The commitment Rudi’s Bakery has made to Gluten-Free safety is exceptional. “It’s in the DNA of this company,” said Doug Radi. Their facility is shut down for a day for an extensive cleaning process. The facility and equipment used is segregated, covered and sterilized between bread making runs. Never do the gluten free products interact with wheat products. But there’s more. Their standard is no more than 10 parts per million. Every batch is tested during and after, internally and externally. Since the release of their first gluten-free breads in July, four to five hundred tests have been done and all have met this requirement. This is a company with integrity. You can feel safe eating both their gluten-free and organic breads. Keep in touch through www.Facebook/RudisBakery. Doug wants to hear from you! (To listen to more go to iTunes.)

RECIPE: Lightly butter one side of each ot two slices of Cinnamon Raisin bread. Spread PB & J on the one other side. Combine into a sandwich. Place on grill and cook until ends are lightly browned and crisp. This is a favorite of Doug’s three kids. Enjoy!

Alice Bast simplified how to easily feed kids gluten-free foods that taste good!  Serve naturally gluten-free foods: fruit, vegetables, meat, seafood, dairy, eggs, nuts/seeds, herbs …  just stay away from wheat, barley, rye.  Buy Gluten-Free products from brands such as Rudi’s Organic Bakery, Blue Diamond, Bell & Evans, Pamela’s, and the Grainless Baker.  For good list, go to www.centralceliac.org.  Alice also emphasized the importance of making sure what you serve is nutritious. 

ALICE’S RECIPE:  “Apple Paradise”:  Put sliced apples in a baking pan. Sprinkle a little brown sugar and butter on top.  Bake until apples are tender.  Serve with cheese.  Yum!  You could also make Sweet Potatoes Paradise by putting butter and rosemary on top and bake until tender.  (Sweet potatoes don’t  need sugar.) 

“Make it fun”, says Alice.  She is so right.  Have a good attitude about nutritious food and your kids will too.

It doesn’t take much soda to overdose on sugar in a day.  On average, four ounces will do it.  There about 6 teaspoons of sugar in an 8 oz. soda.   A half cup has about 3  teaspoons.  Kids should have about 2 teaspoons of sugar a day.  Adults don’t need much more. When was the last time you saw a small 8 ounce container of soda?  Kids, teens and adults drinks a lot more, a recipe for obesity, diabetes and depression.  Drink ice cold water or diluted 100% fruit juice instead.
