Lefse with Cured Salmon

Lefse with Cured Salmon

Annnnnnd we’re back with Lefse with Cured Salmon! Thank you all for being so patient during our wedding hiatus!  March 3rd, 2018 was a beautiful day and we are cherishing our many memories. Devin has fewer memories than me because he danced the night away with me and a bottle (or a few) of wine. We can’t wait to share our special day with you all and hope in the next couple of months we can…

Pork Pot Stickers with Sweet and Sour Sauce

Pork Pot Stickers with Sweet and Sour Sauce

Gluten Free Pork Pot Stickers with Sweet and Sour Sauce! Are you mouths drooling? Well, they should! If you are gluten-free then you know how limited our gluten-free Chinese food options are. The first time I ever had Chinese flavors was in 2006 when I visited a PF Changs and to this day PF Changs is the only option that I know of. Can you imagine one Chinese restaurant for the rest of your life?…

Greek Turkey Burgers with Tzatziki Sauce

I’ll admit it, every January I join the healthy bandwagon and pledge my life to eating better and going to the gym. Now, I haven’t visited the gym yet…but I have started to eat healthier! I count this as a huge win during the first month of 2018. I was really craving a greasy burger the other day but I decided to try out a Greek turkey burger with tzatziki sauce instead. Around the holiday time,…

Shrimp Cocktail Crackers

New Year’s Eve is a time to wear sparkles, drink champagne and feel fancier than you actually are. If you need a last minute appetizer to impress for your NYE party tonight, I recommend making Shrimp Cocktail Crackers! Your friends will be so amazed and think put in a lot of time and effort when you haven’t. This is also an appetizer you can prep once at the party or let people build their own!…

Creamy Tuscan Garlic Chicken

Hope everyone had a Happy Holiday season! I can’t believe it’s almost been a year since our last Europe trip when I fell in love with the Tuscany region in Italy. Devin and I visited for the first time this past January and we fell so much in love we are going back to Florence for our Honeymoon! Beyond excited to visit again. I think I personally love this area of Italy because the landscape and…

Basic Carnitas

Happy Carnitas Saturday! Today is crazy windy in Sacramento and it looks like the Pocahontas weeping willow in front of our house is dancing to techno music. Needless to say, I’m loving it. Here in California, we don’t experience much il-weather so anytime we do it’s quite the conversation starter!  I’m sure our midwest and east coast readers are rolling their eyes right now… Due to the weather,…

Mini Stuffed Mushrooms

Devin here! Katie told me to come up with a creative appetizer and of course, I couldn’t just think of one, so I decided to make two different mini stuffed mushrooms. The first recipe is mashed potato stuffed mushrooms with a garlic drizzle sauce and the second is an Italian pork sausage with mozzarella stuffed into the cap. Normally mashed potatoes are the bain of my existence, and I can never…

Homemade Hard Cider Vinaigrette

This week on DAM Good Drinks we are going to show you how to repurpose your favorite hard cider as a salad dressing! I love making homemade salad dressings and I think they make a great impression on any guest. I still have not mastered a ranch that I prefer over Hidden Valley Ranch but one day with lots of love and practice I will create my perfect recipe. Last week we reviewed Golden State…

Asian Style Sweet Potato Salad

Asian Style Sweet Potato Salad

I love potato salad. I feel like Oprah when she shouts “I LOVE BREAD” but obviously I would never shout I love bread. That’s just silly. Back to the point of the post: Potato salad is simply the best side food. It’s filling, soft, cold, different textures, full of mayo, goes with any main dish, etc. Why I’m not serving it at my wedding I don’t know! Perfection in my opinion. The other day I was…

Halloween Jell-O Shots 

Jell’OOOOoOOOOOOOOOo Shots (in ghost voice). That is what Devin wanted to name this post! So happy I get to marry this guy. Happy DAM Good Drink Wednesday! I thought I would bring it back to our college days and make some Jell-O shots. I don’t know why Halloween makes me reminisce about Jello-O shots but I’ve always craved these every year. To help prepare you all for the holiday house party…

Pasta Queen Spinach Pesto Pasta

Pasta Queen Spinach Pesto Pasta

Fresh gluten-free pasta is hard to find, so to my delight when I was walking around midtown Sacramento on Saturday I stumbled upon the farmers market. Let’s set the scene; I just got my haircut so I was feeling pretty gorgeous (as I should), I decided to try to walk home which is about 10 blocks, I find a farmers market on my way home and the first booth has fresh gluten-free pasta. I don’t know…

Chocolate Chip Banana Bread Muffins

Chocolate Chip Banana Bread Muffins

2017 has been my year of forcing myself to eat foods I normally do not eat. Every Friday my work sets out veggies and I force myself to eat 3 grape tomatoes. Yes, I dunk them in hummus or ranch but at least I’m trying! My coworkers are very proud of me. Another fruit I avoid is bananas. I have an abnormal amount of opinions on bananas and have always considered bananas a selfish fruit.  Add…

Blood Orange Apple Rosè Sangria 

Happy Hump Day! Every Wednesday I want to try to post a new drink that will either get you through the middle of the week or give you the inspiration to try over the weekend. Let’s call this weekly post DAM Good Drinks. Not all drinks will have alcohol but most will because of life. Up in Sacramento, we have a tiny area of delicious delight. Locals and tourists know this area as Apple Hill…

Baby Elote

Hooray! We are back. So much has happened since May. Devin and I decided to take a brainstorming break from DAM Good Food to focus on our wedding. Now that all of our big vendors are booked and organized we feel comfortable diving back into our favorite hobby.  One vendor, we cannot wait to experience on our wedding day is our caterer, Farm to Table Catering. Naturally, Devin and I have so many…
