Healthy Holidays: Sugar Rush and Tamale Festivals
Oh, the holidays are upon us, filled with tidings of joy and tons of calorie-tempting delicacies such as Drunken Cake Pops drenched in alcoholic beverages reminiscent of your favorite cocktails, chocolate, and sweet desserts at the weekend Sugar Rush Festival in Orange County. Spend your afternoon tasting cookies, candies, cakes and even frozen bars. See sugarrushoc.com
California’s Hispanic holiday traditions celebrate Christmas tamales this weekend in Oxnard and Indio. At Oxnard Tamale Festival guests compete for best recipe, but mostly they’ll taste the region’s finest. Just like Oxnard, Indio Tamale Festival includes a parade, musical groups on stage and the ultimate in decadence. Try a pumpkin with Jamaican rum tamale, bourbon pork tamale, chocolate cherry tamale, or hundreds more.
Other food related festivals this week include Noe Valley Wine Walk in San Francisco, Livermore’s Holidays in the Vineyards and Calistoga’s Winter in the Wineries Passport Series.
