Local Love: Boards and Baskets

Locally owned + curated by Chef Alex Karlinski of Harvest Roaring Fork

They say you eat with your eyes first, and nowhere does that feel more true than Chef Alex's beautiful and elegant Charcuterie Boards and Baskets. What makes her creations so special? Variety. Flavor. Love.

A plethora of colors, flavors and textures - sweet and salty, crunchy and soft. Alex always sources the best ingredients (Colorado local, organic, grass-fed and seasonal whenever possible), makes most everything from scratch, and doesn’t compromise on quality. These boards traditionally contain meats and cheeses, but you could also choose to load it up with bright veggies and fruits and our favorite vegan brands to build a beautiful charcuterie board around delicious plant-based foods.

It makes the perfect picnic, apres ski snack, holiday platter or no-cook dinner for two. A little sweet, a little savory and served with lots of love.

Product Love: Propolis Throat Spray

By Beekeeper’s Naturals

Looking for an all-natural way to ward off the common cold and flu? Meet this Propolis Throat Spray from Beekeeper’s Naturals, your natural immune booster in a bottle! Bee propolis, known as “bee glue”, is a sticky substance produced by bees. Its natural components provide numerous health benefits, which include:

Anti-inflammatory
Antioxidant
Antimicrobial
Immune boosting
Wound healing

Bees use this propolis as protection for the entrance to their hives to help keep out germs, dirt and harmful bacteria, which is how this throat spray works! It prevents germs from getting in through your airway while also giving you an immune boost from additional vitamins and minerals. Beekeeper’s Naturals products are made from sustainably harvested “superfoods” made by the bees so you can enjoy the natural health boosting ingredients straight from the hive!

These easy to pack, eco- friendly spray bottles are essential for anyone who exercises, speaks often, travels, or just needs some added immune support. We love it!

Recipe Love: Creamy Cauliflower Wild Rice Soup

By Deryn Macey of Running On Real Food

We are so happy that our TF Chef, Tess W. Strokes discovered our new favorite recipe from Running On Real Food!

What is better than a warm bowl of creamy cauliflower soup on a cool fall evening? It has a nutty, cheesy flavor and luxuriously creamy texture with tender bites of cauliflower, carrot and wild rice. This comforting Plant-based cauliflower soup is filling and hearty enough to satisfy even the hungriest of appetites.

Cauliflower is loaded with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants like Vitamin C, Vitamin K, Vitamin B6, Folate, Pantothenic Acid, Potassium and Manganese. And guess what? Cauliflower is also a good source of plant-powered protein.

Garlic adds medicinal benefits to this soup, ranging from it's antibacterial and anti-fungal properties to healing the body with antioxidants. Garlic is great for helping boost your immune system - making it a powerful and flavorful way to spice up any meal.

We love this soup served with a squeeze of lemon, toasted pepitas and a sprinkle of fresh chives or scallions. Pair it with a hearty piece of crusty bread, and you have the makings for a very happy belly.
