As we race toward Thanksgiving, I know we're all feeling that mix of excitement and mounting holiday stress. Planning the perfect holiday meal is a huge task, and the one thing I try to avoid every year is spending the entire day locked in the kitchen, exhausted before the meal even starts.

This year, I'm cutting out the chaos entirely, and I'm sharing my absolute best time-saving secret with you: Let the experts handle the baking!

My Ultimate Thanksgiving Prep Hack: HBC Bakery + Market

I am a huge believer in supporting local businesses, and my go-to for making the holiday meal manageable is HBC Bakery + Market. By utilizing their Thanksgiving pre-order menu, I can guarantee a spectacular, homemade-quality meal on my table without sacrificing precious hours of family time.

Think about it: instead of stressing over whether your pie crust is perfectly flaky or your rolls are proofed just right, you could be relaxing, sipping your coffee (like this amazing Iced Eggnog Latte!), and enjoying the morning. That’s the true spirit of the holidays!

Why Pre-Order? Let's Talk Menu!

HBC has made it so easy to get all the essentials you need for a complete feast—minus the labor. This is what you can find on their pre-order list:

• Show-Stopping Pies: Their Salted Caramel Apple Pie is famous, and you can also grab the classic Pumpkin Pie, Mom's Apple Crumb Pie, or a unique Local Apple Cranberry Crostata.

• Festive Cakes: Perfect for a modern dessert, check out the Pumpkin Chai Cake or the festive Cranberry Spice Cake with lemon glaze.

• Essential Breads & Rolls: Don't forget the carbs! Grab their Sweet Potato Brioche Rolls, Parkerhouse Pull Apart Rolls, Cranberry Pecan Bread, or Artisan Stuffing Bread.
