November at Love Drive Bakery: Gratitude, Porch Pickups, and the Art of Focaccia

November always brings a shift — shorter days, fuller hearts, and ovens that don’t get a break. At Love Drive Bakery, this month is about baking with intention: simple menus, meaningful moments, and flavors that feel like home.

We’ve got a full lineup of porch pickups and community bakes, each one crafted for connection. Here’s what November looks like around here.

November porch pickup featuring Thanksgiving focaccia and seasonal breads

Veterans Day Porch Pickup | Tuesday, November 11 | 12–4 PM

Every November, I bake to honor my transition from uniform to apron. As a three-time combat veteran, this day reminds me how much peace I’ve found in the kitchen.

The Veterans Day Tasting Box is my way of saying thank you — filled with small-batch cookies baked with gratitude. You can preorder, gift, or grab one for someone who needs a little sweetness this week.

Sunday Porch Pickup | November 16 | 12–4 PM

Our mid-month porch pickups keep the rhythm steady: classic cookies, seasonal flavors, and a slower way to spend your Sunday.

It’s a chance to taste what’s new or restock your freezer stash before the holiday rush hits.

Thanksgiving Porch Pickup | Wednesday, November 26 | 12–4 PM

This one’s special. Five years ago, I started baking focaccia as my own untraditional Thanksgiving ritual. What began as a side dish turned into a love story with olive oil, patience, and creativity.

This year, I want to bake it for you.

Savory

- Caramelized Onion, Thyme & Gruyère

- Roasted Garlic, Mushroom & Sage

Sweet

- Honeyed Fig, Rosemary & Sea Salt

- Apple, Brown Butter & Maple Pecan

These focaccias bring a fresh twist to the traditional holiday table and showcase the bakery’s skill and care. This Thanksgiving focaccia is a highlight of the Love Drive Bakery November menu and a must-try for anyone looking to add something special to their feast.

Last Chance for the Fall Cookie Menu

Before the season shifts fully into winter, the bakery offers a final opportunity to enjoy the fall cookie lineup. Preorders open November 19 and will close once sold out.

The fall cookies include:

• Sourdough Toffee Pecan

• Sourdough Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Pie

• Ginger Spice (gluten- and dairy-free)

  
  

Looking Ahead to December

December will bring a few surprises — think cookie boxes, gift orders, and local pop-ups. If you want first access, join my SMS list or email newsletter. That’s where I share preorder links, discount codes, and behind-the-scenes stories that don’t make it to social media.
