Like many people, when I think of Barnes & Noble, I think of books. When it comes to their food, I’ve been known to enjoy a latte or a cookie, but not much more… until now. Last weekend my husband and I went to the Palladio at Broadstone to check out The Kitchen, a beautiful… Continue reading kitchen at palladio

The Sacramento Food Film Festival is almost here! For those people who love food and movies (really who doesn’t??), it’s the perfect combo. The dates for the 2018 festival are April 14th and April 21st. There is also the Opening Night Film Screening on April 11th, but that has already sold out (as I mentioned,… Continue reading Sacramento Food Film Festival
Plant Based Diet for Beginners
Plant based diet for beginners, like the one my husband and I have been doing, can be a little tricky. What can you eat other than fruits and veggies? How do you cut out dairy? The whole concept can be a little overwhelming. I’m in the midst of sorting it all out, principally because my husband and… Continue reading Plant Based Diet for Beginners
Plant-based Diet
What is it like to go on a plant-based diet for a month? Well, I’m in the middle of that very experiment right now. On March 1, my husband and I decided to give this whole plant-based thing a go. And right off the bat, you’ll notice I said plant-based, not vegan. The difference? Nothing… Continue reading Plant-based Diet
Punch Bowl Social Sacramento
Punch Bowl Social Sacramento has so much more than amazing food. Recently I checked out this restaurant/bar/bowling alley/billiards/gaming mecca. First off, if location is everything, this place is gold. It’s within the Sawyer Hotel building and an anchor restaurant in DOCO. For those not familiar, DOCO, stands for Downtown Commons. It’s the area surrounding the Golden… Continue reading Punch Bowl Social Sacramento
Dine Downtown Sacramento
The three words “Dine Downtown Sacramento” instantly makes me happy. This annual event is hosted by the Downtown Sacramento Partnership and spans across ten days. During this time, more than 30 restaurants in the downtown/midtown Sacramento area offer amazing 3-course meals for just $35 a person. Now that is hard to beat. This year’s Dine… Continue reading Dine Downtown Sacramento
Relationship With Food
My relationship with food has had its ups and down. Over the years, I’ve been obsessed with eating AND obsessed with not eating. I’ve felt guilty about eating the things I really love while also being bored with most of the things I know I should eat. And for some reason, I’ve worried about going hungry more than is reasonable… Continue reading Relationship With Food
Collagen Peptides
Adding collagen peptides into your diet is a great way to take care of your body from the inside out. So what’s the deal with these collagen peptides and why do they seem to be popular all of the sudden? As you know, collagen is found in a lot of skin care products. … Continue reading Collagen Peptides
Cutting Calories While Injured
I’m not sure what’s worse- being injured or cutting calories while injured. As someone who loves food, it’s a total tossup. As I mentioned last week, I’m currently nursing a stress fracture I got while training for my upcoming marathon in June. Fortunately, I can still do some physical activity, like spin and strengthen… Continue reading Cutting Calories While Injured
Year Round Farmers Market
Farmers’ markets in the winter are a totally different scene than in the summer. Anyone who has been to a farmers’ market over the past couple of months knows exactly what I’m talking about. This weekend, after what seemed like endless rain in Sacramento, we had a sunny Saturday and Sunday. It was… Continue reading Year Round Farmers Market
