This Banana Crumb Cake Muffin Recipe Will Solve Your Over Ripe Banana Struggle
You were determined to be healthy and take in your potassium daily, make peanut butter banana sandwiches, overnight oats, açaí bowls, maybe even some nice cream for future splurging. Then instead of eating your bananas daily, you end up going to bottomless brunch, going away for the weekend, going on a Bumble date, rushing out the door for work Monday with barely enough time to wait in the drive thru line at Dunkin, but you commit to it anyway with a drafted text to your boss ready for sending. You probably never get to send that text because they are taking Monday off to travel back from wherever they were that weekend. They say “If it goes bad in a short time, then it’s good for you.” No I’m not talking about a Bumble Date, or that flirty text you have prepared in your notes for that super hot crush of yours. I’m talking about avocados, apples, strawberries, kale, and bananas!
This banana crumb cake muffin recipe does not neglect any of the things we crave on the daily. They are carb-ful, gluten full, contain eggs, and are sinfully sweet! They would pair perfect with a brunch. I recommend making a bunch and having them for the week!
Makes 12 medium sized muffins
You can also make one large crumb cake, but double the bake time if that’s the route you’re going.
Ingredients
For the Mufffins
1 1/2 cups of Flour
1 stick of unsalted butter
1 cup of Sugar
1/2 tsp salt
3 eggs
3 ripe bananas mashed
2 tsp Baking Powder
1 tsp Vanilla
Dash of All Spice
2 tbsp Sour Cream (Optional)
For the Crumb Topping
1 stick of Butter
1 cup of Flour
1 cup of Light Brown Sugar
Dash of Cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
For the muffins soften the butter, combine the sugar, flour, salt, baking powder, lightly beaten eggs, and optional sour cream. Fold in the mashed bananas.
Grease muffin tins with butter or your favorite non stick weapon (coconut oil, cooking spray for baking, etc.)
Pop these in the oven, time the oven for 20-25 minutes.
Prepare your crumb topping. Don’t overwork, remember you want crumbs, not a paste, use a fork until you have a crumby texture.
After 15 minutes of baking, sprinkle your crumb topping to cover each muffin and put back in the oven to finish baking.
Once these have baked for 20 minutes use a tooth pick to check that they are baked all the way through. It is possible that at this point they will need an additional 3-5 minutes of baking if the tooth pick does not come out clean.
Once rested and cooled, they are ready to enjoy. I let mine cool for about 10 minutes then I removed from the tins and allowed them to rest for an hour prior to serving.

How Make Loaded Tots As Bomb as Bar Louie’s
An experience at Bar Louie is never worthwhile unless tots are involved. Bar Louie’s tots are served in a skillet with cheese, jalapeños, bacon, scallions, and I recommend requesting ranch on the side. Their tots straight up plain are also a killer side kick to a burger, sandwich, or your $5 martini at Happy Hour.
Ingredients
1 Package of Trader Joe’s Frozen Tater Tots
Your favorite Ranch Dressing (Trader Joe’s Recommended)
1 cup of Cooked Bacon Chopped, drained
Mixed Shredded Cheese
Salt to taste
Chopped Scallions for Garnish
Instructions
Cook bacon about 80 percent in a skillet. Chop finely.
Transfer bacon to a plate with paper towel on bottom and covering bacon to drain.
Preheat Oven to 400 degrees.
Place frozen Tater Tots on a non stick cookie sheet. Parchment Paper helps too!
10 minutes after cooking flip tots so the bake evenly.
Bake an additional 5 minutes.
After this round of baking remove from oven and shake salt accordingly to taste desire.
Transfer the tots to a baking dish or lan that you plan to serve them in.
Sprinkle the bacon above the tots, next the mixed shredded cheese.
Place the partially loaded tots back in the oven until the cheese melts (approx 5 minutes).
Drizzle the ranch, sprinkle the chopped scallions.
Enjoy!

8 Places That All Food Lovers Will Love in Madison, Wisconsin
Leave it to Wisconsin to do cheese, Beer, cheese curds, barbecue, and kindness right. Madison is the place for food, shopping, views, people watching, and site seeing. State street takes care of everything you could possibly need in your life. The gift shops are unlike any other and the food options are pretty endless. Madison is full of plenty of commercial chains while having some local gems that locals all swear by.
1. The Old Fashioned
The Old Fashioned was recommended to me by locals to Madison, and expert tourists to Madison. The Old Fashioned is a rock throw from the capital building, a cozy bar scene, where they are killing the game with their old fashioned cocktails, burgers, pub sandwiches, and more!
