GF Valentine's Date with My Love




We swung by Sweet Theory Baking Co and picked up a GF Chocolate Chip Cookie Stack and a GF Whoopie Pie. The Cookie Stack was amazing! It has a light, airy filling in the middle similar to a twinkie but the sweetness doesn't overpower the cookies. Both were amazing! It's called a Bakery but really, it's very much like a quiet, cozy coffee shop.

 Here you can find organic cotton candy, sundaes, ice cream, shakes, candy apples, chocolate dipped fruits, and a fine selection of gourmet chocolates. They have a huge multi-layered table and upon this table sits jar upon jar of wonderful natural and organic treats for your enjoyment. I've met the owners before and both are very kind and knowledgeable. I picked up a few goodies myself - see below!
GF/DF Vegan Chocolate Covered Marshmallows- Yum!
Gluten Free Dairy Free Chocolate Covered Grahams - Oh So Good!

My love ^_^

Our final stop was over at Native Sun {when am I not there?}, where we both chose a nice gluten free meat and vegetable based dinner. After noshing on cookies and candy, we thought it might be a good idea to allow our last stop to be somewhere that had plenty of vegetables and meats to choose from. It was all together a very fun trip and since we have such young children, every date has to count!

Please support local businesses that support our diet! The owners of these companies are very passionate about their customers needs and in today's time, that's just a sad rarity. Until next outing!
