Bluesfest has come to an end for another year. There was some OK food. One has to be open minded and/or make polite creative suggestions like the loaded hot dog on chips. Or you can bring you own food, like I did with the chicken salad (recipe posted below).
As a seasoned (pun intended) veteran of this festival, I have a few observations...The big acts are getting bigger. The cool acts are getting cooler. The food quality is the same. The drink selection is Molson and affiliates. There's a fashion truck this year! Fun.
This recipe for my Banana Smoothie is really inexpensive and deliciously satisfying, high in fibre and really energizing. It's totally customizable with whatever toppings you could have on hand and all you need is a blender. This is a go-to snack for me.
Last weekend was the Live the Smart Way Expo. I was lucky enough to have worked with holistic nutritionist Kathy Smart, the Expo's host, during the filming of the first ever North American gluten-free cooking show as one of the food stylists.
Having been there for only a week, it's hardly appropriate to name this blog 'Best of' as the food scene in San Francisco is incredibly diverse! I'm sure I've only scratched the surface (for example, I didn't make it to Slanted Door or Greens).
