On Sunday we went to the Farmers Market in Hollywood then decided we’d drive down to Culver City and visit The Sensitive Baker, which is a Gluten-Free bakery. They have all sorts of goodies:  cupcakes, cookies, breads, bagels, pizza dough, hamburger buns & during the weekday hours, they even offer lunch which ranges from their daily soups, to pizza & sandwiches. They have a large variety of vegan foods as well. When we walked in the lady who was working there (I’m going to guess she was the owner) offered our son, Aiden, a cookie but asked us first, which I thought was really cool. Aiden ate all of it except for the last few bites which he dropped because he was too busy wanting a cupcake that was on display! We bought a cupcake to take home for Aiden & some hamburger buns for us to try out later that night. Ryan had made some home made avocado salsa & we thought the burgers topped with his salsa sounded like a good idea. Wow. Those buns were so good. They were very similar to sourdough bread. The only negative was that they were kind of small & we really wanted more! We also bought their pizza dough that we have yet to try… maybe later on this week. Pretty cool place. They are also online, if you want to check them out: The Sensitive Baker

I’ll leave you with a picture of Aiden about to enjoy his cupcake!

Afterglow Cosmetics is a mineral make-up company that offers organic, natural make-up & every product they make is gluten-free! Yay! My Mom (since she’s with the boys so much) and I just ordered some mascara, eye liner & some lipstick samples to try. I’m so excited & can’t wait to get my hands on these. I’ve heard rave reviews about them & I really like the comfort in knowing that I don’t have to look this product up on a list of their GF products because they’re ALL GF! I don’t wear very much make up but I DO enjoy a little blush, mascara & some lipstick if I’m going somewhere special. Here’s their information on WHY they’re all GF: Click here.

I’ll write a review as soon as the shipment comes in. Yay!

The lactivist always comes out in me when I see a news article about breastfeeding. CNN just reported that more than 3 out of 4 new Moms breastfeed! Not only is breast best but it’s incredibly important for babies with the potential of having Celiac or colitis or something of it’s relative. I breastfed Aiden  for 2.5 years (had I only known- I would’ve been GF then) & plan on nursing Milo for at least as long. I am GLUTEN-FREE to protect Milo in case he does have Celiac like his older brother(& because I enjoy being GF with my boys!- I don’t want to be left out ). There is a good chance Milo will have it. It’s very common for siblings, cousins, etc. to all have the Celiac disease or at least carry the gene. Here’s a link to the recent article on breastfeeding: Article

It has nothing to do with Celiac disease but thought it was worth mentioning!
