One part opportunity, one part spontaneity, whip vigorously
My mom turned 60 on November 29th of last year. My sister and I brought her out to Denver to stay with us for a weekend to celebrate this grand birthday. With December being busy and the New Year sneaking up on me my mom’s birthday post somehow got pushed aside. But alas it gets…
Christmas for me was all about eating. I know that is pretty standard for everyone when it comes to the holidays, but this year I think I really took it up a notch. Let me explain it to you in a more simple way, in a song (a much shortened song). On the first day…
(Getting ready to put the rotisserie chicken on the grill) The week of Thanksgiving is here and you are freaking out because you don’t know what to do with you sweet potatoes or you are sick of the traditional green bean casserole. Don’t fret I’ve got your back. I have the perfect different sweet potato…
I have yet to post a recipe that is gluten free. I apologize. I have friends who don’t eat gluten or have celiacs so I have no excuse. Ok, not to dwell, this is a pear soft shelled creme tart. I used almond meal/flour and I didn’t notice a big difference. It looked a little…
I love the week/weekend of Thanksgiving. You get your shopping done, prepare you lists and menu and make sure everything is good to go! That is what this week is for me. I will be in Paris for work this Thanksgiving so I will be having my Thanksgiving dinner on Saturday. And though I am…

Not just green and red for Christmas but pilgrim outfits for the day before Thanksgiving and carrying our lunches in baskets or going…
Sunday we decided it was pumpkin carving time. We got dressed up, pilled in the car and headed to the pumpkin patch. As we drove into the dark clouds we decided maybe this isn’t such a good idea. Then the rain came so the pumpkin patch mission was aborted and we instead headed to Walmart…
(Great way to start your day at the office) I just moved into my new apartment this past weekend. Believe it or not this is my first lease that I have ever signed. The past two years I have not signed any leases and only bought what could fit in my car so I…
I have yet to get in the kitchen and make any fall meal; savory or sweet. I am more than embarrassed I am ashamed. I have been so busy contributing for Denver Eater, working, and moving (yes I am moving but not from Denver, just to a different part of Denver) that I let time…
The happy couple 🙂 My sister’s wedding has officially come and gone. We spent an amazing weekend in Napa visiting vineyards, eating amazing local food and of course celebrating my sister and brother-in-law’s wedding. First things first is that they could not have chosen a better city or venue for their wedding. The…
