Most of our time in our neighboring state was spent shopping and eating. We heard about Le Peep from my sister and her hubby. We decided to try it for breakfast on Tuesday. The food and staff were great. Greg had the Stuffed Poblano and I had their Eggs Bene special made with corned beef.
We walked along the boardwalk next to the restaurant and enjoyed the clear views and sunshine. It was early and still on the cool side.
Fortified from our breakfast we tackled several thrift stores, the Chef’s Cash and Carry, At Home, Tractor Supply and Costco. Idaho gasoline is fifty cents less a gallon than Washington. We go to the cash and carry regularly for supplies for our church kitchen. Sales tax is less in Idaho, too, so we took advantage of that for some of our regular purchases.
I did not take any photos at our early dinner at the Blue Bird in Uptown Coeur d’Alene. We both enjoyed the Halibut and Chips (French fries, Hoagies) with the in house tartar sauce and zesty ketchup. One more stop before we called it a night at Seasons where we split a slice of Huckleberry Cheesecake. Back to the hotel for a relaxing evening.
Before we packed up the car (which wasn’t an easy task), we had breakfast again at Le Peep. I had the stuffed french toast and Greg had a Mexican Skillet. Both dishes were delicious! After checking out of the hotel we started our trek back home with stops in Post Falls, Spokane and Deer Park.
Our stop in Post Falls happened to be right next store to another Tea Room I was not aware of and it really had all the tea vibes. It is called La Tea Da. It will be a treat to make some plans to return for tea.
On Thursday at our last session of Winter Bible Study I was informed of another Tea Room in Spokane. This one would be the closest for us to travel to so there might be a tea adventures in the near future at Brambleberry Cottage .
Today, Friday, is a baking day here at our country bungalow with our daughter-in-laws. Tomorrow is Addy’s birthday party. Katie and Andrew are traveling over today. I am and will be very busy with all our kids through the weekend.
Enjoy the weekend and I’ll catch early next week.

Those meals look awesome! Hope you enjoyed your trip. Sound like a wonderful weekend coming up. When our kids were all home I did all our cooking from scratch, even the baking of the bread. Oh what wonderful memories!
Monica, how fortunate for your kids! Thanks for your visit 😊
…it sounds like a busy, good weekend ahead.
Sounds like a great getaway! The views are pretty and the food looks delicious!
Take care, have a wonderful weekend.
Looks like you had a great time. Love the shadow selfie! I don’t think we’ve ever explored Idaho, driven through a few times, but never spent time there. That stuffed french toast looks so good! I rarely make it at home so it’s a treat whenever we go out. Have a great weekend with your family.
Looks like fun and lots of good eats.
Good weather followed you on your lovely adventure. The tea rooms sound exciting to me!

Wonderful food and good company makes for grand memories!
Beautiful family gathering for Birthdays and Easter Week! Happy days to all. Your food always looks so good and you have so much fun preparing it especially when your “girlsl” are there== that was fun to see. Glad you enjoyed your trip to Idaho and I hope you get some good Spring weather by this weekend. (I think I’m commenting on two posts at once here!) Sallie
Sallie, thanks for your two in one! Love it!
