Lula Jane's lunch date

Ricotta grits with roasted corn, wilted greens and apple wood smoked bacon....yum!  And of course I got pie.  It was heavenly.  I love pie!

If you have been reading my blog for long you know I love trying new restaurants.  Gary and I moved away from Waco in 2001 and there are so many more restaurants here now than then.  Waco has blown up into a fun little big town!  I'm so exited to be back HOME!

Lula Jane's is a bakery across the Washington street bridge.  It is a quaint little spot and the food was amazing and very fresh.  

They grow much of their own produce and from the looks of the kitchen all of their baked goods are made from scratch.  I was so intrigued by their pies and cakes and I hope they have a taste test one day.  I'm all over that!  Everything looked a.maz.ing.

Each day the chef makes the lunch entree, so I jumped on the website to look at the menu for the day.  I have to say I was disappointed that I missed taco day, but then when I took the first bite of  the wilted greens, bacon and grits I was in love.  I'm a Mexican food lover and will always crave tacos, but my lunch was superb!  

I went on a lunch date with my Aunt and she works downtown, so it was quick and convenient to her office.  I will have to take Gary because I know he will be a fan too.  Layla will drool over all the baked goods.  I can't wait to go back soon!
