Hope you guys enjoyed yesterdays Seitan Edition. Today it’s onto the sweet treats of Neat Market.
First up was a personal favorite find of mine for many reasons.
It’s called OURS, which firstly is just a great name. There was so much cool artwork and awesome calligraphy all over this display. Everything looked so earthy, rustic, and beautiful it was hard not to take a bajillion photos. The couple who own and operate OURS looked like they belong in Melbourne so obviously I was just drawn to them.
OURS had a variety of products (including a “sausage” made from mushrooms, which I forgot to photograph) and I was happy to learn they also sell at Denver Urban Homestead.
They had sold out of this seed based cheese which I was bummed about but I happily snatched up the Pumpkin & Japanese Sweet Potato Cupcakes. These were the most appealing cupcakes of the whole market. And trust me…..there were a lot of cupcakes.
I got two to take home for my roommate and I.
It lived up to my expectation. Without being to sweet the texture was just perfect and the pumpkin seeds gave a nice crunch in there too.
Next up was Beet Box tons of vegan goodies from these guys, plus some Gluten-free delights. How two guys can make some of the prettiest desserts is beyond me. I can make a mean donut, but these were just gorge.
They’re sold in a ton of coffee shops in the Denver area and will be coming out with their own storefront soon. But that location is top secret for now….darn.
They also has some cupcakes.
Savory Tartes.
Gluten-Free Goodies.
Butternut Squash Samosa
I brought home the Apple Spice donut to share with my roomie. We dug into it immediately!
Ohmygoshmygolly.
Such an amazing flavor and texture. Chock full of apples and cinnamon flavor. I am certainly going to try to emulate this to the best of my abilities.
I tried to get a picture so you can see the real chunks of apple in there. My roomate mentioned that for a buck fifty. This is a steal considering you’d probably get charged the same thing at Krispy Creme
And since were on the donut theme here’s a preview of a recipe to come out of my own kitchen.
I’ll give you a hint: Lavendar
Have a great weekend. My cousins coming in town so it’s going to be a fun one!
