Team Lunch at Blue Bird Bistro

We had a team lunch at Blue Bird Bistro, an organic and all-natural restaurant in a quaint little part of town. We were all extremely hungry and ready to try all the delicious meals on their menu. Among the group, we all ordered different items, with two people who decided to split their sandwiches to try even more. 

It was a wonderful and healthy lunch. We all not only enjoyed the food but also the company. The pizza overall seemed to be the best, with the bison burger at a close second.

Restaurant Review - Cafe Gratitude

Today us AM ladies (Kara, Megan, Hannah, Jennifer and I) set out to try a nearby vegan restaurant - Cafe Gratitude. Its an organic vegan restaurant that has all kinds of good healthy foods, with raw and gluten free offerings.

We were definitely a little skeptical going in - none of us are vegans - and we were a little surprised to find that the menu items were named things like "I am greatful, or I am warm hearted." But, quite a few things on the menu looked good and I think we were all pleasantly surprised!

Hannah ordered us a hummus appetizer, that had homemade crackers made out of flax seeds, carrot...and I'm sure lots of other healthy stuff. Personally, I liked the crackers but some other parties didn't quite enjoy them as much :)

For my entree I ordered one of their specials - spaghetti squash with flax seed pesto, polenta cakes (i think), cashew cheese, with fresh herbs and veggies. It was really good! Good flavor and definitely warm and hearty. I was surprised how filling it was since I was expecting to leave still hungry.

My entree - "I am warm hearted" - Spaghetti Squash, flax seed pesto, cashew cheese, polenta cakes - it was good! 

Bottom line - definitely worth a try! I would go back to try some of their other menu items. They have breakfast, as well as all kinds of juices and vegan milkshakes. Lots of good veggies + unique nutritious ingredients here!
