Options for Celiac disease, Glutenus minimus

Kim Raubenheimer - Wednesday, April 13, 2011
Do you have Celiac disease?  Are you bored with your options in the market for baked goods?
Check out Glutenus Minimus in Belmont owned by Natalie McEachern.

She was diagnosed at the age of 21 while in college.  Limited by the gluten free options available, Natalie and her mom started experimenting with recipes of the foods she once enjoyed.  They have perfected the ingredients and you could never tell they are gluten-free.  My kids can tell you.  They tried the chocolate chip cookies from the bakery and loved them.  Neither of my children have celiac disease!  I find children are the best critic when it comes to baked goods!

Natalie also sells her products to various restaurants and markets.  Check out the website for more information:

Stone Hearth Pizza is one of the locations that uses Glutenus Minimus products.  My niece (who has celiac) recently tried the gluten-free pizza at Stone Hearth Pizza and loved it! 

CYCLE Kids

Kim Raubenheimer - Friday, October 15, 2010

Cycle and learn.  Children enrolled in CYCLE Kids learn the answers to such mysteries as why bicycles stay up, how gears and chains multiply their energy when they pedal, and how to check air pressure in tires. In food science experiments, they make butter to learn about fat, and use magnets to learn about iron. They learn how to calculate their heart rates, how to eat for energy, and how to make healthy food choices.

CYCLE Kids students learn to respect the environment, both natural and man made. To ensure CYCLE Kids programs work with each schools particular environment, our staff meets with teachers, volunteers, and community organizations.
To learn more about how you can get CYCLE Kids in your neighborhood, or if you would like to help them help others, e-mail them at info@cyclekids.org, or visit them at www.cyclekids.org.
