Butter is dairy.
Dairy is good for your bones.
Soooo...cookies are good for you.
Yeah, let's go with that.

Do you like nuts in your cookies? My kids and husband are team "no nuts under any circumstances." I could go either way, but since I'm outvoted, I tend to go without them ( )

Just finished baking a special order for a customer outside of the usual baking day. If you need something special, let me know! I can usually accommodate.

Hi Bread Friends! 🍞 I’m back!

After taking July off for some summer adventures, I’m finally firing up the ovens again! I still have one more trip later this month to take my son to college, so August will be a bit of a soft reopening:

🍞 Friday, August 14: Limited bake day — breads, bagels & crackers only
🍪 Starting August 27: Regular baking resumes, including all your sweet favorites!

Ordering is OPEN now for the 14th:

One more important update! 📱

My ordering system now has its own text messaging, so if you'd like to get a personal weekly "ordering is open" reminder, please go to the website above, click Subscribe, and make sure you opt in for TEXT MESSAGES. (I don’t send emails, so the text box is the important one!)

Looking forward to baking for you again! 🍞

Hi Bread Friends! 🍞

I’m only baking Friday this week, and orders are open now for sourdough, challah, bagels, cookies, crackers, and banana bread.

The banana bread coupon code is still active! Use code BANANA2 for $2 off one loaf of banana bread — plain, chocolate chip, or walnut. 🍌

Order here: https://bakebug.com/b/bready-or-not

Also, quick heads-up: I’ll be closed after July 4th for the entire month and will resume baking on August 7th because of various planned summer shenanigans. Bread and cookies freeze really well, so now is a good time to grab a little extra before the break!

The next two weeks will probably be open, but I may sneak off to the mountains if the opportunity arises — just keeping you posted. 😊

Orders are open for Thursday and Friday this week (11th and 12th)!

Also… SOURDOUGH BANANA BREAD IS HERE! 🍌

Made with the same long, overnight fermentation as my sourdough breads and bagels, these sourdough banana bread mini loaves have just the right amount of sweetness and come in three varieties:
• Plain
• Chocolate Chip
• Walnut

I was so excited about figuring it out last week that I forgot to take product photos of my test loaves. 🤦‍♀️ So for now, you’ll have to settle for the Canva graphic and take my word for it that it exists and it is delicious.

To celebrate the launch, use coupon code BANANA2 for $2 off any banana bread through June 19th. That brings the plain banana bread down to just $5.

As always, thank you for supporting my little bakery. 🤎

Hey carb fan fam!

This is your weekly reminder to eat more carbs. 🍞🍞🍞

Orders are open on the website for Thursday and Friday for sourdough, challah, bagels, cookies, and crackers.

If you’d like cookies or crackers for Wednesday, I can do that too — just message me, as that day is not open on the site.

Sorry for the late notice — I was trying to figure out pickups while we were in the evacuation zone. But now that Garden Grove is apparently not going to explode anymore… back to bread. 😅

This week has a quick turnaround, so please order as soon as possible if you’d like anything. I’m traveling for work Thursday evening/Friday, but my son will be here to hand off Thursday orders.

WEDNESDAY: 3 sourdough loaves available!

THURSDAY: Unsliced bread only, plus challah, cookies, or crackers. When ordering on the website, please do not choose the slicing option for Thursday orders — I won’t be able to slice that day.

No Friday orders this week, and no bagels.
