More Chocolate-Covered Strawberries

by Brittany Mohr

Last week, we posted a chocolate-covered strawberries recipe from Pinterest, and this week, another SacFoodie shares her version of this classic, sweet treat! Chocolate Covered Strawberries I’ll be the first to admit it – I don’t spend as much time in the kitchen as I’d like to. But let’s be honest, with only 24 hours [...]

Snickerdoodle Cake with Brown Sugar Buttercream

by Kim Bedwell

Ever since I got my first Betty Crocker Boys & Girls Cookbook, I’ve been addicted to baking. I took kids cooking classes, entered cookies and cakes in the county fair and became the primary baker in our house at the ripe old age of nine. I’ve brought this love of baking into my adult life, [...]

An Easy Valentine’s Day Treat: Chocolate-Dipped Strawberries

by Tracy Tierney

I’ve never been one to go overboard on Valentine’s Day, so fancy dinner reservations and expensive gifts are out for me. That’s why when I recently spotted chocolate-dipped strawberries on Pinterest (speaking of which, did you know the SacFoodies are on Pinterest?), I was inspired (and hungry). The Pinterest photo led me to a super [...]

Lemon Angel Pie

by Kim Bedwell

As a young girl growing up in Salinas, Calif., one of my favorite things to do was visit the John Steinbeck House. Not only is it the residence (and birthplace – yes, he was born in the house) of one of our country’s greatest writers, but it’s also a delightful restaurant as well. Open Tuesday [...]

In a pinch for a pie? Try TreyBcakes.

by Kris Caputo Hurley

I admit it, I cheated. We were supposed to make a recipe from scratch for the 3rd annual SacFoodies potluck. I had full intensions of baking the apple pie when I signed up on the kitchen white board. What’s more all-American the apple pie, right?  I thought I was brilliant. But the potluck was on [...]

Gooey Butter Cookies

by Maria Chacon Kniestedt

On a recent trip to St. Louis, I sampled some Gooey Butter Cake. Well, if I’m being honest, I did more than sample it – I couldn’t stop eating it! I had forgotten how unbelievably delicious this cake is. As its name implies, Gooey Butter Cake is a gooey confection that’s both buttery and sweet. [...]

Red, White, and Blue Trifle

by Christine Schunk

During the past year I’ve experimented with making a couple trifles. My weakness for custard is what originally got me intrigued, and I’ve found that they are always a crowd pleaser! For our “All American” potluck I knew I couldn’t go with the traditional trifle, since, well… it’s not American!  But when I came across [...]

Chocolate Mocha Icebox Cake

by Lauren Walsh

You can’t get more All-American than chocolate chip cookies but I knew better than to bring something so basic to a potluck party full of foodies, so I made Ina Garten’s delicious chocolate mocha ice box cake that brings a whole new meaning to chocolate chip cookies. This cake is super easy to make at [...]

Off the Grid, San Francisco

by Brittany Mohr

Normally, when one hears the phrase “off the grid,” it’s in the context of technology-less, remote destinations or hideaways. But when you hear it on the streets of San Francisco, “Off the Grid” has a much different meaning; one of ethnic food, inevitable over-indulgence and a vibrant social scene. Off the Grid is self-described as [...]
