Product review: I love a good healthy granola but don’t often make the time to bake my own. Since it’s the Fall season, thought I’d try Trader Joes Pumpkin Spice Granola. After cutting up a peach and pouring homemade almond milk, I left the bowl for a few minutes to take care of something, by the time I got back to it the granola was mostly soft and mushy. Tuck! Not my favorite as I prefer the crunch of a good firm granola mixture. Probably won’t get this one again.
One of the biggest changes for me around food was reading food labels. As you learn about what is added to food, you’ll realize how there’s a lot of additives, sweeteners, etc. added to our food. I look for as few #ingredients as possible and as natural as possible, of course! I found this yummy granola at Walmart, ironically! Few ingredients, great taste. I added soy milk and peach for a delicious and quick breakfast.
If 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.
The 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.
