One part opportunity, one part spontaneity, whip vigorously
I hope everyone had an amazing time dressing up this past weekend. I went as Julia Child and I must say it was one of my most favorite costumes. I slept in sponge rollers like I used to when I was a kid to get really curly hair I could just pin down to make the…
In honor of the World Series I am sharing my 9x9x9 challenge experience. What is the 9x9x9 challenge? Nine hotdogs and nine beers in nine innings. You can find the rules here! Did I complete it? Did I barf on the crowd? Was it so easy I ate an extra hotdog? Watch below to find out!…
At my work we get really into Halloween and it is a big competition. Each team dresses up and puts on a skit to really deliver the costume and give it some explanation. This year we were Colorado Monuments (my office is located in Denver in case you were wondering). We were: DIA Airport DIA…

I decided to make something for breakfast and dessert when we went camping in Telluride in August (Telluride post to follow). I wanted to bake something…
Sunday I brought out my large-and-in-charge dutch oven to make one of my favorite soups— Italian wedding soup! This recipe is from the amazing Ina Garten and therefore obviously creates an incredible soup that is so flavorful and hearty. I would also suggest making it a few hours before serving so it has time to sit and the…
Oktoberfest is in full swing right now! It is currently day 14 of Oktoberfest in Munich and there are two days left.
