About Outer Aisle Gourmet

We at Outer Aisle Gourmet are pleased to present 4 of America's favorite foods - bread, pizza crust, rice and pasta - recreated with fresh vegetables and other natural products found in the outer aisle of every grocery store.  

Each serving of Outer Aisle's veggie bread, veggie pizza crust, veggie rice and veggie pasta contains one to two full servings of vegetables.  As such, they are all naturally gluten and nut-free and low in carbs, calories and fat.  Eating just one package of each of the four Outer Aisle products will reduce your calorie intake by over 1,500 calories and your carbs by over 360 grams compared to equivalent amounts of traditional whole wheat bread, brown rice and wheat-based pizza crust and spaghetti.
With Outer Aisle, finding gluten-free foods that are also low in carbs is no longer a challenge.

What is truly amazing about Outer Aisle's vegetable-based products is that they taste absolutely delicious.  But don't take our word for it.  One of the main reasons we're doing a Kickstarter campaign is to give as many people as possible a chance to try our veggie products and give us feedback.

Have you taken gluten and/or starches out of your diet?  Are you a Mom looking for delicious "veggies in disguise" for your kids young and old?  Are you following the Paleo, Zone, Mediterranean or DASH diet?  Are you an athlete looking for low-carb, high-power fuel?  Or are you just trying to include more vegetables in your diet?  We believe that once you’ve tried our vegetable-based versions of these American standards, you won’t want to go back to the high-carb originals.

Outer Aisle's products have truly changed our lives for the better.  We sincerely hope they will do the same for you and your family.

Meet Jeanne David

Jeanne David is the Founder, Head of Product Development and President of Outer Aisle Gourmet, LLC. 

Jeanne was born in New Orleans, the second youngest of thirteen children (four sisters and eight brothers).  She had an early love for sports of all kinds, cooking and babysitting her many nieces and nephews.  She started long distance running as a teenager and has never stopped.  Jeanne has run six marathons, and most enjoys running with her close friends.

Being a Mom and raising four wonderful boys has been Jeanne's greatest joy and her greatest achievement.  The boys are now in their twenties and thirties and are all part owners of Outer Aisle Gourmet.

Jeanne is a born entrepreneur and loves creating ideas for new products.  When Jeanne's boys were young, she founded several small businesses, the most successful of which brought a line of gourmet cookies and cookie dough to market in Louisiana.
 
Outer Aisle Gourmet and the Outer Aisle products incorporate many aspects of Jeanne's life that are near and dear to her.  The Outer Aisle veggie bread, veggie pizza crust, veggie rice and veggie pasta have become staples in her family's and her diets and important fuel for their active lifestyles.  Outer Aisle Gourmet was founded by Jeanne and her husband, Dan, and has become a family project with much help and support from their boys.  

With the founding of the company and expansion of production, many of Jeanne's close friends are now also enjoying the benefits of eating the Outer Aisle way.  Jeanne's dream is to initially bring the Outer Aisle products to market locally, and to eventually distribute them nationally.

Jeanne was formerly the Executive Director of the Central Coast branch of the Arthritis Foundation for six year until 2012.  Working with the Arthritis Foundation gave Jeanne a heightened awareness of the important effect of diet on health.  It was during this time that Jeanne and Dan decided to start putting more vegetables and fruits in their diet and minimizing the gluten and carbs they consumed.

Jeanne is also a Founder and President of the Board of Taste of Hope, a local non-profit formed by Jeanne and six close friends to raise funds to support starving and disadvantaged orphans and widows in Mekelle, Ethiopia.  

In addition to running and cooking, Jeanne likes cycling, hiking, skiing, traveling and giving back to the community in whatever way she can.
