This Week’s Menu and Thoughts

Merry Christmas! Happy Hanukkah!

Just in time for the holidays, our Texas Pecan Pie and Mile High Apple Pie are back! These mouthwatering 9” pies are a great addition to any holiday meal or gathering. We’ll only have them through New Year’s and then they’ll vanish until next November! Read on for our full holiday menu, full of items large and small to enjoy with friends and family this season.

If you’re looking for a holiday gift or a lovely addition to your spread, try one of our festively wrapped Stollen! We have the classic German Holiday Stollen, filled with brandied cherries, blueberries, figs and apricots, as well as almonds and a chunk of almond Marzipan running through the middle. And our Swiss Stollen is a chocolate-hazelnut twist on the German classic! Chock-full of hazelnuts, chocolate chunks, candied orange, and chocolate hazelnut paste.

If you love chocolate, you should also try our Chocolate Cherry Bread. This decadent bread is filled with dark chocolate chunks and juicy cherries. This grown-up treat is not-too-sweet and pairs beautifully with brie or jam. It also makes a terrific French Toast! Or for a smaller treat, we have Chocolate Ganache Brioche!

If you’re looking for a Hanukkah treat, we have gluten-free Coconut Chocolate Macaroons and our beautifully hand-painted snowflake cookies. Or for a little stocking stuffer, we have Pecan Pie Shortbread Bars and hand-painted Gingerbread people. And our Real Gingerbread Cake topped with candied ginger tastes just Christmas. You don’t want to miss it.

And if you’re looking for something savory, our Focaccia of the Day is topped with Artichoke Hearts, Kalamata Olives, and Parmesan. While I don’t know if we’ll have a white Christmas, all of our Sourdough Miche are dusted with Snowflakes on top! Last, but not least, our Soft Dinner Rolls are a great addition to any meal; and they’re buttery tasting yet vegan so all can enjoy!

Thank you to all who joined us at Christmas Bread & Brews at Lost Generation Brewing last Tuesday! We had a blast sharing our love of Stollen, and we were able to raise about $300 for The h3 Project AND many bags of coats and blankets to help the homeless population in DC.

You can find us at all of our regular markets this week, including Dupont Circle Farmers Market, which we attend every other week. This is the last week of the season for the Adams Morgan Farmers Market; we hope to see you there! And on Tuesday, you can wrap up any holiday shopping at Eastern Market - we’ll be there from 12-4pm
