Maximum Zen Bakery

Happy Sunday Everyone, and welcome November.
I just wanted to give you all a heads-up about my hours this week. I am doing a very large catering event for Geisinger Medical College this week, which will be taking up most of my time.
In my work with food, I honestly believe in cooking from a place of joy, love, creativity and thoughtfulness, and in order to do this, I have decided to close for Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday's hours, this week. I will be at Maximum Zen working, so the lights will be on, but I will not be able to make any regular food, or fill orders.
I will be open for Endless Roots Farm CSA pick up, for the usual hours, but will have no counter service available. I apologize if this inconveniences any plans, as I love being here, and sharing food and conversation with you all, but I am learning to prioritize my mental and physical health, in order to make food filled with love.
I will be open once again for my regular hours Friday and Saturday, and as always, I truly appreciate all your support and love.
thank you from the bottom of my heart, Donna

Happy Halloween week to you all, and to start this week off strong and fabulous.....guess what is back on the menu.....Spicy Collard Greens Reubens, yes, I know it is early this year, but the amazing folk at Endless Roots Farm have started harvesting the most incredible and delicious collards, and so they are here. This batch is extra spicy, as I am really excited for them, and I do love spicy. It is 3 slices toasted wholewheat bread, melted cheese, Russian dressing, coleslaw and of course, hot and delicious collards.
Another groovy new addition is a Vegan Speidie. My daughter adores Speidies, that herbed and garlic local specialty, and i wanted to make some, so I have used soy curls in place of the chicken, and am serving them warm on a kaiser roll, with greens and sprouts.
I also have plenty of fresh, local and delicious treats, sweets and drinks.
