuts, kasoy, or linga) (bihira ang flaxseed sa Pilipinas at minsan may kamahalan pa kaya ang pamalit ng flaxseed at chia seed ay linga .)

4. Kapag nahalo na ang dough, gamitin ang iyong mga kamay para igulong ito sa maliliit na bola, mga 1 pulgada ang diyametro.
