November is here, and the frenzied flurry of the holidays is beginning to rear its head. As a gift of gratitude to our readers, we’re rounding up local businesses that are serving up the goods this Thanksgiving to save you time in the kitchen — meaning more time for holiday gift shopping or taking in the lights.
Buy-buy these bakery pies
- Bakery Lorraine is taking pre-orders for four different holiday pie flavors: apple cranberry, dutch apple, whiskey pecan, and roasted pumpkin. Pies are $28 each and available for pickup at each of it’s main storefronts, including the new Boerne location.
- The Bread Box has four holiday pies available for pre-order as well, including a chocolate pecan pie, whiskey pumpkin, apple, and a traditional pumpkin pie.
