No-mayo potato salad, grass-fed mini burgers, crunchy swai with basil-goat cheese potato puree, curried pea soup, pickled rhubarb (etc.), white bean ragout, Italian sausage grill with gnocchi, leftover oatmeal pancakes, and cheddar chive buttermilk biscuits with extra creamy scrambled eggs.
The newly released Pepin Heights Honey Bites — which are nothing more than dried slices of Honeycrisp apples — are so suspiciously honey-kissed that you will, almost inevitably, check the bottom of the box in search of sugars or other additives. There are none. The Minnesota-made moist and pliable apple slices have a depth of flavor that suggests a liberally sweetened apple herbal tea.
Honey Bites can be found at Lunds, Byerly’s, Festival Foods, and Kowalski’s, with a suggested retail price of $3.99 for a 4-ounce package; that’s not cheap as far as dried fruit goes, but it’s worth noting that Honey Bites deliver a premium dried apple experience.
