breads and 1 American-Italian: An Italian Loaf Bread , crunchy on the outside and soft
on the inside, A Ciabatta loaf for making your favorite sandwiches and finally, a

For those of you who don’t know, our friend and daily customer, Randy Theis,
has lost over 100 pounds in the past year. He accomplished this amazing feat by

damage. Randy also happens to be a very good cook, and he has graciously accepted
my invitation to teach a vegan class for meat lovers. On the menu: Mexican Stuffed
Peppers, BBQ Jackfruit Sliders with Slaw, Rice & Bean Power Bowl, and Smoky
Bean Tacos. He will also teach us how to make some healthy appetizers - Hearts of Palm “Crab”
