The Little Grill Collective











Today we decided to throw caution to the wind and travel to the Green Valley Book Fair just south of Harrisonburg, VA.  You can get thousands of new books for practically nothing.  I love getting a fairly new title for $3.00 and then checking the original price to see that it WAS $25.00!!!  On our way home we were very hungry so we decided to stop at the Little Grill Collective in Harrisonburg.  It is kind of a hole in the wall, but we loved it.  The atmosphere is really laid-back.  I felt totally comfortable bringing the kids in there!  Low and behold, there were plenty of options for veg-heads.  There were several sandwiches that included tempeh, salads, appetizers that included falafel and hummus, and each dish came with a ton of chips and/or fresh fries.  You can ask to have the cheese in ANYTHING substituted with vegan cheese.  I especially enjoyed the vegan chocolate chip cookie (just order one, they are massive, and ask to have it warmed up), the ginger lemonade, and the paintings and stuff around the room.  It was more like being at home than a restaurant.  Parents take note:  the peanut butter in the PB&J is all natural, no sugar added.  We usually get our peanut butter sweetened, so my 5 year old turned into a real grouch and refused to eat because the peanut butter "tasted funny".  Other than that, Little Grill is amazing and not to be missed!!!  Next stop in Harrisonburg will be the Ethiopian place!
