The Pig and Me: A Memoir - Paperback

by Lee T. Morrill (Illustrator), Christopher Loren Ewers (Photographer), Lindsay Frucci (Author)

When a personal bankruptcy robbed her family of financial security, Lindsay Frucci decided the way back to marital and family bliss was to start a business that would make gobs of money. Out of the mantra "there must be something I can do" and a passion for fat-laden, fudgy brownies that made it hard to zip her jeans, an idea was born: healthy brownies for the masses. In a leap of faith borne on the wings of innocence and naivet , she founded No Pudge Foods, Inc., and began an epic journey of unexpected personal growth and discovery. Frucci owned No Pudge for ten years, and when she sold it, her Fat Free Fudge Brownie Mixes were sold in every major grocery chain in the United States. The fairy tale is an enviable, business success story. The reality is the story of a woman who was raised hearing "you can't" and found, to her surprise and great satisfaction, she could - and then some.
