Stinky, boring, or even worse, healthy. Poor brussels sprouts – they get such a bad rap! When I found myself perusing the grocery store aisle on Thanksgiving morning after receiving a last-minute request for an extra dinner side dish, this often over-looked veggie came to the rescue for me. After witnessing this quick and beyond-easy [...]
One of the best side dishes is this colorful fall medley of vegetables, sautéed in butter and lightly flavored with fresh sage. My mother-in-law makes this wonderful succotash every Thanksgiving – and my only complaint is that there are rarely any leftovers to partake of post-feast! She found this recipe ages ago in Martha Stewart [...]
Beginning today, Revolution Wines, Midtown Sacramento’s only urban winery, will be raising a glass to its new digs on 2831 S Street. The 5,600 square foot facility houses the winery’s entire winemaking process – from crush to bottle, and features a new indoor/outdoor tasting room and bistro with food by Executive Chef Simone McKinley. Grand [...]

There’s just something about stuffing. I rarely, if ever, eat it except during the holidays. So, when it comes into fashion around Thanksgiving, I make sure to get my fill of this delicious, savory concoction. One of the best stuffing recipes I’ve ever tasted is from a former SacFoodie, Alison Colarossi. She shared this recipe [...]
Not only am I a huge fan of Mexican food, but I also love taking trips to San Francisco, so when my friend decided to have her birthday party at Tortilla Heights I was there in an instant! Tortilla Heights is located in San Francisco with a menu loaded with delicious Mexican cuisine. Since there was [...]
I rarely make it up the hill to El Dorado Hills, but I’d heard from a number of different people that I needed to venture out and try Sienna, a newish, beautiful restaurant in El Dorado Hills. Recently, I did just that. We hosted a baby shower in the Coriander Room of Sienna – a [...]
It’s funny how a rainy Sunday afternoon can cause one to bake. Yesterday I started off with a (very disappointing) loaf of pumpkin bread … but let’s not go there. I soon decided that dinner had to be something ooey, gooey and baked in the oven. With a wedge of smoked cheddar cheese in the [...]
If you haven’t noticed from past posts, we’re big fans of The Food Network’s Diners, Drive-ins and Dives . I must admit that I live vicariously through Guy Fieri and his ventures to the nation’s lesser-known restaurant gems. So, when I heard that Guy would be making a visit to Midtown’s very own Golden Bear [...]
