Sacramento, California

The capital of California is a gold mine of history—literally. Gold was first discovered in 1848, thirty miles east of Sacramento, making the early days rather lively as the town hosted miners who had hit it big. They were a boisterous bunch, spending their loot on gambling and dance halls. Today, Sacramento is still a hub of activity, shipping and processing fruits, vegetables, rice, wheat and dairy goods from Central Valley. It still maintains some of that old west vibe with its vintage buildings on the riverfront—home to over 100 restaurants. Fine restaurants can also be found sprinkling the rest of the city, offering American, Italian, Mexican, French and California cuisine.

About me:
I'm a single woman who enjoys a variety of activities. Besides cooking, I love to go salsa dancing and am currently taking classes in belly dancing, west coast swing dancing and even fencing. I figure I might as well enjoy life and exercise my mind and body while I am still young enough and healthy enough to do so!

Roasted Vegetables

Reviewed on Dec. 1, 2008 by Brook

This was really good, but mine was nowhere near done after 40 minutes! Maybe my roasting pan was not big enough, as I used a deep pan and it was fairly full. After the first 40 minutes I added foil and left them in for another 20 minutes without stirring, then took the foil off and left them in another 10 minutes. The vegetables had good flavor but I think I will need some time to perfect this recipe. LUCKILY I was told, at the last minute, that you have to remove the rind from the butternut squash (I had never prepared one before)! :)

Sweet Potato Casserole II

Reviewed on Nov. 30, 2008 by KEP4

I myself truly loved this recipe for thanksgiving this year. My oldest son loved it. Not sure about other members of the family. I have one son who is Autistic and is very picky regarding food and texture. I found myself eating it as a dessert it one point. I did find though that the marshmallows on top were a bit chewy if not warmed up again.
