Livwell Products at Whole Foods

Archived by Diane 8/16/2024 -> no longer available

I shopped at Whole Foods earlier this week and was pleasantly surprised to find new Livwell gluten free baked goods, imported from the U.K. The Seeded Sliced Sandwich Bread ($5.49) greatly exeeded my expectations with its wonderfully bready texture. And it tastes great, too. I am looking forward to trying the Crumpets ($4.99) stashed in my freezer. Other items are available including white sandwich bread, pita bread, scones, english muffins, rolls, and pizza crusts. According to the packaging they are made without gluten, wheat and milk and are vegetarian and a good source of fiber. These products are shelved near the instore bakery at both the Cedar Center (frozen) and Woodmere (not frozen) stores.

Lorenzo’s Pizza

Oberlin

From Lynn: Please post about Lorenzo’s Pizza in Oberlin. They serve medium size only gluten-free pizza. For a vegetable deluxe I paid $12.75 for a “to die for” pizza. I can’t remember when I’ve had such great tasting pizza. This pizza will rival even regular pizza. They serve regular pizza and Italian dishes. But I can guarantee, Lorenzo’s is the best gluten-free pizza in the land. I challenge anyone to try Lorenzo’s. http://www.lorenzospizza.com/ 52 1/2 South Main St Oberlin, OH 44074 (440) 775-0118 Have you tried Lorenzo’s? Tell us what you think by commenting below.

Bistro of Green

Uniontown

Gay shared her recent experience at Bistro of Green, 3459 Massillon Road, Uniontown, OH, 330-896-1434. First of all, we arrived at 5:10 without a reservation (they open at 5:00) and they gave us the last available table! The GF menu is extensive and affordable. I ordered a pasta entree with chicken and asparagus. There were three GF options for the numerous pasta dishes – a gf pasta; julienned vegetables; or sauteed spinach. I chose the julienned vegetables and was very happy with it. Although this is over an hour from my home, it is worth returning to try another option – as they have many GF choices. (It was a “real” menu on several pages!) That sounds great! Have you eaten there? Share your review by commenting below.

Bob shared a review of Skye:

GF Menu?: Yes

Order: Crusted calamari app, seared Mahi served with butternut squash, baby spinach & quinoa entree.

Comments: Dined 4/27, the first day for the GF menu. New Executive Chef, Mariann Offtermatt, herself a Celiac, was kind enough to come to our table and chat about the menu and her plans. The meal was wonderful as is the dining room and staff. I highly recommend Skye for a spectacular dining experience in Mentor. My wife (not GF) and I will return often. A couple of burgers are available on Udi’s buns for those who want Skye’s “Pub Fare”.

Thanks Mariann for sharing these pictures of some of the gluten free menu items:

Parent & Kid's Event, "Celebrating Earth Day"

Sue and Giordana hosted an event for kids and parents this past Sunday, April 22.

Sue reports about the fun:

Giordana had made a bunch of earth day themed games: memory games, word search, etc. These were great for the kids to complete while we waited for the rest of the families to arrive. She also made edible ‘dirt’ for the kids to enjoy.

We started out the meeting with a little lesson on recycling and how long it takes for different products to biodegrade (plastic takes 500 years!). We had the kids decorate sugar cookies to look like Earth and then they made planters out of egg shells.
