Something sweet is happening on Villager Eats!
I’m excited to introduce our newest Local Business Spotlight, featuring Red Rooster Cookie Jar Bakery in Lady Lake! I recently had the pleasure of meeting owner Yvonne and learning more about the passion behind her bakery. From scratch-made cookies and fresh-baked breads to cheesecakes, pies, and other delicious goodies, there’s a whole lot more than cookies coming out of this little bakery!
And with the holidays approaching, it’s a great time to discover a local business that can help with your holiday dessert plans. I’ve put together a special feature sharing more about Yvonne, her bakery, and what makes Red Rooster Cookie Jar unique.
Thanksgiving is less than two weeks away, and I’m continuing to add new restaurant announcements, holiday menus, and meals-to-go options to the Thanksgiving 2026 Dining Guide.
