News Highlights
My Daily Bread Whole Grains Bakery - New Ownership!
My Daily Bread wishes to share some exciting news with you... we are under new ownership! Our friends at Leilani's Gardens have assumed ownership over the company and we couldn't be more excited. Leilani's Gardens and My Daily Bread share many of the same values and goals which include providing healthy, natural and organic products to our customers. When the original owners of My Daily Bread decided it was time to hang up their aprons, it seemed like a 'natural' fit to bring the bakery to the farm.
Don't worry – we've kept all of our recipes, and even our baker, Bruce, so you'll still receive the same quality baked goods that you have come to expect from us at My Daily Bread. Not only can you expect the same products, but we hope to bring some exciting new additions to the table using the fresh produce we'll now have, literally, in our own back yard.
Our customers are very important to us, and we value your patronage. We are pleased to continue serving the community and people who have helped us grow into the bakery we are today, and we look forward to the new opportunities that lie ahead.
Thank you for your support!

Recipes of the Week
Sweet and Savory Kale
Submitted by Karen deLaubenfels
Serves 4-6
(I made ¼ of this recipe the first time in order to test it. It was so good that I ate it all at once!)
2 tablespoons of olive oil
½ medium onion – chopped
3 cloves garlic – minced
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon cider vinegar (I used more – add ½ tablespoon at a time to taste.)
1 ¼ cups of chicken stock
1 1-pound bag of kale (chopped kale without thick stem pieces)
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional:
1/3 cup of sliced cranberries (I didn't use)
¼ cup of sliced almonds (I didn't use)
Directions:
In a large stock pot, heat olive oil on medium high heat.
Add onion and garlic; saute until onion softens, stirring often, about 5 minutes.
Stir in mustard, sugar, cider vinegar and chicken stock. Bring to a boil on high heat (I didn't do this.)
Add kale, cover and cook 5 minutes, stirring often.
Add (optional) cranberries.
Continue cooking on medium high heat, stirring often.
The liquid should reduce by about half and cranberries (if used) will get plump in about 10 minutes.
Season with salt and pepper.
Sprinkle with almonds, if desired.
Serves 4 - 6
Creamed Kale (Dairy Free)
Submitted by Karen deLaubenfels
Sauce:
2 to 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 small onion, chopped (about 1 heaping cup)
2 cloves garlic, chopped
½ cup raw cashews (B Blood types might want to try walnuts or another acceptable substitute)
2 cups water
½ small jalapeno pepper, seeded
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
1 to 2 teaspoons Herbamare (I used Bragg Organic Sprinkle with 24 Herbs & Spices instead)
Preparation:
Chop the kale and set aside.
Heat a large skillet (11 or 12-inch) over medium heat. Add the olive oil, then the onions and garlic. Saute for about 5 minutes or until softened and beginning to change color.
Add them to a blender along with the cashews, water, jalapeno pepper, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, and Herbamare. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Place the sauce back into your skillet along with the chopped kale and simmer for 10 – 15 minutes or until kale has softened and sauce has thickened.
Taste and season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper if needed.
Note: Another alternative to Herbamare is to make you own and do it your way!
Here's one suggestion that I found: sea salt, dried parsley, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, rosemary, thyme, sage, basil, celery seed, marjoram, and dried kelp.
