I’m reviewing the First Watch cookbook! 

If you’re lucky enough to live near a First Watch restaurant, you may already know about the fresh, fabulous meals available on their menu! They are one of the best places I know to go for breakfast, brunch, or lunch (this is a “Daytime Cafe,” open from 7 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. every day). Freshness is a big deal at First Watch. As they say on their website, “…We begin each morning at the crack of dawn, slicing fresh fruits and vegetables, baking muffins and whipping up our French toast batter from scratch. Everything is made to order and freshness is never compromised.”

When I read that, I wanted to run right over to the recently-opened First Watch near me! I actually did go with a friend and we had a wonderful brunch there. I was deciding between the super-healthy Brilliant Beet Toast and the classic Farmhouse Hash (both pictured below)—I decided on the Beet Toast, which was super-good, and will get the Farmhouse Hash next time! I don’t think you can go wrong with anything you order on their menu—everything looks so appetizing!If you visit their website at FirstWatch.com, you can see where their restaurants are located. And if there isn’t one near you, here’s some good news—they have their own cookbook, First Watch, available on their website! They also sell it at their restaurants. And I’m happy to say that I’m having a giveaway for this cookbook right here, for one lucky winner!
