Uncommon Grains

Shaker Square Farmer’s Market

Archived by Trisha 2/10/2020 – business closed

NOTE by Diane: Find Uncommon Grains at the Shaker Square Market and Coventry and Lee Road Phoenix Coffee Cafes.

I was surprised and very pleased to stumble upon the Uncommon Grains stand at the Wednesday farmers market at Cleveland Clinic Beachwood.  This new dedicated gluten free bakery made its debut today and has plans to sell at this market each week.

I decided to try a bit of everything and bought foccacia bread (my first since going GF 6 years ago!), a chocolate frosted chocolate cupcake, salted chocolate chocolate chip cookies, and a blueberry muffin.  Prices are as expected for GF baked goods.

Everything was delicious with a good texture and minimal crumble.  The blueberry muffin was especially noteworthy, reminding me of the blueberry muffins I so frequently baked years ago.

Gluten Free Living Magazine – Read For Free

Archived by Diane 11/12/22 – > no longer available

I am a big fan of Gluten Free Living magazine.  The stories are well researched and relevant to my concerns living gluten free.

Found that Gluten Free Living is one of the nearly 400 popular titles available FREE to all Cuyahoga County Public Library card holders.  A full digital copy is available to be read on your computer/tablet/mobile device using the Zinio app or website.  No subscription limits or expirations.

The set up was easy but expect to create logins at 2 separate sites.  Hint: the same email and password will work for both. Digital Collection – Zinio.

Tried J Gumbo’s yesterday.  It is a fast food cajun/creole eatery.  About a half dozen menu items are designated gluten free, including spicy Voodoo Chicken, creamy Bumblebee Stew and a traditional Jambalaya.  Loved that they offer samples, so I tried all of the GF varieties before placing my order.  I enjoyed a bowl of White Chili served over rice.  As I was leaving I saw a menu notation that you can order a 2nd entree for $1 or 3rd for $2 more, served together in one bowl. The next time I would get the spicy Voodoo Chicken in combination with one of the milder offerings.

Located just up from Public Square between Chipotle and Noodlecat.
