    Healthy Bites Preview: Food for Good Thought

    Food for Good Thought launched its gluten-free bakery in Clintonville back in 2011, and has quickly become known as a go-to resource for gluten-free goodies. Founder Dr. Audrey Todd not only has built a bakery that serves up great treats, she’s also baked in a social mission into the business — raising awareness about gluten-free diets for individuals with autism, and employing individuals with autism, providing them with important workforce development skills.

    If you haven’t had an opportunity to try out Food for Good Thought yet, the team from the bakery will be showcasing bite-size samples at the upcoming Healthy Bites festival on Friday, July 29th at the Columbus Museum of Art.

    “We will be sharing a variety of gluten free baked goods including brownies, cupcakes, muffins, lemon squares and buckeyes,” said Sarah Duplessis, Program Director at Food for Good Thought. “Each baked good is handmade in small batches to ensure quality.”

    Healthy Bites will take place from 6pm-9pm at the newly renovated Columbus Museum of Art. Advance tickets are $30 and will include food samples, live entertainment, participatory yoga demos by Art of Yoga, admission to the current exhibits at The Columbus Museum of Art  and a cash bar.
