 New Items Include Barbecue Pork Tacos and Healthy Wraps

 Woody Creek Bakery & Cafe, known for its made-from-scratch baked goods, announces a new line-up of Spring menu offerings, including savory turnovers, barbecue pork tacos and healthy wraps.

“We are excited to unveil nine new items,” commented Bruce Pelligra, Director of Operations at Woody Creek Bakery & Café. “Whether you are looking for a healthy option, such as a Turkey Avocado Wrap, or a ‘craveable’ barbecue pork taco, we have something for everyone.”

The following scrumptious additions have been added to the company’s menu this Spring: 

  •  Coffee Cake Muffin: A sweet, crumbly coffee cake served as an easy-to-eat muffin.
  • Over-the-top Minis: Our “minis” are made from homemade croissant dough, then hand-rolled with a variety of fillings: Nutella/fruit preserves, almond, banana walnut or cinnamon and sugar.
  •  Chorizo Quiche Turnover: A turnover made with spicy chorizo and rich quiche filling baked inside a flaky pastry.
  • Jalapeno Popper Turnover: This jalapeno popper is served as a savory turnover stuffed with crisp bacon, jalapeno, and cream cheese.  
  • Hummus Wrap: A vegetarian wrap packed with nutrients and Mediterranean flavors. Hummus, spinach, tomato, cucumber, red bell pepper, onions, and feta cheese wrapped in a wheat tortilla.
  • Turkey Balsamic Avocado Wrap: A healthy new spin on a California classic. Turkey, fresh avocado, spinach, tomato, cucumber, and balsamic dressing wrapped in a wheat tortilla.
  • Chicken Fajita Wrap: Roasted chicken strips, onions, bell peppers, pepper jack cheese, jalapenos, and a ranch salsa wrapped in a jalapeno cheddar tortilla and grilled on a Panini press.
  • Barbecue Pork Tacos: Woody Creek’s take on a Denver street food favorite. Tender pulled pork in a mango barbecue sauce and topped with creamy slaw.
  •  Sliders: Soon-to-be famous house- made sandwiches on a freshly baked brioche slider bun.*

Each season, Woody Creek asks its team members for new menu item ideas, which they test in the company’s neighborhood stores to determine fan favorites. The top-selling products become new menu items and staples to the company menu.

“We are known for our famous chocolate chip cookies, free with any entrée purchase, and now, our customers will come to crave these delectable additions to our already expansive offering of entrees and baked goods,” finished Pelligra.

Gear Grab, a community-based consignment event for used sporting equipment, will hold its third event in Denver on Saturday, May 18 and Sunday, May 19 at the parking lots at 901 Bannock St., Denver. A portion of the event’s proceeds will benefit The Salvation Army Denver Adult Rehabilitation Center.

“At Gear Grab, participants can buy and sell lightly used sporting equipment for both kids and adults,” commented Co-Founder Mark Barrow.  “With food, drinks, live music, prizes, and shopping to enjoy, Gear Grab is for all ages and offers all types of sporting gear and clothing.”

Those interested in participating can first register at www.gear-grab.com. Gear drop off times are May 17 from 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. and May 18 from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. Consignors and volunteers get to shop an hour early, beginning at 11:00 am on May 18.  Gear goes on sale to the public from 12:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. on May 18 and from 12:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. on May 19.

“For consignors, this means cold hard cash for your unused gear,” said Co-Founder Aaron Hart. “For shoppers, this means pre-screened, high quality products at a discount. This is not a swap, as there will be a monitored outdoor store where our team manages the sales. Summer is right around the corner, and Spring is the perfect time to stock up on your summer sporting gear at discounted prices!”

A portion of Gear Grab’s proceeds will benefit The Salvation Army Denver Adult Rehabilitation Center.
