Best ever Creamed Onion Gratin – Saveur Magazine, October 2011
I know a lot of people who when they hear the word “brussel sprouts” they think about a soggy or mushy, green vegetable. WRONG, when cooked right these delicious vegetables can be the queen side dish of any party. We found this tangy and sweet version that is sure to be the hit with your guests & family. Check out this recipe for Roasted Brussel Sprouts with Cranberries and Balsamic Vinegar.
Who doesn’t LOVE burgers. They are the staple of most every “all American” Barbecue. This vegetarian version from greenkitchenstories.com is one of the best we’ve ever seen and more importantly, ever tasted! Fresh and unbelievably meaty (with no meat). This is an exciting a SUPER fresh version of the American classic, vegan style. Portobello Peach Burger is to die for!
Infectious giggle? Check. Crazy work ethic? Got it. Passion for event planning? All over it! Total score for us that our newest team member, Ryann Hastings is the total package. A recent grad from the Hospitality & Tourism Management program at SDSU, Ryann not only dresses super cute everyday but incorporates that sophisticated eye for style into her event design.
Who knew the topic of food allergens/dietary lifestyles could be so compelling, but Tracy Stuckrath with Thrive Meetings and Events not only makes sense of it, but even makes learning about it fun!
