You knew this was coming: uggggggggggggggg. Too much wine!!!! I do not do well at events when wine bottles are floating by filling my glass!! My gums are itching with inflammation this morning. For real. But I am still in a glow from last night. What an amazing weekend.
Despite fuming vino, I somehow I still managed to meet Tina, Shannon + Quinn in the lobby for a short morning run. Can I say it again? I’ve never regretted a workout!
We did a chipper 3.5 miles. There was much less chatter than yesterday’s run!
A little pre-run fuel courtesy of my swag bag from Toad Hollow Farm!
I had just enough time to shower and pack up and Jenna and I went in search of her car and then the farewell brunch. It was quite stressful, but we arrived ready to eat a whole loaf of Nature’s Pride.
The brunch was incredible. Everything was so fresh!!
Panzanella with Nature’s Pride 12-Grain Bread
A Pear + Kerrygold Blue Cheese Salad
Frittata with Aged Cheddar, Whiskey and Wild Mushrooms
Nature’s Pride Nutty Oat French Toast
Pear Compote & Whipped Cinnamon Butter!!
I had a taste of everything – and it all tasted SO GOOD!
And had a second plate of salad and another mini sandwich. Couldn’t get enough of the pear + blue cheese!!!
I passed on the bloody mary bar :mgreen:
One last goodbye from Ryan The Girl – Foodbuzz superstar!!
A huge thank you to Foodbuzz for a smashing weekend and to Bertolli Sauce for sending me in style!!
To Sonoma we go!
[Blogging at 4:25 PM and we're just now having lunch // dinner!? Will probably have a backlog of posts, but don't worry – LOTS of awesome footage to come!!!]

The pear compote with whipped cinnamon butter sounds incredible!
It all looks delicious!
Oh my gosh I’m so jealous! It all looks so good and it looks like you had such a blast
Leave it to Foodbuzz to put on a spectacular event!! Safe trip home Kath!
That whipped cinnamon butter looks to die for! Actually, all the food you had this weekend looked to die for!
What a great experience!!!
I’ve been reading KathEats a few times a week for a year. I enjoy the meal postings and discussions of health and fitness.
But the unquestioned extravagance and waste evident at the Foodbuzz conference really bothered me. In a time when nearly 11% of adults and 17% of adults face food insecurity (1), and when 10% of Americans are out of work, it just seemed kind of gross. I enjoy food as much as the next person, but I sure wish all that effort, money, and enthusiasm could go toward better food-related causes.
