Atascadero High and Paso High Boosters throw Big Bash!
This Saturday, November 6th, the Paso Robles and Atascadero Boosters hold their annual Boosters BBQ and Pep Rally at high noon at Paso Robles the Food For Less. Once a year these groups join forces to benefit the athletic programs at both schools. They expect to serve over 3000 meals this year and all the food is generously donated by Food For Less. Parents and students do all of the work, marching bands and cheerleaders provide entertainment and atmosphere! It is also a chance to meet the mayors of both Paso and Atascadero, County Supervisors, coaches and………….most importantly…….the worth high school sports teams that are enhanced by the event. So come on out and get a great lunch, see some of the excitement and know that you are doing a little bit more for kids in your community!

Fun for Foodies in Templeton
Promising myself that I would experiment with cooking more fresh and interesting foods, I headed into Nature’s Touch Market in Templeton. It all started with a glass of wine at 15Degrees Wine Bar (near Trader Joe’s) and a yummy tapa of blistered shishitos sweet peppers – tasty, simple and good for you! To my delight, Natures Touch now has added Windrose Farms produce inside this foodies’ paradise. Not only can you find fun things to cook but help with your experiments in the way of cook books, suggestions and - my favorite - Chaparral Gardens tasty (guiltless) vinegars. The most helpful Gail H suggested a couple of recipes and I spotted a couple she had posted for some of their less common produce and I couldn’t help but try them all. My version of the shishitos peppers was a big hit at a friends house for dinner later in the week. Make a trip to this wonderful food emporium…….you will not be dissappointed!

New Atascadero Restaurant
Atascadero has a new restaurant that gets this foodie’s vote! Fig or Fig Good Food – a tiny place with big flavors. Cute place with a few tables inside and then some outside seating, both front and back. All dishes looked wonderful but my choice was the ‘Frenchie’ sandwich that has a surprising combo of fig chutney, brie, greens on foccaccia (heated – sort of pannini style – to my thinking). Yum, quite memorable and well done up for not a huge amount of cash. They have homemade dishes including take out/eat in rotisserie chicken, pasta dishes, assortment of main dish or side salads, soups, and inviting deserts……..a bit of everything. It’s just down Traffic Way a block or so from the Carlton and is co-owned by two very nice people who are friends that are married to different people – Greg Perello and Christine Dillow. Try it but only during the week from 11 – 7. And if the thought of what to cook for dinner brings you to your knees, just stop by on the way home for their take out chicken with some wild rice or herb roasted potatoes…..heaven after a long day! One more plus for those of us who are thinking green……their plasticware is biodegradable!
