We are approaching vacation times at Hävenly baked goods. During the next week and a half, we will operate with reduced staff and will not offer our usual pick-up at the bakery until Friday, August 12. Please do come to see us at the Boulder Farmers Market on July 30 and August 6 as usual. As I think of days jumping from cliffs into salty water, hour-long sunsets, and nights that never get really dark, one song comes into mind for me and most Swedes, namely the band Gyllene Tider's "Sommartider" (summer times). I hope you'll enjoy it!

Night Out for Ukraine - July 7
Mark your calendars for July 7 and visit one of these amazing restaurants (including Leaf Vegetarian Restaurant and South Street Market) that will donate part of their sales to Sunflower Seeds Ukraine. Sunflower Seeds Ukraine is an all-volunteer aid organization founded by two Ukrainian immigrants in Boulder. Recently showcased on Colorado Matters on CPR, they specialize in medical aid and protective gear (never weapons) for Ukrainian defenders. Their success in getting supplies quickly and efficiently to the front lines comes from their deep, direct contact with everyone along the route: from purchasing, to transport, to delivery and usage. Combining a small, no-overhead operation with signature Boulder brainpower and commitment to social justice is their goal. Help support them in a fun night out with great restaurants in Boulder, Lafayette, Longmont, Louisville, Nederland, Superior, Denver, Estes Park, Fort Collins, Colorado Springs, Kansas City, and more!

Tomato Basil Bruschetta Recipe
Tomatoes are ripe and delicious and this is the perfect time for an easy summer meal!
Ingredients (4 servings)
4-7 ripe tomatoes (the best you can find!)
a handful of fresh basil leaves
1-2 garlic cloves
1/4 white onion (optional)
your favorite thick balsamic vinegar (mine is Napa Valley Grand Reserva)
olive oil
Hävenly's Rustic bread (either toasted or grilled)
Instructions
1. Cut tomatoes into small pieces. Add salt and pepper to taste. Drain excess juice.
2. Cut white onion into fine pieces. Add to tomatoes. This step is optional.
2. Cut basil leaves and add to tomatoes together with some olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
3. Toast your Hävenly Rustic bread until crispy then brush with olive oil (alternatively brush both sides with olive oil and toast in the oven at 450F, or grill if you prefer a smoky flavor).
4. Serve promptly! You can make the tomato mixture up to two days in advance, but you don't want to assemble your bruschetta until you are ready to sit and eat. Drizzle your favorite thick balsamic vinegar over.
ENJOY!

We are so excited to partner with Sun Market Grocery in Denver!
A few weeks ago Andrea Leo tried Hävenly's baked goods at the Boulder Farmers Market, and she invited us to see her local grocery store in the Whittier neighborhood of Denver. We fell in love! Such a warm and welcoming store and we are so excited that they now carry Hävenly's bread and bake-at-home bread mixes.
During Covid quarantine, Andrea wished there was a place nearby to grab fresh groceries and essentials at fair and affordable prices, but the options were few. She started to envision a community market in a safe welcoming shopping environment, and by chance, the perfect space became available. In 2021 Andrea opened Sun Market Grocery!
Sun Market Grocery reminds me of the small grocery store my mom had when I grew up in Sweden, where we greeted our customers by name with a smile. Just like I helped my mom from an early age, you will often find Andrea's children Ava and Ben behind the counter of Sun Market Grocery or helping stock an inventory of fresh local goods, hard-to-find items, and classic comfort snacks. Sun Market has a little bit of everything, and most importantly you'll feel right at home.
2201 Lafayette St, Denver, CO 80205.
Open Monday - Saturday 10.30 am - 7:00 pm
Sunday: 10.30 am – 6 pm

Not only is it easy to make, but it is also super healthy and delicious, and vegan. Low carb and filled with protein and vitamins! All you need is a food processor and a few simple ingredients. This cake is fabulous for any surprise celebrations because you can make it ahead of time and keep it in the refrigerator or freezer. See the recipe below and let us know what you think!

Easter and Passover are here and we pray for peace and are extra grateful to be living in freedom and safety with our family. Earth Day is approaching as well, and thanks to our daughter Adelia we are making vegetarian dishes for this weekend. Growing up, I loved my mom's chopped liver and was searching for a vegetarian version. Toria Vai shared her aunt Beth's vegetarian chopped liver recipe, which we in turn have modified a bit. Sharing our version below plus our all-time favorite sweet potato recipe. A nice twist to your sweet potato dish with smoked paprika, mint, and pistachios! Perfect for Easter and Passover.

Shredded Sweet Potatoes with a nice twist!
- original recipe and photo by Sara Moulton, The Associated Press, published on February 28, 2018 -
Serves 6-8
Ingredients
½ cup finely chopped onion
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and coarsely shredded, preferably using the grating disk of a food processor
Kosher salt
1-2 teaspoon smoked paprika (we like adding some hot smoked paprika as well)
1 cup toasted chopped pistachios
1 cup chopped dried dates (we used less as we don't like it too sweet. You can also omit the dates)
1½ - 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons shredded fresh mint (you can substitute with basil or cilantro)
Directions
In a large skillet, cook the onion in the oil over medium heat, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the sweet potatoes and a hefty pinch of salt, increase the heat to medium-high, cover, and cook, stirring, occasionally, until the potato is tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the paprika, pistachios, dates, lemon juice and mint; add salt to taste.
ENJOY!
