Constructor's Note
Part of this midi contest puzzle is a 'rebus'. The squares that are highlighted need more than one letter in them, you can do that by entering rebus mode (esc on a computer, or the three dots on your phone).

        Great puzzle! With 14A and 38A though, I have to say my favorite is pumpkin chocolate chip bread. 😋