2. Cafe Hollander
Cafe Hollander was recommended to me by a local, and I can’t express enough how great of a recommendation this one was. About 10 minutes outside of the downtown area, Cafe Hollander is a local hang or educated tourist spot serving up kick ass breakfast, brunch, lunch food. I got the Pulled Pork Poutine and requested the gravy served on the side. One of the best things I’ve ever eaten.
Order this: Pulled Pork Poutine, The Sconnie Burger, Big Smoky Burger, Kipenwafle, Highlander Mimosa, Bloody Mary
3. Fromagination
Fromagination is best described as every food lover’s paradise. When I walked in I was greeted with hot apple cider, and the opportunity to sample anything displayed. The entire store is covered in only the finest cheeses, olive oils, jams, syrups, mustards, and much more.
Order this: Sandwiches, Evalon Aged Goat Cheese
4. Kilwins
Kilwins is a wonderland of candy apples, made in house, fudge, popcorn, chocolate, and ice-cream. The array of popcorn will put you over the edge, and the selection of house made caramel apples is one of the most beautiful sights you will ever see. The workers are lovely and minutes after you walk in, will offer you one of their finest samplings of fudge. Mmmmm!
What To Order: The Nutcracker popcorn, Sea-salt Carmel fudge, Dark Sea-salt caramel fudge.
5. Teddywedgers
Teddywedgers is famous for their super stuffed pastries. Their traditional pastry is stuffed with Wisconsin ground steak, potatoes, and onions. Your stuffed pastry prayers are answered being that you can get a savory breakfast pastry, an indulgently sweet dessert pastry depending on the day’s offering, or an adventurous special stuffed pastry. Small place, but a reliable local gem.
What To Order: Traditional Stuffed Pastry, Chicken Pot Pie, Classic Breakfast
6. Short Stack Eatery
Consider your brunch dreams made at Short Stack Eatery. Never have I experienced a truly perfect brunching experience. You walk in…don’t be intimidated by the line. You look at the menu while your in line, order and pay up at the counter. You take a number which is a license plate, and take a seat. Your drinks and food is brought to you and you are in for the ultimate brunch experience. Get anything that involves pancakes. The Sweet Potato Oatmeal Pancakes are ridiculously good, and the Maple Bourbon Mascarpone whipped cream is the whipped crack that comes with it. I got the trio which allowed me to chose pancakes, eggs any style, meat, potatoes, fruit, or mixed greens. I went with the Sweet Potato Oatmeal Pancakes, Scrambled Eggs, and Mixed Greens. Another popular pick amongst the locals was the Biscuits & Gravy. They have coffee, milkshakes, and a full bar of basic brunch cocktails not so basic 25 ingredient Award Winning Bloody Marys and specialty cocktails. I went with a Salty Dog, with a salted rim, and Fresh Grapefruit Juice. It was such a great pour, no need for a second.
What to Order: Sweet Potato Oatmeal Pancakes, The Trio, Salty Dog
7. Chocolate Shop Ice Cream
According to Chocolate Shop, this is the best ice-cream made in Wisconsin. I have to agree that it is stellar, thick creamy goodness. Due to the “gobs of rich Wisconsin cream, tons of real ingredients, and boat loads of luscious flavors,” everyone loves it, as will your soul. Their Cookie Dough ice-cream has hunks of rick chocolate and cookie dough. The Latteda is every coffee aficionado’s paradise! These two flavors together make a dynamic duo. The ice-cream is not icy, it is soft and creamy. Its irresistible and a must stop!
What To Order: Cookie Dough, Latteda
8. Vom Fass
Vom Fass is a wonderland of local and internationally made liqueurs, wines, bourbons, gins, vodkas, whiskeys, scotch, olive oils and vinegars. Just think, all of the major food groups covered under one roof. You definitely need to spend some time in here, as everything is sample able, and you are encouraged to taste as much as you want. This is a great store to come in to if you are looking for a gift for that someone in your life who loves to cook. The workers ideally know what they are doing when it comes to educating you on the most authentically foreign selections, mine certainly did here in Madison.
What To Look For: Ginger Sesame Oil, Honey Balsamic Vinegar, Apple Balsamic Star Vinegar, Calamansi Balsam, Latte Macchiato Cream Liqueur, Rich & Spicy Cabernet Sauvignon

How To Make Bagels With 4 Ingredients in 30 minutes
I’ve been curious about these for months! I finally committed to making these. The dough takes four ingredients and you only need to reserve 30-35 minutes including prep, and baking! Here’s the best part, they are made with Fat Free Greek Yogurt, so your pants will fit better!
