Out of the mantra \u201cthere must be something I can do\u201d and a<br \/>\npassion for fat-laden, fudgy brownies that made it hard to zip her<br \/>\njeans, an idea was born: healthy brownies for the masses. In a leap of<br \/>\nfaith borne on the wings of innocence and naivet\u00e9, she founded No<br \/>\nPudge! Foods, Inc., and began an epic journey of unexpected personal<br \/>\ngrowth and discovery. Frucci owned No Pudge! for ten years, and when<br \/>\nshe sold it, her Fat Free Fudge Brownie Mixes were sold in every major<br \/>\ngrocery chain in the United States. The fairy tale is an enviable,<br \/>\nbusiness success story. The reality is the story of a woman who was<br \/>\nraised hearing \u201cyou can\u2019t\u201d and found, to her surprise and great<br \/>\nsatisfaction, she could \u2013 and then some. <\/p>\n<p>\/Lindsay Frucci founded No Pudge! Foods in 1995 and served as Chief<br \/>\nCook and Bottle Washer for ten years. She, her husband and their<br \/>\npound-puppy Zoe, happily divide their time between Wolfeboro, New<br \/>\nHampshire and Brooklyn, New York.
