My Nephews, Max and Devin
Diagnosed with Celiac Disease, in the late 80’s (in my late 20’s), I know the difficulties of sticking to a Gluten Free Diet. Back when I was diagnosed, there was no internet and it was extremely difficult to find a health food store or someone who understood what Gluten Free meant. When I did find food that I could eat, it was pretty much tasteless or dry. Over the past few years, gluten free options have increased in numbers…but not necessarily in taste. I have changed that!
Over time, I have adapted just about every recipe to fit the GF lifestyle. Two years ago I modified these recipes again to accommodate my nephew, who follows the Autism Diet. Each day, I am still amazed at the battle my sister is going through trying to keep her seven year old on this diet! He likes my food and breads and has responded incredibly to the diet. Many customers, adults and children, have no dietary restrictions at all, they just love the food!
Following these diets should not mean a lifetime of bland tasteless food or dry heavy bread that needs to be toasted in order to eat it. Bread can be soft just like you remember. My mission is to welcome our under-served population back to the table by bringing great tasting food, at reasonable prices, into the mainstream. When a recipe calls for Soy Sauce or Worcestershire Sauce, I make my own from scratch, because leaving items out is not an option for me. There is a way to make food taste the way we remember it and I have had many years of practice. I use all-natural or organic products whenever possible and go the extra mile to make sure that you get what you are craving.
I think everyone should be able to order directly from a menu when dining out and should not have to talk to multiple people in order to have their diet accommodated, nor should they have to worry about cross contamination of their meal. Additionally, having a quick frozen meal at home should be just as easy and tasty.
It has been a long process and I am very excited to be able to share my food with those struggling to stay on GF, GFCF or GFCFSF diets. All items are prepared and served in the same dish to greatly reduce the risk of cross contamination and are made in a GF Facility. Our containers are BPA free, oven safe and microwave safe. (Most items are egg free and corn free too!)
Last year, our entrees became available to certain restaurants and are served as a sit down meal. Now you can get our breads and entrees in frozen form, via health food stores or via direct purchase from us. We love to hear from our customers, for more information, please send us an email.
Welcome Back To The Table,
