I’m kinda embarrassed to admit this, but one of the main reasons I’ve avoided roasting beets is because they seem so messy! Dyed hands. Dyed cutting board. Not appealing. I am so dumb! There was nothing remotely difficult about this. The clean up was just as easy as the prep. Take my word for it. Ok? Cool. Roasted root veggies du jour: butternut squash, beet, sweet potato, celeriac (?) Pre-heat oven to 400. Chop veggies. Coat in olive oil and fresh herbs (I used rosemary, thyme, & sage <— from my garden!), plus salt… Read more >

Here are some products I’ve tried lately. Some were bad, some were okay, some were good, and some were awesome. So I figured I’d share. I have no affiliation with any of these companies. These are simply my honest opinions. 1. Choc & Nut spread. This is a vegan version of Nutella. I first came upon this French company at Expo West and after one bite I was hooked.

And as painful as it was to get up at 5 to work out before hitting the road, it turned out to be WELL WORTH it. That’s the scene we avoided (source). The grapevine was snowing the entire time we were driving through, and just after we made it out, highway patrol blocked it off. Our friends were just a couple of hours behind us and had to be re-routed to the 101. And they were the… Read more >

Up to this point in the weekend, the food at the festival had been good. Just good. Not great. Nothing had wowed me. In other words, I was still waiting to go gaga over something. In spite of this, I strutted into the Ferry Building with my chin up high. Brush that dirt off yo shoulder. Having seen the menu beforehand, my expectations weren’t high. In fact, I was a bit nervous about how vegan-izable the meals would be. Especially given the minimal veg-friendly options available at the previous Foodbuzz events. From left to right… Read more >
