March 8th was International Women's Day and we wanted to take time to shine a spotlight on a couple of the amazing women in our family. We're started with Blair's partner, Jenny, last week and now we're sharing Janet's story. Janet is the matriarch of the Muzzolini family. She's knows kung fu and how to handle a sword, so don't mess with her!

March 8th is International Women's Day and we wanted to take time to shine a spotlight on a couple of the amazing women in our family. We're starting with Blair's partner, Jenny, and next week we will share Janet's story. Jenny is a nurse, a mother, an amazing chef, and an all around kick-ass lady!

We're still riding high from our last pizza party, Big Night for Pizza Lovers! We wanted to make sure we shared Tracey's thoughts about the event and include some pictures of all the fun we had! We'll be announcing our next event soon, so make sure to stay tuned...

On Monday, Leisha Grebinski from CBC Radio came to the bakery record and broadcast her Saskatoon Morning show! It was a joy to have her and the crew in the bakery. We talked about the joy of baking and, of course, shared some croissants!

We've been busy getting ready for our Big Night Pizza Lovers party, and so have Kathryn and Bret from the Cheese List. They'll be serving up some cheeses alongside us, so we did a little Q & A so you could get to know them a little bit! 

When the calendar rolls around to January and a new year, I look forward to mapping out the next year of my life.

What are my new goals?
What are my plans for fun and fulfillment
What changes are on the way?

What a year it has been! When I take a moment to look back and recognize the accomplishments of 2...

Tracey has a little holiday message to share with you!

Shopping during the holiday season can be stressful. Getting your Christmas baking is no different. To help make it simpler, here's everything we'll be baking this holiday season! To make it even easier, you can even get your order delivered to your front door!  

Our Sweet Goodness partner for November is Hope Restored Canada! We wanted to give them an opportunity to share a little about themselves. For more information, you can head to their website to learn more!

Who can say “no” to a second slice of pizza? Not us! That’s why we’re back with Part Two of our History of Neapolitan Pizza.

We have a wonderful team of human beings and wanted to help you get to know them more!

There isn't a loaf of bread or a pastry that these two haven't seen. As our baking leads, Bonnie is the one who designs all our amazing cookies and Conrad is in charge of making sure the bread looks and tastes amazing!

Pizza is pizza, right? Nope. Especially if you ask the Associazione Vera Pizza Napoletana (more on them later). As much as pizza can vary simply by the variety of toppings, there are actually dozens of styles and variations of pizza all over the globe. But among food purists, culinary historians and proud Italians, Neapolitan Pizza is the king. Well, the queen actually... we’ll get to that too. 

 

We have an amazing team of human beings and wanted to help you get to know them more!

If you've visited our Mayfair location, you know Chelsea and Chloe! These two gals are a dose of sunshine and always make our days brighter. We’re lucky to have them on our team!

Let’s be real for a moment. Turkey is great and all, but what we get most excited about at Thanksgiving dinner is the sides! Fluffy, buttery mashed potatoes. Crispy, seared Brussels sprouts. Creamy mac and cheese. And, of course, stuffing! It often gets overlooked, but really good stuffing can get people talking and our recipe for sourdough stuffing just might steal the show at your next family get-together. 

Bread baking is a beautiful art that requires a lot of hard work, training and patience to perfect. We thought it would be fun to have Tracey drop some knowledge about the ins and outs of baking every once in a while! This week she talked about scoring!

We have an amazing team of human beings and wanted to help you get to know them more! We're starting with two of our managers, Kathy and Zarish. Read on to get to know the people that bring you the best baking in the city!

Our Sweet Goodness partner is Foundations Learning & Skills Saskatchewan! We wanted to give them an opportunity to share a little about themselves. For more information, you can head to their website to learn more!

It’s hard to beat the satisfying nostalgia of a good peanut butter and jam sandwich, but we think this sandwich hits the nostalgia vibes even harder…

Hands up if your kid's favourite subject in school is “lunch.” We’ll be the first to admit that we can relate to this. Not that there’s anything wrong with that! A delicious, nutritious lunch gives your kids something to look forward to and fuels an afternoon of learning. In fact, we think this Pizza Sub recipe using our house-made baguettes is so good that it might even motivate them to spring up out of bed and get ready to catch the bus without a fuss just so they can get to lunchtime sooner.

September is nearly here, and that means we’re in the heat of back to school season. To try and help you get ready for those busy mornings, here is a quick list of easy breakfast ideas to get your day off to a great start!

I received an email asking about our sourdough process and thought it’d be great to share my response to give you another insight into how we make our delicious bread! 

SCYAP is our Sweet Goodness partner for August! They’re one of our neighbors in Mayfair and we wanted to share a little bit about them and the great work that they do!

The dog days of Summer are coming to an end and it’s time to close out the season like a champion...

After nearly a year of living on the west coast, I got to spend two weeks visiting family and friends in Saskatoon. It was great to see so many familiar faces in the city I called home for so many years. When I left last summer, my girlfriend and I created a bucket list of restaurants we wanted to go to when we were back in the city of bridges. We didn’t make it to all of them, but we did eat some fantastic food that you need to try on your next night out!

During our 90th birthday celebration, we were able to talk to so many friends from nearly a century of baking. One of our former employees, Reba, offered to share some thoughts on her time working with us! From baking to making pizzas to delivering bread, she did it all. It was great to see you Reba, and thanks for sharing with us!

Keeping it simple is what Summer should be about! Have you ever gone on a Summer holiday and plan...

Our Sweet Goodness partner for July is STR8UP Saskatoon. They assist individuals in mastering their own destiny and liberating themselves from gangs, addictions, and criminal street lifestyles. 

We wanted to give them an opportunity to raise awareness about any of their different programs, and they asked to talk about their Transitional Housing, Little Steps.

We received a letter from David Cross, who used to be the principal at Mayfair School. We have always tried to give back to the community, and he reminded us of one of the first ways we did just that! We are proud to continue partnering with local schools and organizations through our Sweet Goodness program.

Thanks for the letter David!

Gabe wasn't able to make it to Saskatoon for our 90th birthday celebration, so he wrote a poem to contribute to the festivities!

Baking obviously runs in the family. Blair and Tracey took over the family business from their parents and have continued the tradition of bringing world class baking to Saskatoon. In honour of Father's Day, Tracey gave a little insight into her father's history with baking. No secret recipes were shared...

Our Sweet Goodness partner for June is OUTSaskatoon, Saskatoon’s 2SLGBTQ+ community centre. We thought it would be great to see if there was anything they’d like to raise awareness about, and they asked to talk about their Trans Care Fund and counselling services. 

Pat Homenick sent us a little story that we wanted to share with you! If you have a story or memory from the last 90 years you’d like to share please email us at stories@christiesbakery.com!

With the final episode of Wall of Bakers approaching, I’ve been able to take some time to reflect on what an amazing experience it was to be a part of the inaugural season of Wall of Bakers on The Food Network Canada.

We have a lovely memory from Deb Parker-Loewen that we wanted to share with you! If you have a st...

Tracey wrote an article for Eat North, documenting the local Saskatoon spots she goes to for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Check it out!

My mother has so many wonderful characteristics, but today I would like to recognize her as an excellent entrepreneur.
