Secret Recipes

I LOVE grocery shopping, kind of weird, but I do.  We just moved to Madison, Wisconsin a few months ago and I've enjoyed checking out all the grocery stores around here.  Yesterday HyVee had their Grand Opening and of course I had to go check it out.  I may have a new favorite place to shop.  This place is huge!  I did get a few strange looks when I was taking pictures but I just wanted to share this store with someone.  It's amazing!  Here are a few things they offer.....

 I can enjoy a latte while I'm shopping as this Starbucks is right inside the store.  What a great idea!

Just beautiful!  They have produce I've never seen before!

The displays were a work of art.

If your hungry, they  offer a food court, Italian (wood burning oven to cook the pizzas), Asian (along with a sushi bar), and Homemade meals to pick up and warm at home.  They also have a really nice dine in area.

The salad bar was fresh and well stocked. 

The bakery offers artisan bread that is baked daily.  UMMM...I can't wait to try them all.

I never buy store bought desserts just because I enjoy baking but for those that do, these looked sumptuous.

They have a large selection of bulk foods, from nuts to dried fruits and whole grains.  They also had almond and peanut butter that you can grind fresh.  I tried the almond butter and it was yummy!

The meat display looked fresh and had a great variety.

Oh my, after seeing all this seafood it will have to be on my menu soon. 

I have never seen so much cheese! 

I'm loving Madison with all it's wonderful Restaurants, the best farmers market EVER, and great grocery stores like Trader Joe's, Metcalfe's, Knoche's Food Center and Old Fashioned Butcher Shop, Whole Foods and now HyVee's.   Now what to make for dinner tonight!?
