Sweet Lizzie’s Bakery

Since returning from my month, long trip to Europe, I’ve been trying to figure out how to keep the adventure alive.

It’s difficult here in Dallas specifically because you don’t have a lot of walkable places. So you have to have intent to go and have an adventure.

So I’ve decided to do just that, have intent.

Sweet Lizzie’s bakery is one of our favorite vendors at the Coppell farmers market. We buy freeze dried fruit from her every week. In doing so we’ve really gotten to know her. A couple weeks ago she had carpal tunnel surgery and was having a hard time having enough product to sell at the market. So I offered my time.

It’s a funny thing about offering your time, help or whatever you wanna call it. People still feel like they’re asking for help which is a very difficult thing to do and I know that from my experience, but I also know when people offer the help they offer it because they want to do it not because they have to. I wasn’t sure if she would call. But she did and I was so glad.

I got to hang out with Lizzie for a couple hours, see her operation and help her get product ready. I stuffed freeze dried food into bags for her and it was lovely to do something different. Just being in a different environment with different people is an adventure.Read more
