Gluten free podcast

*cue music 30 seconds K: Hello, everybody and welcome to the first episode of Kirsten’s conversations im Kirsten and today we have a special guest 

N: I everyone im the special guest and my name is Noah Tyler 

 K: Today’s podcast is going to be on Gluten free food. We are going to go over how a gluten free person (me) and a non gluten free person (N says me) views food. We will also be discussing gluten free recipes. 

 K: I find gluten free food disgusting But I need to eat it to survive. However I have found some very good gluten free recipes. My favorite being my moms cheeseburger chowder. *cue sound effect* The recipe being Ingredients: 1 lb. ground beef browned and drained 2 russet potatoes diced 2 carrots, peeled and diced 3 celery stalks peeled and diced 1 white onion diced 1/2 tsp. salt 1/4 tsp. pepper 2 tsp dried basil 1/2 tsp. garlic powder 3 cups chicken broth 1 lb. Velveeta cheese (add towards the end of the cooking time) 8 oz. cream cheese (add towards the end of the cooking time) Add the cooked beef, potatoes, carrots, celery, onion, salt, pepper, basil, garlic powder and chicken broth. DO NOT add Velveeta cheese and cream cheese yet. Cover and cook and LOW for 7 hours without opening the lid during the cooking time. Cut the Velveta cheese and cream cheese into cubes, add to the soup in the slow cooker. Stir to get the cubes into the soup (they won’t melt straight away). Cover and cook for one more hour on low. Stir until the cheeses are blended into the soup. Serve and enjoy!

 N: that sounds delicious 

 K: I also have survival tips for being gluten free on a college campus, that is to try new things. Before eating on campus I never was a fan of red meat but now I love chicken. My favorite gluten free friendly eateries on campus are the Ely Harvest gluten free melts, The marketplace’s breakfast bagels ( of course with a gluten free bagel) and the naturally gluten free rice bowls. What are your favorite eateries on campus? 

 N: The marketplaces breakfast sandwiches are really good! Another great gluten free recipe we like to make is our Buffalo chicken dip!

 K: yes! I love the Buffalo chicken dip, all you need is cream cheese. We used the whole thing, half a bag of shredded cheese. We also bought a rotisserie chicken, pulled it apart and a few droppings of Frank’s red hot sauce, I believe we put a little ranch in there too. N:(yeah we did). The recipe was trial by error but it was the best dip I’ve ever had.

 N: It was great! 

 K: Thank you guys for tuning into Kirsten’s conversations next week we will be talking about my top favorite movies and why! 

 N&K: goodbye!

Social Media Success Story

  

                                                        Fancy Like Applebee's?

Social media is one of the most instrumental tools of marketing in today’s economy. Companies now have the advantage of their product promotion spreading across source to source and creating a viral conversation. Companies also have the advantage of placing their products online as well. Creating a duality between online and in store shopping. 

There are types of crucial marketing strategies companies utilize to get their productivity well received.

Examples of six websites that are commonly known are Facebook ,Instagram ,snapchat ,Twitter, Link in, and Pinterest. This has also created more job opportunities for inspiring campaign managers. A social media campaign manager is someone who fulfills the role of customer feedback on social media, creating web addresses and even finding sources to collaborate with which will most often than not be social media influencers to make a brand deal with.

The fans buy these brand deal products because their favorite influencers promoted it. However the consumer then becomes a regular to the company and they start to promote and share the product to their friends and family on their own social media sources. Friends and family will trust what they are promoting further more because they can get a truthful opinion out of the consumer which then creates a viral chain effect. 

The Song "fancy like" by Walker Hayes first created a social media frenzy and the app Tik Tok. Many creators were making the song into a dance challenge at first. Creating the song to go viral.

                                                          ( source : https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=E08puACaHf )

The song mentions a  "Yeah, we fancy like Applebee's on a date night Got that Bourbon Street steak with the Oreo shake Get some whipped cream on the top too Two straws, one check, girl, I got you". This then sparked another Tik Tok frenzy, where creators started to show off their Applebee's date nights.                                                 (source: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMRC3whct/)

Applebee's saw this as a marketing opportunity and made a meal and deal. out of it. New at Applebee's you can order the Bourbon Street Steak and Oreo shake (on the side of course) for $2.99. Why is this a deal? Well Applebee's had discontinued their classic Oreo milkshake for quite sometime. When the song made buzz  the beloved shake swarmed back the the Applebee's hive for limited time. This created nostalgia for costumers.

 To get the attention of customers of each age range Applebee’s had decided to market their date night campaign to spread across each platform including a commercial that can play on both social media and television.

To get the attention of customers of each age range Applebeehad decided to market their date night campaign to spread across each platform including a commercial that can play on both social media and television as well as air time on the radio. This made the brand deal between Walker Haye's and Applebee's a whole lot sweeter.
