Whole Foods!

Not only am I in heaven with the new Whole Foods in Foggy Bottom, but this also means my bank account also has a good chance to be much smaller!!

Whole Foods is really catering their efforts to the GW community- students, staff, hospital employees and neighbors! I happen to work nearby so this is super convenient for me!

GW Cheerleaders and ole George even stopped by for the GRAND OPENING!!! I was in the area and surprisingly not working when I saw the grand opening activities, so I decided to partake!

I thought it was interesting instead of a traditional ribbon cutting, Whole Foods breaks bread...

They had free samples....including a delicious Avocado Nutty Salad (recipe below) lots of employees around to help you find what you need, overall a great experience! There were a ton of people there, so I grabbed a bagel and coffee...looked around a bit and dashed! I will be returning in the near future though!!!

A visit to the bakery is on the list....



Nutty Avocado Salad-
Jessica Cornell- Whole Foods, Plymouth Meeting, PA

1 (15 oz) can 365 Everyday Value Cannellini Beans
2-3 Avocados, sliced
1/2 sweet onion, chopped in large pieces
3 Tbsp 365 Organic Everyday Value Sesame Tahini
1 Zucchini, thinly sliced
Salt and Pepper, to taste

Drain 1/2 of the liquid from the cannellini beans. Mix together beans (with remaining 1/2 can of liquid), avocados, onion, tahini, and zucchini in a bowl. Salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate covered for one hour before serving.

OMG, YUM!
