We've been trying out some cool recipes from the "Whole Deal", Whole Foods buying guide full of recipes and lots of coupons. I thought you could only get these in-store, but the online version is exactly the same, along with a link for the coupons.

P.S.: If you like feta cheese, you may want to add a little extra ;) - Ken
