Swedish Royal Bakery

0 comments

Today I had a piece of my friend Karen's Gluten-Free birthday cake. HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAREN! I would love to give you a detailed description of how the cake was, but I downed it! I can tell you, this has to be the best Gluten-Free cake I have had.

 

Anyways, The Swedish Royal Bakery is not a dedicated Gluten-Free Bakery (the owner doesn't he claim it is). The cool thing is is he is willing to get things as clean as possible before making your cake. For all you "Gluten-Free Nazi's" this might not be the place for you!

I am ordering a Gluten-Free cake for my daughters birthday for the end of this month. I will take pictures and give a detailed description in my next posting.

 

Happy eating, learning and living!

Gluten Not Included...

2 comments

Hey Anti-Glutites in SAN DIEGO! We finally have a Gluten-Free bakery that's a dedicated Gluten-Free facility called "Gluten Not Included"! I learned of this today through an email from my friend Lorraine at work.

  

Well, for those of you who know me when I hear of something Gluten-Free I cant sit around long. The excitement was killing me to check out this new Gluten-Free Bakery. When I got there they had the following...

  • Plain White Bread

  • Cinnamon Raison Bread

  • Bread Sticks

  • Chocolate Chip Cookies

  • Cinnamon Rolls

  • Brownies

  • Croutons

  • Bread Crumbs

  • Pizza Crust

While there, I was given a sample of the Cinnamon Raison Bread. Okay, 2 samples! It was fabulous! It has a fluffy texture, not too much cinnamon and just the right amount of raisons. I purchased the Cinnamon Raison Bread, White Bread, Chocolate Chip Cookies, and Bread Sticks.

  

When I got back to work I made a peanut butter and jelly sandwich out of the Cinnamon Raison Bread and than had another 3 pieces of it while I shared with my Anti-Glutite co-workers. Oh, and ate the Chocolate Chip Cookies as well.

 

The Chocolate Chip cookies were wonderful. They were rich and gooey with huge chunks of chocolate. The cookies were so rich I could only eat half. Aaaaand then the other half about 5 minutes later! I was wishing a cup of milk would just appear in front of me. Ohhhhh... Cookies and milk! I will be back for more of those and some brownies too (which I didn't purchase this time).

  

I learned that Gluten Not Included is going to be selling sandwiches, salads and other things here in the near future. Please go to their website for details or even better, GO VISIT THEM IN ESCONDIDO!.

What is Celiac Disease?

Celiac disease is a disease of the small intestine. The small intestine is a 22 foot long tube that begins at the stomach and ends at the large intestine (colon). The first 1-1/2 feet of the small intestine (the part that is attached to the stomach) is called the duodenum, the middle part is called the jejunum, and the last part (the part that is attached to the colon) is called the ileum. Food empties from the stomach into the small intestine where it is digested and absorbed into the body. While food is being digested and absorbed, it is transported by the small intestine to the colon. What enters the colon is primarily undigested food. In celiac disease, there is an immunological (allergic) reaction within the inner lining of the small intestine to (gluten) that are present in wheat, rye, barley and, to a lesser extent, in oats. The immunological reaction causes inflammation that destroys the lining of the small intestine. This reduces the absorption of dietary nutrients and can lead to symptoms and signs of nutritional, vitamin, and mineral deficiencies.
