Aunt April’s Gluten Free Bakery

Aunt April's Gluten Free BakeryBack in April, I celebrated my birthday at the Wild Cow in East Nashville and had my first great birthday cake since being diagnosed with Celiac’s and having to go gluten free. Come to find out, it’s from a local bakery called Aunt April’s Gluten Free Bakery. I recently had the privilege of trying her gluten free cookies, bread, brownies and some muffins. All I have to say is YUM! The bread was the same bread used in a great sandwich I had at the Wild Cow which I used to make some sandwiches, cheesy garlic bread and well, it was so good I ate it by itself. It wasn’t spongy like most gluten free breads and didn’t fall apart like others. The cookies were nice and crunchy, the brownies moist. If you have an event or just looking for gluten free stuff around Nashville I highly recommend Aunt April’s Gluten Free Bakery’s products which can be found at the Wild Cow, Matteo’s Pizza, The Green Wagon East Nashville.

Gluten free banana waffles

So I’ve had them in the freezer for months. My wife wanted to reclaim the freezer space since I wasn’t eating them. Whenever I go grocery shopping if I see something new and gluten free, I buy it, if I like it or not. I was never a huge fan of waffles before being gluten free but I had to buy them. 2 months later… I wish I tried them earlier. Gluten free banana waffles from Trader Joe’s ROCK!

Lazzaroli Pasta

A couple of friends have emailed me in the past week about Lazzaroli Pasta in Germantown. They have a Spelt Pasta that is made without semolina and subsitutes Light Spelt Flour. Check them out at 1314 5th Avenue North * Historic Germantown * Nashville and let me know what you think!

Gluten Free Beer

Where has it gone? New Grist was my favorite and you could find it at Whole Foods and Frugal McDoogal’s, now you can’t find it anywhere. I saw it a month ago at Whole Foods and they raised the price to almost $10/ 6 pack. They have RedBridge now, which is OK I guess but definitely not worth $8. Anybody know where New Grist gluten free beer has gone in Middle Tennessee?
