Recipe: Eat To Live: Dijon date dressing dip

image

Our first crack at an Eat To Live dressing and we LOVE it!

Serves 4

INGREDIENTS:
1 cup water [we added an extra 2 tablespoons after blending because was too thick to pour]
1/3 cup raw cashew butter or 2/3 cup raw cashews [we used cashew pieces]
4 tablespoons Dr. Fuhrman’s Riesling Raisin Vinegar or balsamic vinegar [we used balsamic vinegar]
2 tablespoons Dr. Fuhrman’s VegiZest or other no-salt seasoning
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
4-6 dates, pitted
1-2 cloves garlic, minced

DIRECTIONS:
Blend all the ingredients in a food processor or high-powered blender until smooth and creamy.

Restaurant Review: Crepe De France – Seattle

crepe1If you want to knock your socks off, head over to Crepe De France in Pikes Market, Seattle. The most amazing crepes!

Jen had a savory Crepe du Jour with mozzarella, ham, and spinach. A dollop of dijon mustard for dipping –  perfection!

Naturally, Klint is interested in the sweeter crepes, so he went for the Crepe Aux Peaches. Filled with vanilla cream and fresh Washington peaches. Topped off with piles of whipped cream. Stop the press! This baby is ah-maze-ing.

Eating in their restaurant is cramped and noisy with many patrons coming and going. We opted to step outside and eat downstairs in a public seating space.

crepe2The wait is a little long, but totally worth it. Go hungry – bon appétit!

Overall: 4/5
Food: 4.5/5
Service: 3/5 Don’t expect them to chit-chat. Busy kitchen and these guys have a groove to their work that doesn’t include entertaining a long line of tourists.
Price: About $13 per crêpe. Totally worth the steep price.
