119220 Sat Feb 25 18:01:39 -0800 2006 22 7 Chicago Area 0 650577 I have taken up Today's Temptations bread as a cause. Yesterday I called the bakery (phone number is on label) to ask who else besides Treasure Island stocks it, as TI gets it in once a week then it all sells out ASAP. My impression was that this local North Side bakery is a small concern. The man on the phone told me that in the city only Treasure Island carries it and that he mostly sells in the Northern Suburbs. So yesterday I put in a request at Trader Joe's and intend to do the same at WholeFoods. My motive is purely selfish: I'm afraid my puny and precarious supply line will disappear. If you try this bread and compare its nutrients label with others, you will understand. It has only 6 carbs and 45 calories per slice, 'way less than any other brand I've found, and has NO sugar. It is a delicious whole wheat that makes crunchy toast. Apparently I'm not the only person who likes it as every week it disappears from the store. Do try it and if you like it, keep asking for it. My guess is that the guy who makes it is not sophisticated about marketing his good product so we may all have to help him.

The Oakton Market (or whatever it is called) has a section for Today's Temptation. Still, I don't get out there that often. It would be nice to have a closer source (besides TI). Do you know if they have an outlet store? Their bakery is at 1900 n. Austin blvd. near Elmwood Park.

I called the bakery yesterday because they hadn't delivered to Treasure Island, which they usually have been doing on Thursday and by Friday PM there was still no TT bread in the store. The man said they supply mostly the Northern Suburbs and that Treasure Island is their only outlet in the city. You might cruise by the bakery sometime and see if direct purchases can be made there. Where are you getting the Latvian Pumpernickel? Treasure Island at Clark & Elm stocks the whole wheat every week and sometimes the millet bread, which I haven't tried. The whole wheat is an amazing find for anybody counting carbs and/or calories. Sun Feb 26 00:56:58 -0800 2006 650578 0 N Tocus 3 650585 I get the Latvian Pump at the Marketplace on Oakton in Skokie. I haven't been there for a couple of weeks. It is pretty long drive, so I only get there when I have other errands in the area. Sun Feb 26 11:03:09 -0800 2006 650584 0 roger spark 1 650580 Sounds like a winning brand, I'll have to give TT a try if I can find it at Treasure Island. I've become a routine buyer of Healthy Life's Sugar Free bread, you'll find it's nutritionally tops. Sat Feb 25 22:34:00 -0800 2006 650577 0 ChowSkinny 2 650583 Thanks. Where do you get it? My Today's Temptations supply is limited so I keep looking for alternatives just in case. Everything else I've found has twice the calories and three or four times the carbs. Sun Feb 26 00:50:18 -0800 2006 650580 0 N Tocus 1 650592 Yes- I've gotten it at the Treasure Island on Broadway-I believe it was the wheat bread-stated "great for diabetics" on the label It's thinly sliced and stays moist for several days after purchase...I was amazed that a delicious and nutritional bread could have so few calories and high nutrients and then it disappeared??? They usually stock it on the rack in front of the deli counter....However another of my favorite breads has also disappeared??? King David Kosher out of Evanston- they made a great sliced challah bread anyone seen their bread anywhere lately?? Mon Feb 27 13:22:55 -0800 2006 650577 0 Pauly 1 650610 Today I went to the Marketplace on Oakton and bought another loaf of Today's Temptation Latvian Pumpernickle. I love it. It is dark and dense and moist with a chewy crust. IMHO, it beats any other dark rye available in the area, hands down. They also had the TT wheat bread, which looks very good. However, the low-carb message makes it look dietetic, which to most people means tasteless. I think that probably keeps many people from trying it. A new Today's Temptations item I discovered today is the Cheese Coffee Cake, which truly is a thing of beauty. Seriously, it is gorgeous. No way I could pass it up, even though it screamed triple bypass. I have not tried it yet, but just by looking at it, I am sure it will be dangerously addictive. I have promised myself I will never read the nutrition label. Mon Feb 27 23:31:51 -0800 2006 650577 0 roger spark 2 650612 Well, after my last post, I had to go try a sliver of that coffee cake (even though I am saving it for company tommorrow).It is a very moist puffy egg bread (like challa), with a thin sweet cheese layer and chocolate drizzled on top like tiger stripes. There is no nutrition label, but the ingredients say it contains no butter, and is made with low-fat milk. It is not nearly as sweet or as fatty as it looks, which suits me just fine. I like it! Tue Feb 28 00:18:07 -0800 2006 650610 0 roger spark 2 650616 Re the dietetic look---that doesn't seem to be stopping the shoppers at my local Treasure Island, who clean out the supply within a few days of the weekly delivery. That's what's so amazing about the TT whole wheat bread---it is actually good, very tasty. And so many people now are watching carbs and/or calories. Makes really crunchy, sweet-wheat-tasting toast. Tue Feb 28 09:32:47 -0800 2006 650610 0 N Tocus 1 4014595 I agree--i called the guy--he needs to market better..the bread is great--i live by midway airport and drive an hr to treasure island..for it. Sat Sep 06 23:41:03 -0700 2008 650577 224354 madas 1 4017725 This bread is the bomb!!! It disappeared for a while but now back at Treasure Island with several differnet varieties including dark ryes, lithuanian, the excellent low-carb whole grain, etc...all priced around $3.50...similiar to the old Baltic Bakery breads but I prefer the taste of these Mon Sep 08 11:29:44 -0700 2008 650577 104118 paulispumonti 1 4151504 I couldn't agree more. I love this bread and I wouldn't have been able to lose 35+ lbs since January without it as i love my toast in the morning. I get it at Harvest Time on Lawrence just west of Rockwell. I would eat this bread even if I weren't trying to lose weight, it's that tasty! BTW if you haven't been to Harvest Time before that store is a great little find too. Great fresh produce at half the price you see at the chain groceries. I call their bread aisle the United Nations bread aisle as you can get fresh delivered bread from all the great ethnic bakeries all over the city....Latvian, Armenian, Hispanic, Italian, Greek...you name it.

