Former culinary arts student's cookie business featured in "Beer and Cookies"
In the Feb. 10 issue of The Santa Fe Reporter, Marti Mills’ cookie business XOnuevo was featured in the story, “Beer and cookies.” She studied Culinary Arts at SFCC.
Here’s an interesting morsel from this cookie story, “Mills would go on to complete culinary training at the Santa Fe Community College at the age of 13—something that required special permission from the school’s dean. Additionally, she says, she’s committed to sourcing ingredients locally.”
“My absolute favorite at the moment is the lavender shortbread,” she says. “The lavender is grown organically by my friend in Santa Fe.”
She shared with Campus Weekly: “I am 37 and I have been baking since I was five. I started the cookie business during the pandemic but I have been making and selling food and art for decades — cookies really seemed to cheer everyone up during these hard times.”

Each semester, Staff Senate holds a Staff Appreciation Event. With the anniversary of the pandemic upon us, Staff Senate voted to open our spring event for all SFCC employees. Staff Senate is sponsoring a college-wide Kindness Exchange (books, seeds, ornaments) for all staff, faculty and adjunct faculty.
This event is non-denominational and is open to all. We miss being with one another, and what better way to reconnect than to do something kind for someone else.
For those of us with artistic gifts, please craft a decoration that can hang in a window, an ornament, charm, amulet, blessing, decoration or some other expression of care and appreciation. Please, no food.
For those of us who are not able to make something, please contribute an ornament, charm, amulet, blessing, decoration or other thoughtful item. Perhaps you have seeds to share, or some other item you are ready to gift-away. If you purchase something, limit the dollar value of the gift to $5 or less.
And for those of us who wish to participate, but don’t feel comfortable exchanging physical items, we will have a Microsoft Teams/Zoom Background exchange.
Let’s tangibly share care and good cheer with each other as we mark the anniversary of the pandemic.
How do I sign up?
You don’t have to! Starting today, make, find or buy your memento. You don’t have to limit yourself to just one! Your gift needs to be small enough to fit inside a quart-sized zip lock bag.
Write your name and email address on a zip lock plastic bag (permanent ink, please!) and place your wrapped memento inside.
Please, no joke gifts.
Drive through the SFCC West Wing entrance on Monday, March 8 to drop off your gift. There will be a designated box, labeled for the gift exchange, where you can deposit your gift. The box will be out from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. Please be sure to wear a mask when you come by.
Staff Senate Officers will empty the drop while wearing gloves and masks. The President’s Conference Room will be used for quarantine. Items will be quarantined and spaced for three days prior to distribution.