Ingredients
1 cup All purpose Flour
2 tsp of Baking Powder
Pinch of Salt
1 cup Plain Fat Free Greek Yogurt
Preheat oven to 375 degrees Combine all of these ingredients and use a spatula to combine. You can also use your hands, which of course is more fun!
Take some dough on a floured board and roll into a log, bend log and stick the ends together to form rings.
Set each bagel onto parchment paper. To top each bagel, beat an egg white and lightly brush onto each bagel. Immediately after you’ve coated, sprinkle your favorite bagel topping. I use sesame seeds or Trader Joe’s Everythjng Bagel Seasoning.
Bake for 25 Minutes at 375 degrees. Golden brown bottom is your indicator that they are done!

Instructions
Combine all the dry ingredients, add in the butter (melted but not piping hot) then the eggs. Work the dough by hand until all combined.
I made 2 separate “logs” of dough, and formed like a meat loaf, then press the top down so the logs are close to flat, this way they bake through.
Baking instructions
After oven has been preheated, place your dough to bake in oven at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes.
Check with toothpick and when toothpick comes out clean allow dough to cool for 10 minutes.
WE’RE NOT DONE...
Slice with a large slicing knife into logs
Gently separate so that each log has some breathing room.
Bake again at same temperature for another 10 minutes.
Leave them in the oven with the oven turned off for another 20-25 minutes depending on how crunchy you prefer your biscotti.

Make Zinna’s Bistro The Next Restaurant You Eat At
If you live in New Jersey, consider yourself very fortunate. New Jersey is home to the most beautiful beaches, plenty of train stops en route to New York City, the Pork Roll Egg & Cheese, and next to NYC, we’ve got some killer restaurants to compete with! The best thing is that at many of ours, you are welcome to bring your own wine! We find that at places like these, the food is stellar and you avoid half of your bill dedicated to the liquor! We experienced a new find, that gets a standing ovation for food, menu, service, and ambience; Zinna’s Bistro in Cranbury, New Jersey.
Zinna’s Bistro is a locally loved, family owned gem in Cranbury, as well as a two time winner of Open Table’s Diner’s Choice Award. Take a bite out of any of their homemade pastas and you’ll see why they won the award twice! Chris Zinna puts so much love and care into his menu, serving the freshest, high quality ingredients, to make for a diner’s ultimate experience. All of the meat is smoked in house, and much of Zinna’s produce is grown in the garden, on site! Surrounding the restaurant is a beautiful patio which is a hit in the spring and summer time, with a view of all the tomatoes, figs, grapes and more, freshly growing!
Now, let’s talk about the food. As a first timer you must know that all of their meats are smoked in house, usually a day or two in advanced. The brisket doesn’t get more tender than Zinna’s. Consider yourself in “Flavor Town” while experiencing Zinna’s short rib, sausage, beef, even their veggie burger!
The Brisket Sliders
These Brisket 2 bite sliders, are made with tender, just smoked, just pulled brisket, coated in house-made barbecue sauce, coleslaw, and a slider sized potato bun holds it all together. Three come in an order and they are served with three cool, salty pickles. These sliders are the ultimate pre game for the flavor party you are in for here.
Fried Goat Cheese Salad
Whoever said that ordering a salad in a restaurant is lame, stands to be corrected, because this is one killer salad that I’ve yet to see anyone come close to beating! I know what you're thinking, what can one possible do to a salad? The Fried Goat Cheese, of course is the star of the dish, but paired with fresh beets, and candied walnuts, this salad is a winner. I would share it, so that you have room for one of their fresh homemade pastas, but this salad is another must-order!
Mahi-Mahi Tacos
These are on their lunch menu, and taco lovers this is your calling! These tacos are so light, and delightfully easy to eat! The presentation is exceptional and every bite, is fresh meaty Mahi Mahi! Megan is a taco fanatic, especially seafood tacos. “I rank these high top of my taco scale!”
Homemade Pastas
Chris takes much pride in sharing his homemade pastas with the Zinna’s Bistro comers! Kelly & I were stumbled upon which pasta to chose being that each one looked uniquely different! Short Rib Mac & Cheese was calling us, as was the Black Garlic. “The Gemelli Nero stole my heart!” says Megan. We were fortunate enough to get to experience all three varieties of scratch made mac and cheese, all made with homemade pasta!
