KPK At The Market Avocado & Garden Tomato Bruschetta

Juicy, ripe garden tomatoes and creamy avocado slices are tossed together with freshly squeezed lemon juice, olive oil, sheep's milk feta cheese, thinly sliced red onion and fresh basil. This is kind of like a deconstructed, international guacamole served on a chunk of crusty, olive-oiled, garlic-rubbed, grilled ciabatta bread. It's definitely a favorite in KPK. Come out to the Frankfort Farmer's Market for a big juicy bite.

Also on sale this weekend are the soon-to-be-famous KPK 5G Cookies ! ! ! These svelte, crispy cookies are made with WHOLE grains like wheat, oats, rye, barley, triticale and even flaxseed! The original 5G includes dried tart and chewy cherries. Two new cookies this week are the KPK 5G with Pistachios & Cherries PLUS the KPK 5G with Chinese Cassia Cinnamon, toasted Pecans & Chocolate. Try them all and bump up your fiber while you enjoy some satisfying grindage. LOL. We love these cookies. : )

Our popular Chia Flowers will be available this weekend also, in limited quantity. Hurry there!

Come out and see us at the Frankfort Country Market, every Sunday from 10:00 am til' 2:00 pm. We love to feed you : )

Keepin' it Fresh & Keepin' it Fun ~
