I can’t think of anything much better than to spend an evening in the studio with three fabulous women and cookies.  More specifically… Girl Scout cookies.  Yum.   On this show, we were able to hear all about the brand new and improved Girl Scout cookies that millions of Americans have been enjoying for as long as we can remember.  What’s exciting is, they’ve gotten healthier and there are now new options available for those with special dietary needs – vegan and gluten-free.  Taylor shared her selling strategies that will help her reach her personal best cookie sales this year; Danita talked about the value “cookie selling” has for the girls and all of the skills it teaches them and shared specific info on the healthier new cookie lineup; and, Amy educated us on who will really be loving these gluten-free cookies.  Listen in and find out how you can get your own cookies (yep, there’s even an app to let you know where to find them) or how to donate boxes to members of the military, firefighters, EMS personnel, police women and men, teachers and other special people in your community.

Guests:

Taylor Williams, a 16 year-old junior from Howard County, MD who is a real cookie-selling veteran

Danita Terry, the Director of Communications & Media Relations for Girl Scouts of Central Maryland

Amy Lettman, MS, RD, LDN, CDE with the Diabetes Center of The Maryland Metabolic Institute at Saint Agnes Hospital