Short Rib Mac & Cheese
This is legendary. Creamy, cheesy, smoky short rib goodness. The Short Rib Mac & Cheese pays tribute to that classic cheesy taste that you always crave, but the Short rib is a killer twist that you won’t get enough of.
Black Garlic Mac & Cheese
This kept you going back for more and more of it. The kicker to this mac & cheese is the sweet caramelized onions paired with the black garlic and who knows what kind of killer blend of cheeses!
Gemelli Nero
Chef and Owner, Chris explained to us that Gemelli is the cut of the pasta, and it is made with sweet fennel sausage, black garlic, a richly dangerous cheese cream sauce, and a balsamic reduction which is perfectly sung throughout the entire skillet! “Wow!”
Experiencing all three of these was Epcot for Mac & Cheese, all with a unique kick that made each one drop the mic!
Veggie Burger
Before you laugh at us for getting a veggie burger, it is a must experience, so hope that amongst your group or on your date, you have a vegetarian. There is a huge difference between a veggie burger that is made and constructed in house, versus a veggie burger that is not. I never thought I would be craving this veggie burger again like I am. You can taste, beets, beans, and greens in the middle of this fluffy, buttery potato bun. I asked Kelly what she tastes in there, as she was the first one to the bite…”Goodness!” says Kelly. The veggie burger is served with their Jersey Shore Fries! “Its all in the seasoning!” says Chris.
Mom’s Carrot Cake
Save room for dessert, take it from us that ordering dessert here is not optional. You have to experience their homemade desserts. What’s so cool about the food at Zinna Bistro, this dessert specifically, is that it comes with a story. This is Chris’ Mom’s recipe, know wonder it tastes as though it was made with lots of love!
Tiramisu
This is another winner. Coffee lovers, you must you must have this. Every time you slide your spoon, the espresso oozes out of the lady finger crust. The Carrot Cake and this “misu” are desserts that you wont just taste and let the other person have the rest. You will keep going back in for more. “Layers of perfection!”
We can't wait to return back to Zinna’s Bistro, and we hope that after getting the inside scoop that you visit for brunch, lunch or dinner! In the even that you are in a hurry, they also do carry out! Zinna’s is your calling for hosting your parties! In the summer they can accommodate parties of 45 on the patio and their dining room seats up to 110 guests. They also cater, we are getting ideas already!

Just Restaurant Serves Killer Food Like Spicy Tuna Cones Behind A Gas Station
Let me explain. Just Restaurant is a hidden gem of an American restaurant, far from basic. I’ve passed this restaurant for years on my commute to work and decided to give it a shot finally. Just Restaurant is at a mega disadvantage being set back behind a BP Gas station, I mean if you have an emergency you have a gas station right there to save you. The word needs to get out about how good the food and drinks are at Just. What’s the cuisine? you ask. American with a touch of Asian Fusion, Mexican, Polish And Japanese. Their offerings are American offerings but everything has its unique spin. They are servicing their house made donuts in a shopping cart for crying out loud, if that’s not a unique spin, I can’t tell you what is!
Spicy Tuna Cones
They have a unique starter appetizer that is Spicy Tuna Cones. A must. The cone itself is like crack, you can’t get enough of it. The Spicy Tuna stuffed throughout is fresh, meaty and just insanely satisfying.
The Food
The next contender to the bar menu are the Short Rib Tacos. They also have short rib raviolis, so I recommend getting anything that involves short ribs. On the tacos, the short rib is melt in your mouth tender topped with an avocado salsa. Simplicity at its tastiest.
The Parmesan Truffle Fries are fantastic! Even though I’ve had better ones, overall these did not disappoint. Megan is a fanatic for salt, so thats the only thing that to her was lacking in the truffle fries, so problem solved to just ask for a salt shaker. The house made chips are awesome too, with a dusting of cayenne to elevate the heat. Filet Mignon Cabobs, are a no go in Megan’s book. Megan has her eye on Pierogis for next time.
The Drinks
This is definitely a place to happy hour at or compliment a drink with you meal. Megan started with the Gingerita. Its a perfect way to enjoy a margarita in the winter with its offerings of ginger.
