Quiches
Whisk Mom away to the charming cafes of Paris with a savory quiche that's as elegant as it is satisfying. Encased in a buttery pastry crust, these delights are filled with a medley of flavorful ingredients, from tender spinach and creamy feta to savory mushrooms and nutty gruyere. Serve warm for a cozy brunch or a leisurely lunch, accompanied by a crisp green salad.
Pies
Wrap Mom in a blanket of comfort with a savory pie that's sure to warm her heart. If you prefer, you can choose one of my favorite sweet pies. I'm crazy about my blackberry pie (my favorite, after coconut cream). Key lime is another fan favorite. No matter which one you choose, mom will be blessed (and so will you).

Treat Mom to a taste of indulgence with savory stuffed breads that are perfect for sharing. Whether twisted into savory breadsticks, rolled into decadent pinwheels, or delicious homemade cinnamon bread, these delights are filled with an array of delicious fillings, from tangy feta and spinach to savory sausage and cheese. Serve as an appetizer, snack, or accompaniment to your favorite soup or salad. Mom will love our simple sourdough bread, and our quick and easy focaccia.
