As avid supporters of the Paleo lifestyle and parents to Gluten Free children, Stephen Friedman's family has had a clean and healthy diet for years. However, they were consistently disappointed with the lack of tasty Paleo and Gluten Free baked goods on the market. While on a family vacation they were introduced to cassava flour and it's power to make outstanding bread, bagels, chips, and more. After endless research and lots of inspiration, the Pagel (a Gluten Free and Paleo-friendly bagel) was born! It was love at first taste for their friends and family who encouraged them to continue baking Paleo and Gluten Free mouthwatering goodies. Soon after, Bedrock Bakers was created.

200: The Final Episode - The End of Ritzfit

A quick announcement before the very last episode of The No Diet Podcast.

199: The No Diet Podcast is Ending

Sweet Apricity founder, Tonya, Sweet Apricity answers the question “Can I ever eat something fun again?” Tonya began crafting her dairy-free caramels as a graduation gift for her best friend Wendy, who manages debilitating symptoms with the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP). While offering powerful relief for those with autoimmune disease, the AIP also eliminates gluten, grains, chocolate, dairy, eggs, and refined sugars, taking store-bought treats off the table. Tonya knew what most of us who have tried a strict diet understand: sometimes the greatest gift is an indulgence that won’t wreck our progress. Sweet Apricity’s Caramels, Marshmallows, and NEW Caramel Sauce offer a sweet reward for all the work it takes to heal. They are grain-free, dairy-free, and refined sugar-free, made only with simple ingredients allowed on the AIP and Paleo diets. And they’re delicious.  The first time Wendy tried what would become a Sweet Apricity sea salted caramel she named our mantra: that just a little makes AIP worthwhile. What began as a celebratory offering has grown into a cult favorite treat. Still locally crafted by hand in Portland, Oregon, Sweet Apricity remains true to its roots with real ingredients, small batch production, and a growing line of artisan offerings. From the beginning, the mission of Sweet Apricity has been to offer a treat made with ingredients our bodies will love. We know that elimination diets can feel mentally taxing even as they help our bodies heal. That rather than derailing our efforts, the right treat might just help us stay the course. Sweet Apricity will help you find the joy in your healing diet. It’s a burst of sweetness as welcome as the warmth of the winter sun.
