Hungry Squirrel was started by a mother’s love
Sandra DiCicco
As a successful restaurateur with over 30 years of experience, Sandra DiCicco-Bonar has been familiar with what it takes to positively impact people's lives.
Exposed to the joys of cooking with her mother and grandmother from an early age, unknowingly at the time, the foundation had been laid.
Sandra has always been interested in healthy, great tasting food, and following her son’s diagnosis of type-1 diabetes, fuel had been added to her fire. DiCicco then later was diagnosed with Type-2 diabetes herself.
While searching for products that were healthy for her and her family, the market failed her expectations.
Realizing how limited the choices were, Sandra became devoted to upgrading the everyday, common sauces, dressings, and dry mixes - leading to the launch of Hungry Squirrel.

With gluten removed from her diet, Sandra expanded the Hungry Squirrel concept into two NEW lines. The development of Hungry Squirrel's Keto Dry-Mixes for baked goods and Keto Hot Cereal To-Go cups had been forged.
Hungry Squirrel was invited to be an Elevate partner with KeHE Distribution - achieving national distribution & landed on more than 100 store shelves within 3 months.

Let customers speak for us
Got my order from you this week and tried the new BBQ sauce….You NAILED IT!!! This is the only BBQ sauce I will eat now.
From Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/CnXUouTrBiK/c/17987859325751601/
Love the essentials bundle. The ketchup was great consistency, even better than Primal or Heinz sugar free. My toddler loved it and didn’t notice the difference. Glad that I tried something new and supported a small business!
This is better than I hoped for. Usually keto foods like this can taste a little weird depending on the sweetener they use. This didn’t have any strange taste. It was just like a “ regular” sweet chili sauce. It’s not too Spicy either, just the right amount of heat. It’s excellent and I’ll buy it again.
Perfect low cal sauce for dipping, sauté or marinade!! Arrived quickly with free shipping!! Can’t wait to try the others!!
Great taste with a kick! I would highly recommend this product.
Sweet and Spicy sauce is my fav! Need to get more ASAP!
