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!

Yesterday UPS dropped off a package of some GF mixes, courtesy of Bob’s Red Mill! Thank you! Cool surprise! Of course, I couldn’t wait to try the GF pizza dough mix that was in the box of goodies!

It’s a flour concoction that I had to add some oil, water, yeast packet (which was included in the bag) and eggs. Mixed it all together, let it rise, wet my hands, spread it out and popped it into the oven for a few minutes.

Pulled it out, added some sauce & cheese & back into the oven it went for about 20 minutes. Wow! The dough was great! Best pizza dough yet. It was nice and thick and chewy and tasted like a hearty healthy wheat dough.

It was really good. I wasn’t too pleased with the pizza sauce but I’m not surprised since it was just out of a jar (I didn’t have all the ingredients for home made & always keep a jar in the cupboard- just in case!) I should’ve probably spiced the sauce up a bit but oh well… it was really just a test for the dough. It was the perfect dinner for our busy day & night since we didn’t have much time left over to clean up and get our candles & flashlights ready for our Earth Hour adventure! Milo was quiet and we had Aiden in his play tent with flashlights eating GF chocolate chip cookies! Great night. Thank you to Bob’s Red Mill for the package of goodies. We also got a package of Bob’s Red Mill GF flour mix & GF brownie mix. We’ll let you know how those turn out, soon!
