With Thanksgiving just a day away I’ve got food (glorious food!) on the brain. Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays – wedged right in between Halloween and Christmas like the cream in “Milk’s Favorite Cookie” (and mine if we’re being honest), Oreos. Now everyone knows an Oreo is good from start to finish but who doesn’t love the cream best? Thanksgiving is just as sweet – a day about reflecting what we are truly thankful for. No Pinterest costume fails, no endless wish lists or tracking down the “HOTTEST TOY OF THE YEAR!” Just spending time with our family & friends, enjoying good conversation with great company, and… yep, you guessed it, FOOD.

So about that… over the summer we started carrying this amazing little gem– The Jersey Shore Cookbook by Deborah Smith. If ever there was a must-have cookbook, this is it. This culinary page-turner features 50 recipes from all of your favorite Jersey Shore spots from Keyport all the way down to Cape May Point with contributions from well-loved shore town restaurants, bakeries, markets, and more. You can start your morning off with breakfast from The Buttered Biscuit and end with Porta’s Peach Panna Cotta for dessert – there is so much to try and taste!

With holiday soirees quickly filling up the calendar and gifting season sneaking up on us (32 days and counting…) this is the perfect little something for friends near and far. A gift that spans the ages – grab one for your fave girlfriend who you shared summer rentals with down in Belmar (those were the days!) or your aunt down in Beach Haven. Teacher gift, housewarming gift, your-friend-you-don’t-see-as-often-because-she-moved-out-of-Jersey gift…check. check. check. One of our genius staff members (Hi, Chrissy!) even brought this to a Labor Day party and made the Inlet Café’s Key Lime Pie recipe to accompany the cookbook. Now how sweet is that? Pick one up today - it's a guaranteed crowd pleaser! The Jersey Shore Cookbook is available in both store locations - Avon and Atlantic Highlands - and for purchase right here on BungalowRoad.com

And last but not least, on behalf of everyone at Bungalow Road, have a Happy & Heartwarming Thanksgiving. Thanks for shopping with us all year round :)
