First annual BBQ for the Canadian Celiac Association

Mark your calendars! It’s official: Organic Oven will be hosting its first gluten-free barbecue fundraiser on Sunday, June 10.

We’re still fine-tuning the details (i.e. cost, etc.) but we will be selling tickets to this wonderful event in the coming weeks. Each ticket will include your gluten-free meal, an organic drink and a gluten-free dessert.

While we will be barbecuing gluten-free beef burgers, we will also be providing vegan burgers — yes, VEGAN BURGERS!! — and gluten-free sausages.

Ten per cent of all ticket sales will be donated directly to the Canadian Celiac Association.

To stay up-to-date on the details, like us on Facebook or follow us on Twitter.

The seminar will be hosted by CNP and CMA Angela Shim, who will also be introducing Young Living’s full line of food-grade essential oils, antioxidant-infused NigXia Red wolfberry juice and the new Slique Tea kit. For more information on Slique Tea, read this flyer or visit Young Living’s website.

On April 11, 18 and 25, KMCC resident teacher, Gen Kelsang Chogyan will be leading the series, “Meditation to Develop a Flexible Mind.” It is a drop-in class which means there’s no need to sign up. If you’re in the area, please drop on in!

DATES: April 11, 18 and 25

TIME: 7:30 p.m.

WHERE: Organic Oven Bakery & Café, 3189 Yonge St. (north of Lawrence Ave.)

NOTE: The seminar will begin after the cafe’s doors close so if you’d like to make some purchases, please come early! The cafe will close at 7 p.m.

Although we have gluten-free products in stock at our Toronto cafe and Brampton bakery on a daily basis, if you are looking for something a little fancier, we only ask that you give us at least 3 business days notice. Our standard ordering policy will apply.

For bigger events such as wedding and showers, character or fondant cakes and handmade decorations, we require a few weeks notice.

The weather may be fickle but there’s no doubt that spring is here. Along with it comes some new products from Organic Oven’s kitchen, a new meditation workshop series and a health seminar. Whew! There’s so much in store, we’re not sure it’s all going to fit in this email!

Introducing some new vegan and vegetarian menu items!

We’ve added two new vegetarian lunch options to our Toronto cafe’s menu!

The first is a vegetarian alternative to our tuna and chicken salad: The eggplant salad sandwich. Sauteed eggplants, chopped organic celery, parsley and green onions, mixed with soy-free mayonnaise, sandwiched between a gluten-free bun with organic lettuce and cucumbers.

The second — an instant hit — is the California-style grilled veggie sandwich: Grilled sweet peppers, zucchini, mushrooms, onions and eggplants, topped with feta cheese and grilled between a gluten-free bun.

Also new this month: The vegan magic muffin. A great mix of organic coconut, raisins, apples and carrots, this muffin is already a new favourite! It’s completely dairy-free, eggless, nut-free, and of course, it’s 100% gluten-free!

We’re open Passover & Easter Weekend!

Yes! The Toronto cafe will be open on Good Friday (9 a.m. to 5 p.m.), Easter Sunday (9 a.m. to 6 p.m.) and Easter Monday (9 a.m. to 5 p.m.).

The Brampton bakery will be closed on Good Friday and Easter Sunday.

Don’t forget to place your special orders for Passover and Easter. It’s always a busy time so, it’s better to call ahead.

We look forward to being a part of your special occasions!

Free seminar on essential oils, healthy digestion and blood sugar balance

We want to share an ancient secret: Therapeutic grade essential oils plus a balanced whole foods diet, with the proper nutrients, equals real results. On Sunday, April 15, we will be offering a seminar on healthy digestion, blood sugar balance, and the real benefits of essential oils and essential oil products.

The seminar will be hosted by CNP and CMA Angela Shim, who will also be introducing Young Living’s full line of food-grade essential oils, antioxidant-infused NigXia Red wolfberry juice and the new Slique Tea kit. For more information on Slique Tea, read this flyer or visit Young Living’s website.
