Welcome to and bread!

and bread is the result of a childhood dream. I always hoped to one day own my own restaurant or bakery. My husband and I sometimes contemplate what life would be like if that dream were to ever become a reality. One day he semi-jokingly told me that he would like to open a sandwich shop (his love for sandwiches is surpassed by none) and call it “Meat and Cheese.” I quickly remarked that I would open a bakery next to “Meat and Cheese” and call it “and bread.” As for now these physical establishments remain dreams, but and bread now has roots.
