CHARLOTTE — During the pandemic, chef Mary Jane Wilson set out to create a business centered on using local, farm-fresh ingredients. She started Thoughtful Baking Co. and focused on comfort foods such as pot pies, quiches, and desserts. But Wilson is not baking your average pot pie or quiche. 'I think a lot of people are used to the freezer section of the grocery store, so this is like an elevated version of that, with fresh local ingredients,' she said. 'We make everything from scratch. We incorporate local North Carolina milled flour,' she added.
