She Says: Almonds All Around
Saturday, October 18th, 2008The other day I read that Sabrina (RhodeyGirl) went to the new Great Harvest in Cranston. I had no idea it was coming to Rhode Island, and knew I had to try it out for myself right away. Did you know they give free pieces of bread away? And not in the “Oh, there’s some bread lying on a plate on that table, let me try it.” No, no. They pretty much take your bread sample order and they have out little dips and spreads to use! I tried the High 5 Fiber bread.
It was so delicious! Soft, wheaty goodness. My mom bought a loaf, so I guess the sampling works! She also got this contained of Monastery Creamed Honey in almond flavor. Ingredients: Honey + almond extract. It’s good when it’s soft and a little warm, but it’s very sweet and strong, so you really only need a little tiny bit.
For dinner I wanted to make a stir fry, so I used a bag of Whole Foods Thai Stir Fry vegetables + leftover corn + baked tofu to get started. I wanted to make a new stir fry sauce so I made an Almond Ginger Sauce consisting of:
- Low Sodium Soy Sauce
- Sesame Oil
- Rice Wine Vinegar
- Dijon Mustard
- Ground Ginger
- Red Pepper Flakes
- Almond Butter
