January Special

Eat a Pita

A new month means new specials at one of my favorite local restaurants, Eat a Pita! Eat a Pita in Midtown Village is a great place to go for a healthy, quick meal made right in front of your eyes. Their specialties include pitas and salads. The fun part to it all is you can order an item already with select ingredients or you can “Pick Your Own Pita” or Pick Your Own Salad”. This includes choosing your own produce, protein and pour (dressing).

Every beginning of the month, Eat a Pita offers two specials consisting of either a salad or a pita. January’s specials include a Winter Cous-Cous Salad or a Sweet Potato and Brown Rice Burger.  I decided to try the salad because it sounded delicious! I went with my sister Catherine and she “built her own pita” because that’s her go to whenever we go (we are regulars here, haha).

The Winter Cous-Cous Salad consisted of roasted broccoli, cauliflower, eggplant and crimini mushrooms, served over baby spinach with herb vinaigrette. This winter salad was definitely the healthy and perfect choice. What made the salad was the roasted vegetables and herb vinaigrette served with the cous-cous.

Catherine loves selecting her own fresh ingredients to put into her pita. She always gets the lemon-thyme vinaigrette though to pour over her pita. There is a variety to choose from.

We both love the quality of food and service when we dine at Eat a Pita. There is nothing than a better feeling when you walk into your local favorite restaurant/shop and they know you by name and you become friends with the owners. As always, we will definitely be back.

The Taste of Summer

Eat a Pita

Eat a Pita is definitely my go to place for a delicious and healthy meal. I recently went here to try one of their August specials which is the Grilled Peach Salad that I recently blogged about.

I went there again for lunch to try the other August special, which is the Crab Salad Pita. This pita had all the ingredients of summer into one and it was out of this world!

The Crab Salad Pita included: crab meat, “all the veggies”, roasted local corn and zucchini pickles served in a lemon-tahini dressing. All these ingredients are the seasoned foods of summer and it was so fresh tasting! As a side, I got the cup of faro salad which I absolutely love.

I love the feeling of eating clean and well after eating at Eat a Pita. I also love the exceptional service that is offered! I finally had a chance to meet one of the owners, Jamie! She is so sweet! Nothing beats going to a local establishment, where you feel welcome and like you belong!

If you haven’t already please go to Eat a Pita for a healthy and tasty meal!

It's Peach Season All Around!

Cake and Beanstalk & Eat a Pita

August not only means that summer is coming to an end, but it also means it’s the last chance to savor nature’s sweetest fruits, peaches! I feel like everywhere I go, peaches are being featured within the item of the month.

I recently went to two of my favorite places to indulge in their delicious peach items: Cake and the Beanstalk and Eat a Pita.

Cake and the Beanstalk is my go to place for a quick pick me up of coffee or to stop in for a delicious, homemade treat! I went the other afternoon when my mom came to visit because I wanted to try their new peach cake. This slice of cake was so refreshing with the taste of fresh peaches paired with peach cream cheese frosting! My mom got a bagel with cream cheese. But when she tried the cake, we both agreed that the icing was amazing and tasted just right with the amount of cream cheese flavor!

The second day of my mom visiting, we went to one of our favorite places for lunch, Eat a Pita. My mom built her own pita of chicken curry salad, but I tried the August special which was the grilled peach salad. This salad included: grilled peaches, “all the veggies”, bleu cheese, watercress and toasted pistachios. This was honestly the best salad I have ever had! I loved the unique blend of all the ingredients and it was the perfect summer salad. What really made this salad was the bleu cheese!

August has just begun, so make sure you stop by your local spots to see their incorporation of peaches this month!

I can’t wait to go home this weekend for the Peach Festival in Peddler’s Village! If you are around in Bucks County, the Peach Festival & Sidewalk Sale is August 9th-10h from 10AM-6PM. I am looking forward to live entertainment, summer sales and fresh local peaches with homemade treats! I am also going to Manoff Market Gardens for their peaches & black berries!

Nature's Way

Eat a Pita

Whenever my sister, Catherine and I have been home and had the comforts of love from the family and of course, home cooked meals, we loved to eat healthy and detox at Eat a Pita!

I’ve written many food blog posts on Eat a Pita before. This restaurant offers delicious and healthy options of paninis, pitas, salads and soups. It is a great place to go for a healthy, quick meal made right in front of your eyes. The fun part to it all is you can order an item already with select ingredients or you can “Pick Your Own Pita” or Pick Your Own Salad”. This includes choosing your own produce, protein and pour. Eat a Pita has a whole list to choose from.

Catherine always selects to Pick Her Own Pita. I usually go with the specialty panini or salad of the month, but this time I was feeling one of their hand-picked salads. I got the Nature’s Way Salad, which included: dried fruit, granola and spinach topped with fig balsamic vinaigrette. I added chicken for $2. I loved the combo of the dried fruit and granola because you don’t typically see that in a salad. I also got a side of orzo salad.

Again, if you’re looking for a healthy option, Eat a Pita is the place to be! They offer many fresh menu items to fit your healthy lifestyle. You can either dine- or take out if you are on the go!

I’ve been here numerous times for a quick bite for lunch or to just to have dinner. Each month Eat a Pita features both a pita and salad. This is why I recently went. I wanted to try the pita of the month which is the Black Bean Burger Pita.

This pita contained black beans, quinoa, brown rice and “all the veggies” mixed in Harissa sauce. The ingredients were so fresh and the black bean quinoa burger was very flavorful. The Harissa sauce had a nice kick and red pepper taste to it.

For a side, I got the Farro which had butternut squash, dried cranberries and spinach in a maple vinaigrette. This was simply perfect.

Eat a Pita is a great Philly local to go to if you’re on the go and want something healthy. Their special salad is the Winter Kale Salad which includes roasted beets, “all the veggies”, toasted pumpkin seeds and dried cranberries in a lemon tahina dressing. February is coming to an end, so make sure you try!
