New Grains Gluten Free Bakery

 For those of you who have given a try to Gluten Free bread only to find that it is either tastes like grass, or is very dry or is totally tasteless... go here. It might change your life.
I have felt every one of the above things, and I cannot seem to make a good loaf of my own bread to save my life (which, honestly, it might). So I talked to a good friend of mine who has recently discovered that she has Celiac Disease and she pointed me to Macey's Grocery where they sell this bakery's products.

There are so many options! They have rolls, hamburger buns, english muffins, special order cakes, sliced bread, cinnamon raisin bread, a good assortments of cookies and bars for individual sale and in packs... and so much more.

They even have an egg-free version of this always gluten, dairy and soy free sliced bread. Happy dance for me!! The downside is for me and other food fighters like me is that some of their other products do have soy, eggs and all of them have some sugar. Still- look through their products and their information, and you'll likely find something you'll love without pain. I did and I love this bakery!

I have tried some of these products, but mostly I have had the sliced bread. The sourdough is delicious and so is the multigrain, but I buy the egg-free at least once a week. The bread is dense and moist, so I generally toast it for the max time on my cheap toaster- and I can honestly say that even then it still sticks to my teeth, but OH MAN. This bread tastes so good!

Also, just look under the New Grains Foundation tab on their site. They are working with other places to start a Gluten Free Culinary Institute training facility. I think with their ability to cater to this and other food sensitivities, I wonder if they'd let me in for night classes or something, because it is a GREAT idea.

I am officially a huge fan of New Grains Gluten Free Bakery, and I have found so many things to love there, and their pre-sliced bread makes my day, sometimes.
