Happy April, 2009
Greetings! 
Every one here at the Little Aussie Bakery wishes all of our customers a great Easter and a wonderful month.  We have all kinds of great stuff in store for this month. We are opening an hour earlier on Saturdays, and offering a partial breakfast menu due to popular demand. We have a delicious new breakfast cookie, that is made largely from flaxseed that is made to kick your day off right. We no have souvenir T-shirts with our Logo and much much more. Got a couple of great books to promote too.
 
HungerbusterFlaxseed Breaky ("Hungerbuster") Bar
Rita has been working on the healthy breakfast substitute for some time. And she has come up with a beaut. For those of you who are looking for something fast and easy to kick the day off right, look no further. This breaky bar is quite the miracle sustainer. It is packed with whole flaxseed, a couple of these are going to take you right through to lunch. No glucose spikes either, for those who have sugar issue. Flax seed is known for it ability to bring down the glycemic index. So enjoy breakfast right and conscience free with no sugar highs, and no hunger pangs. This bar also contains coconut milk, olive oil, potato starch,  brown sugar and baking soda. This makes a great lunch box filler for school lunches too. And for those of you who still feel the need to ask, it is totally gluten free, as well as dairy, egg, corn and nut free.

2 cookies: $2.50     4 cookies: $4.80       6 cookies: $6.95   12 cookies$13.50

Books:  The UltraMind Solution
Mark Hyman MD describes in this book, how we are seeing in our modern Western Culture an epidemic of "Broken Brains". This is not a scaremongering text it offers some very practical solutions for fixing our "broken brains" by first fixing our broken bodies.  Mark believes that our diet's play an enormous part in the damage that we do to ourselves. And surprise surprise we find that gluten is not playing a minor part in the chorus line here. Mark sees gluten as a major player in this problem, and not just for people with "gluten sensitivity"  This is a must read for anyone with any sort of interest in improving their health, and accepts the notion that they might be expected to have an active role in that self improvement. get yours at:

Hindsight by Susan Lynn Perry.( A single Mother, a son with autism. An Inspirational Story)

Hindsight Kate Mitchell, a single mother of a boy with autism, once dreamed of climbing the corporate ladder and living the good life with the man of her dreams. Now, with an abusive ex-husband, escalating medical bills, and
fading hope for her son's future, she decides that she has no choice but to sue the giant pharmaceutical company that she believes is responsible for her son's illness.  Through a random twist of fate, the young and inexperienced lawyer, James Mouton, takes her case, and the two embark on a journey that will forever change their lives and potentially those of thousands of others affected by the growing epidemic of autism.

All the very best from all of us here at the Little Aussie.

Bread Slice
Our Breads

Golden Flax Bread
This is our regular house bread it's a savory bread, the same that we use for our delicious sandwiches.  It's light, it's fluffy it's nutty in taste and soft in texture.  It's flavor is derived
from the fresh golden flax seeds that we grind into it every day. It is low in sodium, and low in sugar. It comes in loaves, hamburger buns and pizza bases.

All of our breads, can be sliced, wafer thin for sandwiches,or chunky thick for toasting. They don't crumble before or after freezing.  They make excellent croutons and is second to none for french toast.

Raisin Bread
This is a sweet bread that comes in a full size loaf or a bun.  It is best described as a breakfast bread.  It is lightly sweetened, and also comes with an abundance of raisins. 


Cinnamon Scrolls
Sweet round rolls made from raisin bread dough, wrapped around cinnamon and cane sugar, to form a pinwheel shape.

Rosemary Bread
This comes both in loaves and buns, like the house bread it is rich in flax seed, light in sodium and sugar. Fresh ground rosemary leaves are added to the dough before baking giving this bread a warm Mediterranean flavor.

Cake of the Month

April's featured cake is our beautifully decorated Lemon Tart. If you are lucky enough to see this in our cabinet, grab a piece without hesitation. For two reasons, there is absolutely no doubt that you are going to Love.Lemon Tart
Secondly, if you leave it till you get back from the rest-
room, there is a very good chance that someone else saw it first and finished it on you. This dessert is delightfully tart and lemon flavored, the base is made from our own crushed vanilla cookies. It is decorated with edible marzipan fruit, and real leaves, which probably aren't edible. A definite must taste
