Brunch bunch
Heyyyyyyy 
How’s your day going?? Hope you’ve had a lovely day so far!
It’s GLOOMY here in San Fran!
I think the city is sad that Foodbuzz is over, too
This weekend has exceeded all of my expectations. I knew it was going to be incredible and that I’d get to see and meet a lot of blog friends, but had no clue it was going to be quite as awesome. <3 Thank you so much to Foodbuzz for hosting a killer party!
The end of the official events was this morning, at a Nature’s Pride-sponsored brunch.
It was fun to talk to everyone and say goodbyes to those who are leaving today.
Since I was meeting Beth for our own little brunch, I had a little salad to make me hungrier as an appetizer:
(ate the greens, not the croutons)
and half a Vega bar, shared with my roomie:
For brunch, Beth and I dined at Colibri- a glorious Mexican bistro
We started off with table-made fresh guacamole and HOMEMADE corn tortillas
Be still my heart.
It tasted like my childhood. It’s been wayyyyy too long since I’ve had *real* Mexican food and I was so happy
For my entrée, I rolled with the vegetarian omelet with no cheese, refried black beans (!!) and potatoes
It was amazeballs. The omelet with filled with corn, tomatoes, spinach, zucchini, peppers and onion. I topped it with a blob of guacamole and happily stuffed my face
Chatting with Beth was so much fun. I’ve wanted to meet her FOREVER and was so glad she could come hang out for a while. We were too busy gabbing for me to think to take a picture, but she has a blog with pics up of her beautiful new baby if you wanna check it out.
Now we’re off to explore (in the RAIN!) and then meeting some bloggies for dinner.
Hope you have a great night!!
xoxo,
Gina

I hope you enjoy exploring SF! I loveeee guac!
Looks like so much fun! The food photos look so delicious 😀
Hey! I love your blog, it always make eating healthy seem so much more enjoyable. I was wondering if you recommend a certain cookbook for those who are expecting??
thank you!! check out the canyon ranch cookbooks 🙂
My nana’s sopa and velveeta mac ‘n cheese (lol) take me back to childhood! Your meal looks sooo good. I’m going to have to check out that restraunt. The smell of fresh corn tortillas is intoxicating!
I just realized why I thought I could smell the corn tortillas…I have some heating up in the oven, lol!
Nutter butters. Not exactly a “food”..but they always bring me back. 😛
I’m so bummed I didn’t get to say goodbye to you this morning!! Brunch does look great though 🙂 Hope you have a safe trip home and hopefully I’ll see you next week!!
Breakfast foods like eggs/toast or french toase or pancakes remind me of my childhood — those were my dad’s “specialities”.
Enjoy your time in SF!
It def looks like you had an amazing time! I wish I could have been a part of that!
I would have to say that mac and cheese reminds me of my childhood
Chocolate oatmeal no-bake cookies. My mom used to make them all the time and I haven’t had them in years!
Homemade Italian food. <3
so glad you had a great time, got to meet beth, and got your authentic mexican food groove going!
what reminds me of childhood? actually this time of year and just one day of setting the clocks back and it’s feeling dusky and dark-ish at like 4pm (which I don’t like!) but it DOES remind me of my childhood 🙂
So glad you had such a great time!!! That omelet looks amazing!
I’ve never thought to pair guac with an omelet. And with refried beans too? That sounds like a dream combo! 😀
Roast beef dinners remind me of my childhood. We would have them almost every Sunday!
Great pics, looks like the brunch was wonderful and so lucky you can spend another day in the city, I could never get tired of SF. SF brings back a lot of childhood memories for me since I spent a lot of time there as a kid.
I’m nervous about the really purple dress. I just ordered a purple one shoulder from RTR. And now I’m nervous it’s that one!!!
i love fresh guac, and with homemade tortillas that was probably heaven! safe travels back home!
Mexican is by far my favorite cuisine, but comfort foods like roasts and potatoes and baked chicken remind me of my childhood!
That Mexican food looks absolutely amazing!! Glad you had so much fun at the fest:)
I’m happy you had such a great trip Gina! 🙂
Colombian cooking takes me back– particularly rice, beans, arepas, tostones, mmmm. Just the smell of onions and garlic sauteing take me to my grandmother’s kitchen.
I’m so happy that you had REALLY good Mexican food. For me its flank steak, white rice, tuna noodle casserole and mashed potatoes. Real soul-food type stuff that my mom always made. My mom makes the same things every year for Thanksgiving since even before I was born. Now that brings some real nostalgia.
My childhood food memory:
Friday night pizza night. My whole fam together whipping up a fresh batch of dough and enjoying different pizza topping combos each time…pure bliss!
Looks like you had a blasty Gina! All these great US based events I wish I could get to come to!
Thanks for sharing the fun 🙂
Mexican food takes me back, I LOVE it!!!! Looks like an awesome weekend, I have to go next year!

SF looks like it was so much fun! No matter what I am going to foodbuzz next year!
Mmm, all the food looks SO good!
I miss grandmom’s “mole”; it was my favorite when I was a kid.
I also remember those perfumed heart shaped candies.
