She should make small batches and try to sell at the farmers market or if there are a few signature recipes she has maybe she can partner with a local cafe and bakery and get them to feature her baked goods and share in the profits. If that proves successful and she is enjoying it then maybe you want to consider your own brick and mortar location.
Or alternatively she could start a small catering business and do baked goods, coffee and teas for morning meetings.
Ghost/Cloud kitchens is also an option but I don't know if they have one near where you live.
Farmers markets are the avenue I've been pushing more lately. She already tends to make pretty large batches of sauces and whatnot. It seems easy enough to package some of the extra in such a way that we could sell it, or just consume it later.

My wife's friend does all kinds of canning/preserving/pickling and she makes the stuff at home in large batches and when it is ready keeps what the family needs and then sells the rest at farmers market. I don't think she makes a lot of money off of this small enterprise but it is something she enjoys doing, and she makes a bit of extra money.

In no small part, this is driven by my desire to have copious amounts of homemade hummus available at all times.
reply
Isn't hummus ridiculously easy to make anyhow?
reply
Yes, but I eat it very quickly and she doesn't make it very often, so there usually isn't any around.
reply
I smash hummus pretty hard too. I usually end up with some pretty bad gas from all the chickpeas, but it's worth it.

Immense, almost incomprehensible, amounts of garlic. I thought she should call her products "Vampire Killer _________", because massive quantities of garlic is our jam.
