Rude Awakening Granola launches online cooking show

Rude Awakening Granola has launched a new cooking and baking show.

Rude Awakening Granola is a local food producer and family run business in the Kawartha Lakes providing nutritious, small-batch and homemade food products. Their products can be found at the Bobcaygeon Farmers Market, Fenelon Falls Farmers Market, Minden Farmers Market and Peterborough Indoor Farmers Market.

Connie Powers, Rude Awakening Granola owner, was looking for ways of connecting with others in their home kitchen during COVID-19 and wanted to share more of her cooking and baking beyond granola and jellies. Working with locally sourced food, Powers aims to share recipes and tips that she has perfected in her own kitchen. Rude Awakening TV features Sunday roasts, home baked pies and unboxing of kitchen supplies in a newly renovated kitchen by Kawartha Kitchen Designs.

Powers can be found making homestyle dinners and desserts live on the streaming platform, Twitch every Sunday at 11 am. Viewers can find the live stream by searching “RudeAwakeningTV” on Twitch and can watch episodes later on Youtube at Rude Awakening Granola’s channel. 

“I have always loved to cook and nurture my family with nutritious food,” says Powers. “I take pride in creating foods that raised a family, feeds a grandson and keeps my community enjoying foods I produce. My grandmother taught me that the kitchen was where your family gathered and I want my kitchen to radiate the same warmth and welcome as her kitchen did.”

“I recently retired as a teacher and decided to enrol in culinary arts school and share what I love to do through social media. My daughters are both helping me and I love that the most. So, watch my Twitch, and share some food discussions with me. Keep hungry!”
