A few weeks ago I loaded up the kids and headed west to check out a
lavender farm (yet another groupon-type deal that was expiring). We made
a stop in Warrenton to check out the famous Red Truck Bakery
and pick up some goodies for a picnic on the farm. It was a cute little
bakery built in an old gas station in the historic downtown area. We
had a hard time choosing so we picked a few different pastries, a
sandwich, and a loaf of rosemary focaccia (which was heavenly and I
devoured half of it on the drive home). I was so tempted to try their
granola which has been named the best in the country. But we already had
so much food and the high price discouraged me and now I have serious
regrets. I'll have to make it back to the Red Truck Bakery some day.
Hopefully soon. Those pies are calling my name too.
The orange poppyseed cookie was perfection. The brownie and chocolate croissant were also excellent. Elsa absolutely insisted on a red truck cookie and then took one bite and said she was done.
The hint of curry in the chicken salad was delicious.
