The aroma in the bakery is heavenly...

Little did I know that when I set about creating the foods for what has now been dubbed our "Keto Kollection," I'd be immersed in the heavenly aromas of caramelized sugar, but without sugar! And my latest creation is our Gluten-free, Grain-free, Lo-Carb Choco Chip Chookie!

I wish you could smell the above photo, but you can do the next best thing: come by Random Acts of Breadness today and see/smell for yourself! Better yet, place your order here and then come by the bakery, because they might all be gone unless you reserve yours now.

Between the organic skinless almond flour from Yemetz Family Orchards and the non-GMO white and brown sugar replacements from Wholesome Yum called "besti," I'm having a blast playing with culinary chemistry in our micro-kitchen! 

My next research project is Sugar-free Organic Almond Toffee (like brittle but not so brittle...) made with Yemetz Family Orchards organic skinless almonds, besti, butter and salt. I wonder what the aroma from that recipe is going to be like...


In the wake of Helene...

It's not often that we feature sad news in this publication, but one cannot ignore what has happened in the southeast region of our country with the massive storms unleashed upon that region. We have many friends and family living in the affected areas.

Fortunately, people from all over have taken the initiative in creating Facebook groups like this one for Clearwater, Florida, to help connect those who want to help with those in need.

I personally experienced hurricane Eloise in 1975 in Ft. Walton Beach, Florida. It was quite frightening and the visible damage, like big, metal signs twisted to the ground by the winds, was unbelievable. But we survived to recover and tell the story. Perhaps the only good to come from Helene will be the stories of rescue, recovery and rebuilding.

Our prayers go out to all who have suffered from this freak of nature. May you find the strength to persevere...
