Yreka’s Tasty-Q for yummy holiday gifts
I stopped in at the Tasty-Q in Yreka’s Chamber of Commerce this weekend and was delighted by the colorful display of gift boxes put together by Wini and Terry. These gals have been wrapping like crazy – putting together towers of shimmering boxes filled with goodies like peanut brittle, peppermint bark, chocolate covered bananas, toffee peanuts, Miner’s Munch and peanut butter pretzels.
I brought home some Miner’s Mucnh, their mix of caramel corn, peanuts, almonds, chocolate drizzled caramel corn and other goodies. It went quickly in our house. We’re holding on to the peanut brittle for Thanksgiving Day.
Mom and I toured the store and browsed a great selection of locally and regionally made goods. There were sauces from the Klamath River Barbeque Company, Jefferson State Foods, regional olive oils, Terry’s Willow Creek Foods jalepeno jams, Biancia’s Spreads, and dipping sauces, including the one called “strawberry horsebite” that’s a strawberry horseradish sauce. Yum (I think – I’ve heard that it’s not too hot). Don’t miss Hot Lips Raspberry Chipotle Sauce – it is sooo good (I put it on bagels with cream cheese). A cute, old fashioned red shopping cart full of Miner’s Munch beckoned, and beyond that there were shelves of Camille Beckman body lotion.
Wini and Terry had also just finished their Miner’s Much Beer Bread: the big beer bottle is full of the baking mix and the directions are on the label. Wini said they had a heck of time getting the flour into the bottle, but you just pour it out and mix it up for a wonderful bread.
The Tasty-Q is also a great place to stop for lunch or a snack if you’re in downtown Yreka. It’s an old fashioned soda fountain with Bud’s Old Fashioned Ice Cream, banana splits and sundaes, as well as a lunch counter.
The Tasty-Q is on the corner of Broadway and Miner Streets in downtown Yreka. Stop by, or call 530.842.9729 to order a gift box.

Hi , it’s Thanksgiving Day! I’m happy with my extra day off, and I am planning to make something fun that’ll probably involve a moto trip and seeing something new in Stowe Township I haven’t seen yet.
