Takeout Tuesday - Nutella Bun from Sunday Morning Bakehouse


 

I've seen this Nutella bun offered a few weekends now at Sunday Morning Bakehouse - I hope it is becoming a regular menu item!  

The crispy croissant layers with the Nutella and chopped hazelnut filling is a perfect combination of texture in each bite.  I think this is pretty much the same as the Nutella twist they also have had before, but I like the swirled design of this one as well.  So delicious if you like Nutella!

Takeout Tuesday - ChiKo's Dumpling Week



ChiKo had their special Dumpling Week offered again this year so of course I had to get it this year too!  I love the whole idea of a dumpling-filled takeout special with so many different flavors.  The menu is listed below - I loved all of them and I liked how they were all prepared differently as well.  Everything reheated well and the two bottles of sauces are great to have on hand too.  I can't wait to see their next takeout special menu!

Takeout Tuesday - French Ham and Butter Sandwich from Sunday Morning Bakehouse


 

Do not sleep on this French ham and butter sandwich from Sunday Morning Bakehouse! It might sound simple but the components all come together to make a really delicious sandwich.  This consists of "thinly sliced ham, Swiss cheese, and Cornichon pickle slices on a buttered baguette".  The crispy outer layer of the baguette works so well with the softer cheese and ham, and the tiny pickles added a nice briny touch.  It's easy to forget about the "regular" sandwiches with so many fun sweets they regularly have out on display, but this one is a great lunch option!

Takeout Tuesday - Too Good to Go Order from Teamania


 

I've used the Too Good to Go app a handful of times, and I love how there's always an element of surprise.  I see what's available in my area, and pay ahead of time for a surprise bag from a participating local spot - snacks, meals, and sometimes even market grocery items.  

One of my favorite spots to use the app has been Teamania, an Asian-European bakery in Rockville because the store has so many items that could be in my surprise bag.  In this recent bag a few weeks ago, there was a wide range of sweet and savory items, and everything was delicious!  I especially liked how I could try items that maybe I wouldn't think to get if I was there on my own, like the ones with pork or cheese inside.  Even if I get their bag on multiple days, it's fun knowing that each bag can be very different inside.  It has definitely been nice to be able to try out so many of their bakery items!

Takeout Tuesday - Falafel Sandwich from Shouk



Look at how packed this falafel pita from Shouk Rockville is, yum!  I enjoyed Shouk's falafel as a salad bowl before, but I'm glad I tried it out in the sandwich form as well.  The falafel balls remained crisp with a fluffy center, and all of the other fresh vegetables made for a very filling dinner.  

I really liked how they package these too - the pita sandwich came boxed up and all I did was split open the top part of the box - which leaves a great sandwich holder while keeping everything intact in transit.  Really innovative!