Dessert
Save room for dessert here, and don’t be ashamed to get TWO. The Cookie & Cream is absolute perfection, served HOT in a skillet with vanilla ice-cream atop and a side of some sweet secret sauce. The Flourless Chocolate Cake is divine and melts in your mouth. The sensational richness of the chocolate makes you crave more and more. This cake is served alongside a dollop of homemade whipped cream. Megan would order either of these again, AND the doughnuts in the shopping cart.
Just Restaurant is officially #FOLapproved

17 Schmackarys Cookies Ranked That Are Better Than Any X-Mas Cookie
The love that we have for Schmackary’s Cookies was instant love at first bite. Regardless how full we are from Tony’s Dinapoli’s generous oh so Italian portions or how much of our body weight we’ve consumed in Japanese barbecue at Gyu-Kaku, You have to make Schmackary’s Cookies a destination while in New York City. “I am happy to admit that I without question had three of these cookies in one day!” One of “Zachary Schmackary’s” cookie creations is more unique than the next, and each visit we discover another sweet flavor that we drool for!
#17 THE BIRTHDAY PARTY
Blending in Oreo’s, rainbow sprinkles, and white chocolate chips to the classic chocolate chip cookie seems a little unnecessary being that the classic Chocolate Chip Cookie and the Funfetti on their own are gland slams! Happy I experienced it, but the other cookies mentioned below are ones I recommend you have someone bring to your birthday party.
#16 KEY LIME
This one is quite different and unusual. If you crave a citrus sweet, then I would definitely go for it. Megan’s key lime craving is better satisfied with the pie itself or a frozen margarita key lime pie, rather than a cookie.
#15 MEXICAN HOT CHOCOLATE
Warning; this cookie is HOT! We mean, it has a KICK! Unique, and unlike any other cookie you’ll experience here, but worth a try for something different!
#14 SWEET CORN
“This cookie actually soared my expectations,” says Megan. “I had to try it being that it is Zachary Schmackary’s favorite, and I must say, it was really really good.” It’s sweet, and screams corn bread, and has little hints of dried cranberry. It’s Gluten Free, so bring your gluten free date here for this one, among others. YUM! Check Out This Video to see it tasted by Schmackary’s founder Zachary Schmal!
#13 COOKIES N CREAM
The chocolate cookie underneath the vanilla cream cheese frosting is perfection alone! Though if you are an Oreo lover, this is your calling!
#12 FUNFETTI
Sugar Cookie Base, Cream Cheese frosting, Rainbow Sprinkles. The ultimate Sweet sugar cookie and then some experience!
#11 FLUFFER NUTTER
We love Schmackary’s peanut butter offerings. The fluffer nutter is topped with a smooth, rich peanut butter cream frosting. Peanut butter, and more peanut butter. Genius. Dangerously addicting. We wouldn't count on sharing this one going well ;)
#10 CANDIED YAM
Very unique taste. Not overwhelmingly sweet, topped off with sweet sticky marshmallow and blow torched! Think of mom’s sweet potato casserole but in cookie form!
#9 PUMPKIN SPICE
This cookie screams fall and it is insane in the best way. Pumpkin pie oh my is what you can expect out of every bite.
#8 PEANUT BUTTER PATTY
You can’t go wrong with anything that involves a peanut butter base cookie at Schmackary’s. You will feel like a kid as you have the sensations that are sweet creamy peanut butter, and smooth velvety chocolate frosting.
#7 CARROT CAKE
The cream cheese walnut frosting made me so happy the first time I bit into this beautiful cookie. It took me home to one of my favorite cakes out there, carrot cake!
#6 HUMMINGBIRD
Banana walnut lovers, this cookie was made for you! Banana, Pineapple, walnut, and cream cheese frosting come together to make one of Schmackary’s best cookies!
#5 THE CLASSIC
What makes Schmackary’s classic chocolate chip cookie reign supreme above the rest is how good it tastes warm, and that it has a hint of sea salt to balance out its ooey, gooey, chocolate chip perfection!
#4 SCHMORES
You will feel like a kid again indulging in this classic chocolate chip cookie, topped with a perfectly torched marshmallow topping. Theres a char to the marshmallow that really makes you feel like you are biting into a s’more. You would think by now we have the cookie calendar schedule memorized, but for some reason every visit Megan hopes to see this on display as one of the day’s offerings!
#3 CARAMEL APPLE CRISP
As though fall and apple pie have come together to create the perfect baby, this Caramel Apple Crisp cookie is sensationally sweet, topped with goey caramel!
#2 MAPLE BACON
The sweet and salty sensation of this cookie makes you crave more and more of it! It is so good as breakfast, a fabulous mid day pick me up, and the happiest ending to the day.
