I have a confession…you know how people ask, “if you could have any superpower, what would it be?” Mine has always been to eat anything I want without the guilt or consequences! 😋 So, I can’t tell you how excited I am to introduce you to our latest Featured Baker, Pari’, of GuiltFree Goodies Bakery! Based out of the Washington D.C. metro area, but shipping across the United States, you will want to indulge without the guilt too!
Tell Me More!
Pari’, owner and mom of two young kids, calls her business a “healthy bakery”. Her products are all free of sugar, grains, gluten, GMOs, preservatives, artificial flavors and colors. On top of that, they are all keto-friendly, low-carb, celiac and diabetic-friendly and aligned with a paleo lifestyle. She also has options for vegan, egg-free and dairy-free needs. Wow, I didn’t even know this kind of sorcery existed! Pari’ has perfected her recipes through a lot of experimentation, research and taste tests and has developed a large and loyal customer base. But she has big plans for the future and is excited to inspire more people to try these healthy goodies!
How It ALl Started
Pari’ has lived an all-natural lifestyle for many years and when her husband went gluten-free, she started experimenting more. Slowly, this expanded to sugar-free, alternative sugars and then keto. She was really just baking for her and her husband when a friend approached her about opening a bakery. At the time, Pari’ worked in marketing and her friend was an experienced baker. Together, they joined forces but kept it a small side business. Until Pari’ unexpectedly lost her job at 6 months pregnant, at which point she focused all her efforts on growing the business.
Simple ingredients = guiltfree goodness
When they started the business, Pari’ was “the muffin lady” and her partner was “the cookie lady”. They used simple ingredients with a big focus on nutrition. Their biggest focus was that everything should be supportive of a keto and paleo lifestyle. But over the years, the recipes were tweaked and introduced to meet a wide range of dietary restrictions and needs.
Pari’ has since become full owner of GuiltFree Goodies and is excited about introducing more frequent new offerings as her business grows. She has big plans to secure a commercial kitchen space, hire another baker and an assistant. This will allow her to focus more on developing new recipes and also marketing to reach more customers. Locally, she’s hopeful to sell her products in cafes and other businesses to grow the wholesale side of the business. And she continues to find success with her coveted gift boxes, which have become popular as corporate gifts as well!
Mom Approved
Something that Pari’ is really proud of is that all her products are mom-approved even upon scrutiny by the strictest of moms. She wants everyone, regardless of lifestyle or dietary restrictions, to be able to enjoy sweet treats and feel good about it! For many families who have children with strict dietary restrictions, it can be a real struggle to find indulgences for their kids. Every kid deserves a cookie and Pari’ is passionate about bringing life’s sweet pleasures to all!
This mom of 2, with plans for a 3rd in the near future, is an inspiration to all by taking the reins of her career and using her passion for healthy living bring joy to others! As more and more people adopt these lifestyles and pay attention to how they fuel their bodies, I know Pari’ and GuiltFree Goodies has a very bright future!
