April's Food and Flavor of the Month

It’s another month and another change in flavors for eegee’s drinks! One of my personal faves Peach n’ Berry is back! 

FLAVOR OF THE MONTH

This was brought back with much excitement from fans last year. One of the best moves eegee’s could have done last year was bring back this fan favorite. Remember when eegee’s used to do brackets for their flavors? Well Peach n’ Berry in its first year back made it to the final four, that’s how much people love the flavor. Needless to say, I get very excited anytime this flavor is back.

SANDWICH OF THE MONTH

The food item this month is a club sub. They seem to highlight it every year during one of the months but it’s never the sandwich I’d choose to eat. Apparently the sandwich is now a tropical sandwich. If you’ve seen the commercial lately the club sub is literally a sub and has a slightly offensive islander voice. I’m going to go ahead and stick with my delicious grinders with an extra side of Italian dressing, because that’s just what you do.

COOKIE OF THE MONTH

The cookie for the month is a chocolate cookie with white chocolate chips, another great cookie if you ask me. Try warming it up for a few seconds and you won’t be disappointed!

OTHER

One thing we keep forgetting to investigate is whether it’s actually true that they are selling both the eegee’s ranch and buffalo ranch in stores. Every year, except this year, eegee’s has pranked customers with a fake flavor for April Fool’s. So I already distrust eegee’s when they say this is real, because I deeply want it to be a real thing! We will investigate and bring back proof pictures instead of poorly photoshopped images of the ranch, which is the number one reason I don’t believe this to be true, it looks SO fake!

Speaking of April Fool’s, why didn’t eegee's have a fake flavor this year????? So disappointing, it was always so fun to look out to see what they would do, and somehow they always seemed to trick the masses. Instead they do household products with eegee’s scents...um ok April Fool’s, you didn’t get me. 😜

eegee's December Featured Items

It's time to get yourself updated on what is going on at eegee's in December!

FLAVOR OF THE MONTH

Cherry Cider is out and Holly Berry is in as we ring in the first of December today. This flavor is a delicious blend of berries and dumped into a cup. Go get one today. 

Is this your favorite flavor? If so send us a photo of you and your eegee’s on our Facebook page! 

LIMITED TIME OFFER

This month only get your hands on a delicious Sausage and Peppers Sandwich. The sausage is all the way from Chicago and is from the Fontanini's. You will want to pound this sausage. The peppers should be hot yet still crisp. You don’t want soggy peppers on this sandwich. 

Do you think you will be trying this sandwich this month? If so, take some photos or videos and post them to our Facebook Page! We want to share your food adventures in the eegee’s locations. 

COOKIE OF THE MONTH

Get your mouth around the sweet Winter White Chocolate Cookie. To simplify, it's a White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookie. Since it only makes its appearance once a year, stock up on these and enjoy all year long in 2016.  

There you have it. December is showcasing two fan favorites including the Holly Berry Flavor of the Month and the Winter White Chocolate Cookie of the Month. eegee’s is also featuring a brand new menu item for you to try to your heart's desire, the Chicago Style Sausage and Peppers Sandwich.

Get your hands on one, or all three and sound off in the comments or our Facebook Page. We will be watching.

Some other things to be on the look out for this month is the eegee's coin canister. Did you know that all the money in that can goes to the charity on the can? Well, it does. Drop your change in there and do good today. 

This month’s change is going to MIKID. If you don’t know about them, here’s a quick excerpt from their website:

“MIKID’s history stemmed from one individual’s overwhelming concern for the lack of services provided for children in the mental health field and the many serious issues that were not being properly addressed.  

Sue Gilbertson began her quest in 1984 when her son, Eric, was diagnosed with mental illness. In trying to get assistance for her son, Ms. Gilbertson found herself amidst a conventional medical community that was simply not equipped to handle the problems her son was facing. She was confronted with a community that was indifferent and uncooperative to her needs. 

Ms. Gilbertson later came to realize that her struggles were not isolated incidents. She met other families facing similar situations in requesting help for their children who had behavior health challenges.  

Sue took on the responsibility of uniting these families and worked together with them to build a better mental health system for their children. Through the efforts of Ms. Gilbertson, families were first brought together in a support group on March 11, 1987. This led to the formation of MIKID. 

MIKID is a non-profit, licensed Outpatient Clinic, Family-Run organization in the State of Arizona and contracts with all the Regional Behavioral Health Authorities (RBHAs) in the State as well as Gila River Indian Community and the AZ Community Rehabilitation Services Provider to provide behavioral health services to youth and families throughout AZ. MIKID currently has offices in Phoenix, Tucson, Yuma, Casa Grande, and Prescott Valley.  

MIKID provides support, education, and skills development to families and their children as well as youth and young adults who are experiencing mental health and behavior challenges throughout Arizona. This is accomplished through MIKID staff providing one-on-one family support, peer support, health promotion, support groups, training and education, both individual and community-based living skills, respite, and connecting families and individuals with natural supports in the community. MIKID’s approach is grounded in the focus of assisting families and youth to have a strong and respected voice in the services they receive, the systems that provide those services, and their community at large. These services are unique in that those staff providing many of these services are family members, parents, and young adults who have personal “lived experience” in dealing with behavioral health needs. MIKID requires all staff who provide services to the parents we serve to have “lived experience”.”

Finally, eegee’s kid's meals this month will feature a seeded paper Christmas ornament you will be able to plant with your children to grow wildflowers.
