Today was all about repeats.
Take Two #1: Dinner at Moosewood! On Thursday nights, students get 15% off!
Remember when I went with the lovely fella a while ago?? This time I went with some friends.
Sadly, I forgot my fancy camera! It was packed up and ready to go but in my rush out the door I left it behind. I did however have my crappy point and shoot (I really need a new one!).
Started with a delicious salad exactly like last time.
As an entree, I had a delicious Caribbean Pineapple-Peanut Stew: “Sweet potatoes, cabbage, tomato, bell peppers, and fresh pineapple simmered with ginger, lime, chiles, cilantro and peanut butter; served on rice, with jerk tempeh.” Spicy and tangy!
Ohh goodness! Sooooo delicious!
I also had a bite of Rhoda’s Alsatian Cheese Tart (Flaky pie crust baked with a filling of caramelized onions, Fontina, Gruyere and smoked cheddar
cheeses and egg custard; served with apple-celeriac remoulade).
Holy deliciousness! This was amazing! Although I still thought my stew was better 
Take Two #2: Granola Bars!
Here’s my upDATED version:
2 cups oats
20g chia seeds
2 tsp cinnamon
1/5 cup of whole wheat flour
4 Tbsp Toasted Wheat Germ
1 oz dried coconut
5 dates, chopped
1/4 cup agave nectar
1 cup applesauce
Combine all ingredients, bake at 350F for 25 minutes.
They turned out great!!! So excited!!! Here’s the nutrition info for these babies:
Delish! Make these!!
Anyway, I’m pooped and I still have a ton to do!
Thanks for all your tea suggestions! I’ll be looking around for them in stores
Have a great night!!
that caribean stew looks fantastic!!! isn’t it fun to have good meals with friends!? I miss that!
#1: I got a Moosewood cookbook for Christmas and have been DYING to go ever since. Not sure when I’ll ever have a reason to trek up there, but the restaurant alone could be enough reason.
#2: Major granola bar love. Great nutrition stats, too.
I have heard SO much about Moosewoods. I wish we had restaurants like that over here
Those granola bars look awesome! Dates AND coconut? YUM.
Aww I love dinner with friends! Your meal looks so wonderful!!
I have the granola bar bug right now and CAN’T wait until I get to make some again. This weekend. This weekend.. Only a few hours to go.
So jealous that you get to go to Mooosewood! I want to go there so badly…and I’ve been wanting to make some jerk tempeh lately!
Depends on if u love tea hot and cold. You could brew a big pot in the am…then have a cold tea for lunch–then switch back to hot for dindin. Or you could use loose tea, then it would stretch further.
Those bars look like they turned out great!
I never heard of Moosewood. It looks awesome though!! jerk tempeh?
Want!
Isn’t it weird going back to “regular” digital cameras after using fancy ones? They feel so tiny lol.

Like Erin, we also got a Moosewood cookbook for the holidays! I need to try some of their recipes. Your stew looks divine!
I love the new recipe for the bars! What did you use to calculate the nutrition facts?
Traditional Medicinals – Throat Coat! O.m.g. So good. I highly suggest it!
wow those bars look great! thank you for sharing!
