CAPPELLO’S @ Heinen’s

When I was last at Heinen’s the Cappello’s line of products included pizza and pastas. You will find their products in the frozen food section. If you find more items please let us know!

Our household sampled the cheese and the pepperoni pizza and the lasagna noodles.

The pizza was super tasty and the crust was crispy! We’ve tried numerous frozen pizza options and have found these to be some of the most acceptable for a quick home meal.

The lasagna noodles were totally extraordinary! We made a vegetarian lasagna as we were having non-meat eating guests for dinner. They loved the pasta and had no idea it was gf. Best of all unlike other lasagna noodles that we need to par-cook or pre-cook these are used as is right out of the box.

Let us know what you find, share ideas on what you make!

RP’s PASTA @ Wholefoods

Over the past month we’ve tried all the items in RP’s pasta line and found them all to be amazing!

You will find them in the cooler with the cheeses, sauces and fresh pastas!

We used the tortellini served up in our bowls from a pot of chicken vegetable soup. I would not add the pasta to the soup directly since it will overcook. Because these pastas are not dried or frozen they cook up quickly, – under 5 minutes. Cook the pasta, add it to your bowl, top with your soup or sauce.

We tried the pastas with traditional pesto and artichoke lemon pesto both were perfect.

CEREAL @ Heinen’s

These items found recently on the shelf at Heinen’s! Organic and Gluten free!

Look for the labels on the upper left corner of the box.

The frosted flakes are a bit too sweet for my taste but mixing the frosted corn flakes with the unfrosted corn flakes – 1:1 – was the perfect combination.

If you give them a try let us know what you like best or what does not work.

Check out the Cafe

With a commitment to healthy dishes, artisanal beverages, locally roasted coffee, locally sourced teas, locally baked breads and pastries, local procured dairy and produce sourced locally whenever possible!

Stopped at the Cafe today to grab a smoothie, many on the menu to pick from, along with a ‘create your own’. Requested banana, pineapple, coconut yogurt and orange juice. Super creamy and tasty! Also tried the Protein Power Bowl. Seasoned rice base with kale, tomato, feta and chopped chicken (tempeh option offered). Everything was wonderfully fresh, beautifully presented and super tasty!

The shop carries dry goods, supplements, produce, bottled beverages and much more. Check it out! If your friends choose another dining option from one of the other local vendors you can take your order to go and all share a table at the Market Hall. Across the street – Mitchell’s Ice Cream – what could possibly be better?
