I have this belief that much in life as all about timing’. Seems simple enough…yes?
Well as it turns out…my timing was pretty good today if it just happened to be that I was interested in seeking out some new granola….which I was. As I was exiting the fruit and veggie section at Whole Foods and looking for the granola aisle, I run into this fella offering tastes of his granola and I say to myself ‘Kismet’…ie…destiny…meant to be. He asks me if I want to taste any of the 5 choices on his display table and I jumped right in. “For sure”! He tells me his product is ‘hand made’ in Brooklyn and introduces himself a “Goody”.
Meet Goody…Granola Personality Extraordinaire!
For me…always sensing a possible food story if it’s something I enjoy… it’s only natural (pun intended today) to get the names of the people I meet in the word of food…so I ask if that’s his first or last name and he replies “It’s Goody…my friends call me Goody”. Okay Goody, this granola is phab!
Bottom line here…short and sweet like it is with many of my phood finds…this is a granola worth seeking out. What I especially appreciated: as sweet as the taste was, there were only 12 grams of sugar in 2 full ounces. Not only that, every ingredient was healthful!
So…next time you’re in Whole Foods, make it your biz to seek out my latest discovery and maybe you’ll be lucky enough to meet and eat with my latest phood find personality…Mr. Allen “Goody”.
Thanks for your fine reception Goody…see you again for sure!
