Trying to get kids up, cleaned, dressed, and out the door on time is not easy. By the time you finish breakfast, you may not have the time or energy to prepare lunch. Luckily, preparing a nutritious lunch only takes a few minutes. For example, consider packing a brown bag lunch with a sandwich and a side dish. You can stack...

Of course, we're talking about delicious snacks such as hotdogs, peanuts, and crackerjacks (just like the song says)!

And besides, grills have the ability to mimic that wood-fired oven taste more than your conventional indoor oven can do. We’re happy to share how with you how... By Bree Cellone May 5, 2021 LET THE COOKOUTS BEGIN! The weather is finally warming up, and we hope it stays that way. It’s time to spend more time outside being active, enjoying the sun, going on picnics, and one of our favorite activities—grilling! We believe that any nice day is a great day to fire up the grill, but in case you need an excuse, there are multiple holidays in May that call for a celebratory cookout. Did you know that May 16th is National... By Bree Cellone April 16, 2021 WHAT IS HEARTH BREAD? Popularized in Old World Europe, hearth bread uses traditional baking methods to produce a delicious, yet unique loaf of bread each time. At Cellone’s, we make both hearth baked bread and pan baked bread. Gary Cellone, partner at Cellone’s Bakery, describes the difference as this: “authentic hearth baked bread is baked on the hearth of the oven with no pan, which gives it an irregular shape, while pan bread is made in a pan.” Since...

From the heartiness of the bread, to the protein and delicious toppings in-between, it’s no wonder why sandwiches are one of the most popular lunch choices today. It’s hard to imagine a life without sandwiches, but their popularity wasn’t always so present. According to history, the sandwich we know and love today was created in 1762 in England. Most food historians agree that the... By Bree Cellone October 22, 2019 WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF BUYING LOCAL? Over the last 10 years, national and international companies have taken over many local and regional bakeries. Not us, Cellone’s Bread Co. remains family owned and operated in Southwestern Pennsylvania. So, what are the benefits of buying local?

When you buy local, your money stays local, and it strengthens the local economy and community in significant ways. Buying local...
