The holidays can be stressful, but dinner doesn’t have to be! Let BF Mazzeo take some of those errands off your plate, and replace them with some of the best, fresh, and tasty prepared foods for dinner. “We do everything but the turkey,” says Jenna Russo, baker and chef at BF Mazzeo. Before clocking out for the day, Russo added some last minute treats to the Mazzeo chill case. The assortment of baked goods like cookies, breads, and gift baskets seems to be never ending along with a delicious assortment of pies with flavors like key lime, pumpkin, and my personal favorite ricotta with chocolate chips.
Appetizers, sides, and desserts can all be ordered and ready to go just in time for your holiday dinner. Quiches and stuffed breads are just a couple of items on the menu for your holiday spread. Russo urges people to get their orders in early, but last minute orders can be placed with a minimum of 48 hours in advance. “If there’s something you want, but you don’t see it on the menu, just ask me,” says Russo, “I might be able to take care of it.” All the food at BF Mazzeo’s is homemade from the best and fresh ingredients you see in store.
The store is in the holiday spirit! As you walk up to the store you see the vast variety of pumpkins. Upon the doors opening, you are greeted with vibrant local produce from wall to wall. The smell of orange cranberry bread and apple cider donut cake fills the air.
Looking for a quick lunch? BF Mazzeo now has more seasonal favorites! Homemade chicken pot pie overflowing with fresh veggies, soups, stews, and chili are stocked and ready to go. Last minute lunches like Turkey Meatloaf are stocked in the cooling fridge next to the freshly squeezed juices and packed colorful salads. “I am still having fun and creating new dishes seasonally,” says Russo as she looks for the perfect apples to add to her next pie.
