Good morning! We're very excited to tell you about our brand spankin' new online ordering system which is almost but not quite ready to go live. So if you're one of our many customers that prefers delivery or pick-up over instore shopping, listen up. You'll be able to add practically any item to your cart that we carry and see current prices, as well as list substitutions if we happen to be out of stock on something in particular. This new system is really going to increase the accuracy of your order as well as make ordering simpler and quicker! So stay tuned; we'll let you know the moment it's ready for you to use!
Lately we've been getting a lot of new product in so let's get busy and get into it! We'll start with our new gluten-free baked items and leading things off is Aidan's Pitas! We have new Soft Pitas (6 packs) that come in delicious Wild Blueberry as well as Cranberry flavour and there's also Pocket Pitas (4 pack) available in Original as well as a brown option of Red Lentil & Blue Corn (which also contains twice the fibre as the Original). All are made with 100% natural ingredients and are also egg-free, nut-free, peanut-free and soy-free! Plus, they're made in Ontario.
Pikanik Bakery of Surrey, BC specializes in gluten-free, top allergen-free and plant-based goods. But you don't have to go and line up to sample some of their wares because we now carry two of them right here in our frozen food aisle! For an incredible pizza just thaw Pikanik Bakery Gluten Frickin' Free Pizza Dough, roll out into a 10"-12" pizza, add sauce and your favourite toppings and you're good to go! Bake for 15 minutes and presto, instant new favourite meal! Or you can heat from frozen their Pikanik Gluten Frickin' Free Focaccia. Stick it in the oven for 18 minutes, cool for 10 and eat it in seconds!
For those of you who don't shy away from gluten, you might be interested in Pretzilla Soft Pretzel Mini Buns! These little guys make the perfect sliders, mini-sandwiches or you can have the perfect soft pretzel dinner rolls by sprinkling on some salt from the included packet! Made in a certified peanut and tree nut-free facility, these are also kosher and vegan!
Triscuit Crackers have been around for over 100 years and these 100% whole wheat crackers now come in a huge assortment of flavours including the brand new Triscuit Tzatziki! It's the true taste of fresh yogurt, cucumber and dill combined in a crunchy whole grain cracker that can be topped with cheese or your favourite ingredient, or eaten straight out of the box!
Just in time for your summer culinary creations comes Sunflower Kitchen Babaghanouj and fresh Basil Pesto and Kale & Oregano Pesto available from our Deli Department! The babaghanouj is a middle eastern roasted eggplant dip with a rich and smoky flavour. The pestos are made with raw fresh herbs and sunflower seeds. But everything is dairy-free, nut-free and vegan!
Also in our Deli Department comes Oakrun Farm Bakery Belgian Waffles. Traditionally waffles in Belgium are consumed as a dessert and served with powdered sugar, whipped cream, butter, ice cream, chocolate sauce, fruits etc. Sounds good, right? Well, guess what? It IS good and once you toast these waffles to the perfect crispy and golden brown the possibilities for dressing them up become endless! Available in a multipack or in singles!
We've talked an awful lot about things that you can't drink so it's time to introduce you to Rise Brewing Co. Organic Oat Milk (this might pair nicely with those waffles...). Made from only four simple ingredients, it's creamy, slightly sweet and refreshingly smooth! This is dairy-free drinkin' at its finest!
And speaking of dairy-free, why not try Melt Organic Buttery Sticks on your next ear of fresh corn on the cob? It's made with organic coconut oil but it's free from gluten, soy and nuts and is high in medium-chain fatty acids (MCFA). It's butter made from plants that can be substituted straight up so you can replace the old with the new and not have to worry about revisions to your recipes!
And finally, you may remember some time ago us telling you about Sheese, a non-dairy, gluten-free and vegan simulated cheese product in the Wensleydale Style with Cranberries. Well, we've added Sheese Vegan Blue Style simulated cheese product that makes for the perfect substitution for regular blue cheese. You won't believe this isn't real blue cheese and neither will your party guests!
Please see the attached weekly specials. Also, don't forget that Father's Day is this Sunday, June 21! Steve Martin said, "A father carries pictures where his money used to be." So make sure to remind that special male role model in your life how much he means to you, whether he's your father or not. And maybe buy him a hotdog.
Until next week, take good care.