#1 GLAZED PISTACHIO

Our top favorite! We always cross our fingers in hopes that these will be the featured menu offering! Every bite screams pistachio! The frosting is drizzled and pistachios are mixed into the cookie and the drizzled frosting. Just perfection and something we can go for any time!
Schmackary’s is officially #FOLapproved
We always look forward to the next Schmackary’s visit and we hope that this helps you decide which cookies to get when you visit!

This Thai Food Will Rock Your Socks Off
Never judge a book by its cover never has been more real than stumbling upon the Thai gem that is Thai House Rock. Some of the places that look like nothing on the outside looking in, small, hole in the wall looking restaurants are home to some of the best food you'll ever experience. Thai House Rock, rocked our socks off. The small family owned business definitely is passionate for Elvis and the rock n roll legends of the time, as the surrounding decor is equally inspired by rock n roll as it is Thailand. The menus all come with a different vintage record case, and the special menu is literally attached to a record. A “bring your own,” always worthy of a standing ovation from us, Thai House Rock offers a small, intimate cozy ambience for dining.
We heard things about the Garlic Lover Shrimp, and those things couldn't be more accurate. One of the most crunchy, garlicky awesomeness one could ask for in a shrimp dish. We don't recommend kissing anyone after indulging in this one, but the party you’ll have going on in your mouth is one to remember. The Pad Thai with chicken and shrimp is fantastic, spicy if you don’t mention otherwise! Comp house salads come with most entrees, and soup offerings are on point. The soup that Megan had was a Spicy Noodle Soup, spicy, comforting for the weather and slurp worthy. “Loved that as a starter!,” Megan says.
The price is right. For two of us, three items, and the comp salads were just above thirty dollars, we would say that “Wine Wednesday” can be paired with this sweet deal every week. All the food is made to order, and you can certainly tell by its freshness and presentation. Watching other selections made by other tables was entertaining to witness as the entrees parade their way to their tables. B.Y.O.B, lunch specials, take out, and dinner seating before 7PM all are things here! Next time you and your friends are craving Thai or want to “order in,” Thai House Rock is a win for your taste buds.
Thai House Rock is officially #FOLapproved
We can’t wait to wine down our Wednesday with another visit to Thai House Rock!

We Tried Blaze Pizza For The First Time: Here’s What We Thought
Look no further. There is a new pizza joint that is killing the game, nation wide. Dominos, Pizza Hut and Papa Johns better look out, because Blaze Pizza is firing up killer pies that are not here to kill your bank statement nor your self esteem after delicious calories consumed. Blaze offers 9 signature pies that the experts have designed, “simple salads,” garlic knots, drinks, and desserts. They also offer high rise dough and gluten free crust to satisfy either extreme! If you are the creative type, you have the opportunity to build your own and customize your pie to your liking. Applewood bacon, crumbled meatballs, grilled chicken, and Italian sausage are among the meat options to start your pie off. Goat cheese, Ovalini mozzarella, gorgonzola, and Vegan cheese (invite all vegans) are among the many interesting cheese selections for your pie. The sauce game is taken to the next level while classic sauce is a thing here, as is spicy red sauce, garlic pesto sauce, white cream, bbq drizzle, and balsamic drizzle are sauce candidates.
MEGAN’S MENU PICK
The Green Stripe
Blaze considers these “personal” pizzas. Definitely, challenging but desirably doable to eat six slices in one sitting, being that the taste and quality of the ingredients makes your crave more and more! Your first time, you won’t be disappointed with their signature Green Stripe, having mozzarella, grilled chicken, roasted red peppers, garlic, fresh Arugula and pesto drizzle. You can add and sub anything you wish, like Megan added red sauce. What separates this pizza from the other fast pizza stops’ pizzas is the quality of ingredient. A Blaze slice is perfectly crisp and easy to hold. The biggest disappointment is when a pizza slice collapses or os too flimsy to lift, and thats not this pizza at all. The mozzarella passed Megan’s ultimate cheese pull standard. In case you weren’t overwhelmed enough, they also have a choose two option, where you can get half a pizza and half a salad or for you carb crazies, have a pizza and half an order of their mouth watering garlic knots, which ooze with mozzarella cheese. I waited just about 10 minutes for the pizza to be built and fired up in the oven, and discovered their dessert offerings, Sea salt chocolate chip cookies, S’more pie, and olive oil brownies.
