Avocado Toast
Chip actually hates this trendy toast! He even put a poll on the restaurant’s sign that said “Avocado toast? Honk once for yes, twice for no.” It’s on the Magnolia Table menu, so Joanna must’ve won out.

Apple Cider Doughnuts
Apple doughnuts remind me of family trips to South Dakota. We’d stop at Wall Drug for a dozen or so before camping in the Badlands. Maple glaze was and still is my favorite. Share a batch with friends and family who appreciate a hot, fresh apple cider doughnut. —Melissa Hansen, Milwaukee, Wisconsin(Like mother, like daughter–see what Ella and Joanna have in common.)

Lemon is Jo’s favorite flavor. Since she loves to bake, she incorporates the citrusy fruit in a lot of her goodies from Silos Baking Co., like lemon poppy seed bread that’s served as part of a fresh bread basket. You can easily follow in her footsteps!
