| - I have finally eaten enough menu items that I can write a decent review!
I have tried the following and will order them all again: Spicy Apricot Quinoa, Zucchini Lasagna, Chicken Chimichurri Wrap, and the Loaded Oatmeal Cookie.
The first time I tried their food was at the CMYE: Reverse Spring Break At Campus Commons. I knew, from this event, that I was going to be eating much more of this healthy & delicious food.
I have promised myself that I will order something different, next time I make it to the Campus Commons food court, but the Spicy Apricot Quinoa calls to me. I already miss it; like an old friend. It is a blend of spice, sweet, light aromatics, and properly cooked quinoa. I once said,"I could have eaten buckets." As of now, I think I have!
The Zucchini Lasagna (w/ red wine marinara) was such a great take on traditional lasagna, I didn't even miss the pasta. The cheese, veggies (zucchini, roasted red peppers, spinach, & mushrooms), and sauce were done so well with nothing being over-powering. I may try it again with meat sauce, but I am not sure, because it seems self-defeating in a veggie dish.
The newest item I tried was the Chicken Chimichurri Wrap. Very straight forward and tasty. The sauce is a mixture of a spicy red sauce & chimichurri. Fair warning to those sensitive to heat: this item is fairlyy hot (5/6 out of 10 on my random heat scale). Though I liked it and it was tasty, it was a 3 ingredient dish, chicken, wrap, & sauce. It was served with a few little, whole pickles on the side. I think the flavor of the pickles actually masked the flavor of the wrap, so I didn't eat them all.
Lastly, the loaded oatmeal cookie and loaded it is! Chocolate, cherries, coconut, & seeds fortify the standard oatmeal. There's lots going on in this cookie and one of the best cookies I have had lately.
The speed of food isn't supremely quick, but I don't have a problem because of the high food quality. My last order took nearly 10 minutes; the chicken wrap & quinoa. Prices are reasonable, but not exactly cheap. For me, the bottom line is flavor & the healthiness of the food. If this is eating healthy, then why can't everyone else do it this well?!?
