ROJO’S MEXICAN FOOD
📍217 James St.
Pioneer Square, Seattle

After missing Rojo’s pop up at Pike Place Market for months, Daniel and his team were secretly scheming and were able to land a brick and mortar in downtown Seattle! What’s even better is that they ditched the cheese and the menu is now 100% plant based and vegan 🤘🏽🌱

The menu consists of street tacos, burritos, tortas, rice and beans, and beverages like house made horchata. Pictured here are the carne asada, carnitas, and Al pastor tacos, which were all delicious!

Keep Rojo’s in mind the next time you find yourself downtown- maybe before a baseball game or soccer match or concert at WAMU!

PS: did you know you can bring in a wrapped burrito into the Mariners games? 🤯😍 thanks for the tip, 🙌🏽

Let’s talk science👩🏼‍🔬🧬🧪

Lately I’ve been reading and listening to podcasts all about the microbiome- specifically, the gut microbiome. It’s the diverse community of good (and bad) gut bacteria that live inside of us.. up to 100 trillion of them! 🤯

We are still scratching the surface in this area of science, but essentially the jist is this: humans have evolved along with these good gut microbes for centuries. They help break down our food into beneficial nutrients, and they help produce roughly 80% of our serotonin and 20% of our dopamine! Meaning, what we eat plays a major role in not only our health, but how we feel!

Over the last few decades, though, the biodiversity of our gut (in Western culture at least) has dropped significantly, largely due to our diet. It’s less diverse, it’s low in fiber (the good bacteria LOVE fiber), and it’s super high in sugars and fats that the bad bacteria thrive upon.

How to feed our good gut microbes:

▫️Fiber-rich foods: a wide variety if possible! Aim for about 30 different plants per week. Tip: this includes spices, teas, nuts, and seeds, along with the more obvious fruits, veggies, mushrooms- so 30 is not as difficult as it seems.

▫️Fermented foods: rich in healthy bacteria that benefits our microbiome. Miso, tempeh, vegan kimchi, sauerkraut, and apple cider vinegar are great plant-based options. Try adding at least 1 per day.

▫️Polyphenols: foods rich in these antioxidant compounds protect our bodies against oxidative stress and disease. Matcha, blueberries, dark chocolate, cinnamon, rosemary, and tofu are just a few!

▫️Glucosinolates (um.. what)- think cruciferous veggies like broccoli, cabbage, and Brussels Sprouts.

▫️Omega-3s: flax seeds, chia seeds, walnuts, or an algae-based supplement (I love Terraseed! It’s a vegan multivitamin with algae-based Omega-3s. Use code DARBY50 for 50% off your first order, link in profile).

▫️Dopamine boosting foods: cherries, berries, nuts, seeds, dark chocolate, avocados, and more.

▫️Amino acid rich foods (clean proteins): quinoa, mushrooms, legumes, beans, tofu, oats, and more.

✨WAYWARD IS BACK✨
📍Roosevelt, Seattle

Let’s be honest- the pandemic was so incredibly hard on everyone and everything, including our vegan food scene in Seattle. And losing Wayward really, REALLY hurt…

But thank the vegan gods that the ✨FULLY VEGAN✨ American-style diner is back in business with all the dishes we’ve been missing.

BREAKFAST ALL DAY?? Yes, please! Plus an awesome menu of lunch sandwiches, dinner entrees, and more. Ohhh yeahhhh🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽

I got one of the omelets (amazing) as well as a Crunchwrap as big as my head, and a cinnamon roll for good measure 😋 The new staff is super sweet and accommodating, and it feels good to be back there and have one of Seattle’s most beloved vegan staples back in business🤍

Have you been back yet? Tell me what your favorite Wayward dish is!👇🏽
