Meet the Locals: Miracle Morsels
MIRACLE MORSELS
A MIRACLE FOR MIRRACOLE
BY KATE NICHOLS
Cynthia Holmes and Karen Fischer feature a quote on their website from Bette Davis—“If you want a thing done well, get a couple of old broads to do it”—and they keep finding new things to do well. With the addition of Miracle Morsels (formally Mirracole Morsels), they now have a mini empire of gluten-free delights. Cynthia is the proprietor of Ancient Grains Kitchen, where she makes gluten-free cookies, and together they own Reko’s Dream Dog Bakery, creating gluten-free dog treats that are so tasty humans sometimes sneak a bite. When it came up for sale last summer, Mirracole Morsels’s gluten-free granolas and trail mixes seemed a natural fit.
Cynthia started Ancient Grains Kitchen ten years ago to make gluten-free cookies that everyone could enjoy, whether they needed gluten-free or not. And when Karen wanted healthy, gluten-free dog biscuits for her aging dog, who was becoming a picky eater, she called Cynthia for help, and Reko’s Dream Dog Bakery was born. Reko, Canine CEO and Chief Taste Tester, tells their story at
Cynthia and Karen handcraft their products at their dedicated gluten-free commercial kitchen in Poulsbo. Proving Bette Davis’s motto, they are the superwomen of gluten free—their personal best is 600 pounds of granola produced in two days! The Co-op carries four varieties of granola in bulk, and four varieties of packaged granola on our shelves. (And naturally, we carry a variety of Ancient Grains cookies.) Be sure to try their Co-op 50th Anniversary granola—Golden Ginger Hazelnut. As a special treat, also to celebrate our 50th, we’ll have their Golden Pumpkin dog treats available for our canine friends.

As Cynthia and Karen say on their website, “Life is short. Only eat good stuff!”
