Honor The Celiacs in Your Life By Being Informed

It’s National Celiac Awareness Month. How many people in your life are affected by celiac disease?

Some have chosen to go gluten-free because of the health benefits. For many, the decision wasn’t theirs.

Here are some interesting facts about Celiac Disease from The Celiac Disease Foundation:

• The cause of the disease is unknown.
• One out of 133 people in the United States is affected by this disease.
• Celiac disease is NOT a food allergy. It is an autoimmune disease.
• Gluten triggers an autoimmune reaction.

At Kim & Scott’s Gourmet Pretzels, we believe that everyone should have the opportunity to enjoy our product. That’s why we have developed a gluten-free pretzel!

Honor the celiacs in your life by ensuring they can enjoy the same foods as you. At your next get together, put out some gluten-free pretzels for them. Your friends and family will thank you!

Food Review 101′s Take on Kim & Scott’s Cheesy Pretzels

We’d like to thank Food Review 101 for their kind words about our Jalapeno Cheese and Grilled Cheese Stuffed Pretzels!

Here’s a snippet of the review:

“We have a feeling that Kim and Scott don’t think anything is too crazy for them to make, because almost everything they offer is like something out of Willy Wonka– if he turned out to be a baker that is.”

Well, we certainly thing that our bakery is as magical as Willy Wonka’s factory!

Kim & Scott’s: An Awesome Mother’s Day Treat!

Tomorrow is Mother’s Day! Whether you are looking for a last-minute gift or a sweet treat for Mom, our pretzels are the answer!

Last Minute Gift: How cool would it be to give mom her favorite flavor(s) of Kim & Scott’s pretzels as a great Mother’s Day gift? They are the gift that keeps on giving! She can enjoy them all for herself as part of a meal or a quick snack on the go! All of the other moms will be envious!

Breakfast in Bed: Everyone loves to bring mom breakfast in bed on Mother’s Day, but those trays can be cumbersome. Why dirty up a lot of pots and pans, when you can throw a Kim and Scott’s egg and cheese pretzel in the oven or microwave to have a quick breakfast for mom. If she loves something sweet for breakfast, how about bringing her a cinnamon roll or apple cinnamon pretzel? Dads, you can bring Mom her favorite morning breakfast while your youngsters bring mom her breakfast! She’ll be so surprised.

A Special Dessert: Does your mom have a sweet tooth? Why not make her a brownie pretzel sundae for dessert. This is an easy activity for the kids. Once the pretzel is heated up, they can add mom’s favorite ice cream and toppings. What a twisted way to close out mom’s special day!

How are you honoring your mom tomorrow?

A HUGE Thank You!

On April 21st, we opened our magical bakery up for all to see.

In return, you opened your hearts to benefit KIPP Chicago, a cause close to the hearts of Kim and Scott.

A HUGE THANK YOU to the 71 kids and their families who came out to twist pretzels with us! We were so happy to see so many faces from KIPP! Because of your generosity, we raised $642!