Sun Nov 09 11:21:07 -0800 2008 650577 25620 elc515 1 4277026 FYI, They have now reformulated their products and all are now Kosher Parve. December 24, 2008 27 Kislev 5769 Today’s Temptations in Chicago, Illinois, bakes several different varieties of cakes and breads, all under the certification of the cRc. Some of the cakes may list some dairy ingredients on the package such as whey or cheese. The ingredients have been reformulated and, regardless of the listed ingredients, ALL of their products are pareve, Pas Yisroel.

Mon Dec 29 13:18:21 -0800 2008 4277026 104118 paulispumonti 3 4301407 The Jewel on Howard now has a display of their bread oposite Breadsmith Tue Jan 06 13:03:41 -0800 2009 4280662 251066 ALITIN 1 4748293 FYI, if you haven't already tried it, Healthy Life has a good Rye too - come in both seeded and unseeded with 5 Net Carbs (also NO Sugar). Most Dominick's and some Walmart's have. Jewel has the white/wheat version, but does not carry the Rye. Sat Jun 06 11:06:28 -0700 2009 650577 1048345 cbabut 2 4751024 I'm still bananas over their Lithuanian Rye Bread....It has a slight sweetness, little morsels of fresh onion, and it makes for a great sandwich...and also toasts well- delicious in the AM with a slice of havarti....and it's one huge loaf of bread.... Sun Jun 07 16:04:51 -0700 2009 4748293 104118 paulispumonti 3 4751083 Lately I have seen Today's Temptation bread at Treasure Island, and in more varieties. For more than a year it had disappeared so this is good news. I hope they do well. Sun Jun 07 16:29:19 -0700 2009 4751024 15521 Querencia 4 4760918 Jerrys Fruit on milwaukee carries a nice selection. Wed Jun 10 14:12:27 -0700 2009 4751083 251066 ALITIN 1 4819987 I recently discovered Today's Temptations breads at Woodman's in North Aurora. They have their own table. I tried their low carb, multigrain Italian, and now the Lithuanian rye. All fantastic! Delicious and healthy! By looking at the label, I was concerned that they wouldn't be around long. Now reading the others posts, it seems like the breads are turning up in a variety of grocery stores, and they have many fans like me! Tue Jun 30 19:57:37 -0700 2009 650577 1089935 gailxadri
