Losing weight My Mission

It all began with foodie and chef Brandon founder of GuiltFree Pastries when he discovered his lifestyle was far from healthy and was driven to lose weight. Within 110 days he had lost a total of 125 pounds and later on in March of 2013 Brandon succumbed to an allergic reaction to gluten which resulted in him concocting recipes in which he could still satisfy his sweet tooth and remain healthy too so in the kitchen he went for a creation that was not only delicious but free from grains and gluten in which GuiltFree Pastires was born ! Brandon's first GuiltFree Pastries creation was a brownie that was made with avacado giving them that moist texture so rich yet so delicious without any processed sugar, grains, gluten or butter using both local and organic ingredients.
