The Language of Food

Food has its very own language. At its best, it is a nurturing, maternal, and satisfying language. Universally known and cherished, food can bring people together, heal the spirit, and warm one’s soul on a bad day.

I believe that food should spark conversations. It should foster and strengthen relationships. Food should be an enjoyable, communal experience.

I speak this language of food every day at my home away from home-Apple’s Bakery. My friendly staff and I celebrate the unique role food plays in our lives and in the lives of our customers. In our personal approach
to baking, and in our dedication to Midwestern hospitality, we aim to create quality food that will inspire conversations.

I welcome you to this first installment of Smiles Made From Scratch, a blog devoted to the glorious language of food. This space will focus on Apple’s Bakery’s business of high-quality healthy baked goods and will
highlight a fast growing branch of our Apple’s Bakery tree: our gluten-free kitchen.

My goal is to educate and spark conversations about the gluten-free way of life. Apple’s Bakery is committed to providing healthy and delicious gluten-free baked goods to those with Celiac disease and those simply
looking for alternatives. Coconut meltaway sugar cookies, lemon drop cookies, chocolate flourless cake - gluten-free does not have to mean inedible.

Stay tuned for future conversations about gluten-free alternatives, food and business trends, issues related to Chicagoland and our home in Central Illinois, and Apple’s Bakery’s exciting endeavors such as our promotional program Corporate Call.

In the meantime, feel free to visit Apple’s home on the web: www.applesbakery.com

Thanks for stopping by!

Mary
