JUST LIKE GRANDMA USED TO BAKE
Strawberry Rhubarb Oatmeal Bars
oats | cinnamon | brown sugar | strawberry rhubarb | oatmeal sugar crumble
These tasty little bars will be here all week! That oatmeal cinnamon cookie crust is TO DIE FOR and then the refreshing tart strawberries and rhubarb - so fresh and so clean clean.
I just pulled one from the counter so I could try it again - LOVE. I’m sharing it with Jenny. She just said “Oh yeah. I like that a lot.”

“Hey Gina — can you describe the special sandwich that you just ate?”
“Ohhhh soooo savory. It’s just one of those sandwiches that give you life, ya know? It’s simple. It’s like… sometimes the more simple things are, the better.” - Gina, MGB 2025
Speaking of simple things — Have you tried our Vanilla Bean Cheesecake?
So simple, but I promise, it COULD change your life.
LAST NIGHT
we had a staff meeting.
Pizza
Salad
Popcorn
Jeopardy
I’m incredibly grateful for THIS CREW. To be able to get a solid handful of employees together at once on a Monday night ain’t easy - but we did it! Here was the agenda :
MGB had a Spring Wellness Challenge and we handed out some prizes to the top 3 winners! Someone was lucky and got a full Summer CSA share from Whitefeather Organics - SAWEET.
I did a little presentation with some updates as well as ALLLL the things this business has accomplished so far in 2025. It’s important to reflect & celebrate. Lots of behind the scenes work to make this bakery & eatery run smoothly!
Michael reminded everyone of our business values and our WHY behind MGB! I’m excited to share those with you in the next Substack. It’s important to dive deep into WHY you spend hours and hours of your life doing something specific. Always going back to those values..
We played Jeopardy! Most of it was bakery/eatery related, so that’s always a hoot. The final jeopardy question was the brand of our new vacuum cleaner and you must know how to spell it - Ha!

It’s pretty amazing - this team. Every morning I come in — the door is open, the lights are on, the baked goods are set up, customers are in line, and everyone is movin’ and groovin’ and I couldn’t be more proud of our staff. MGB crew — if you’re reading this….. you are so appreciated.
NOW LET’S TALK THESE CANDLES.
OMG - THEY HAVE ARRIVED!
Put these on the next cake you bake (or purchase) and your guests will be blown away. Seriously - it’s tooooo much I can’t handle it. I guess you don’t have to put them on a cake — you could also just have them as a little centerpiece at your next fancy dinner party.
A 10 count of tiny raspberry candles in the perfect little cardboard produce carton. I’m obsessed. Just don’t eat them…
Check out our behind the scenes Instagram stories of me taking photos of these - ha!
“Candles inspired by a family’s legacy in farming and beekeeping. These beautiful candles emit the sweet, natural aroma of pure beeswax”
- made in the USA.
Yay Jeopardy! :-)
