Let’s just say broccoli has never been my favorite green vegetable; I much prefer green bell peppers, green beans, peas, spinach and even, dare I say, Brussels sprouts. Boiled, steamed, raw or even dipped in ranch dressing, broccoli tastes like dirt to me. Every once in a while, however, I force myself to give certain [...]

On Sunday, September 30, 2012, Ten22 is helping the Southside Art Center celebrate 26 years of supporting adults with disabilities in Sacramento with [...]

For our recent SacFoodies potluck, the group voted for a color category theme – yes, you guessed it, dishes selected by their dominant color, from red, orange, green, purple and brown (for good measure). I took to the web for inspiration and found the perfect recipe for a light, no-cook, orange-colored Shrimp and Mango Salad, [...]
Since the SacFoodies 5th Anniversay Potluck was at my house this year, I needed a recipe that I could prepare in advance and not have to fret over.
