After walking a 5K with my cousin, we went to Good Earth for dinner:
Good Earth
1901 W. Hwy 36
Roseville, MN 55113
651-636-0956
The front waiting area was completely empty when we arrived around 6:45 pm last night. To my surprise, we were not greeted right away - in fact, we waiting around in the lobby for a few minutes before anyone even approached us! Fortunately, we were finally sat at a table and were left to make our dinner choices!
Normally I don't get tasty beverages, but the Strawberry Lemonade was calling to me. It was super fresh and delicious - yum! I started off my dinner with their monthly soup special which was a three potato soup with yukon gold, red, and sweet potatoes.
This soup was awesome... totally awesome.
Perhaps it was because I was still recovering from being out in the wind for the past hour, but this soup was so warming and palatable. The chicken broth really took on the sweet flavor from the sweet potato, and overall it was just a wonderfully comforting soup. Even thinking about it now has my mouth watering!
For my main dinner I went with the Shrimp and Scallops with Creamy Corn Polenta. If I had to pick one word to describe this meal, I would have to say "fresh". This dinner was gorgeously presented (again, sorry for no pictures), and was extremely vibrant in fresh vegetable color. The scallops were cooked perfectly, as was the zucchini, tomato, and squash. My only complaint (and I'm not sure you could even call it that), was that the polenta really lacked flavor. Regardless, I left completely satisfied.
If you're looking for fresh, healthy, and sustainable food, my top recommendations go out to Good Earth! I will most definitely be back soon!
