This weekend while we were having one of “spring snow” storms (the kind that snows one day and it’s gone tomorrow) and I was craving something healthy so I whipped up this Mediterranean Salad. OMG, so good. I had some of my hummus in the fridge, but you could use your favorite store bought version if
Pho
A few weeks back, a client and me stopped for lunch after a morning of looking at homes. We picked a Vietnamese restaurant called Pho Khang in Park Meadows because we were craving soup and it was locally owned. We both prefer that over chain restaurants. So that being said, we ordered Pho (pronounced
Thai Veggie Burger
So I’m kinda digging this food blogging thing. Some pretty cool opportunities are starting to fall into my lap and I love it. Last month I was asked to participate in the Food Blogger Cookbook Swap, hosted by Alyssa of www.EverydayMaven.com and Faith of www.anediblemosaic.com , I sent a cookbook to another food blogger and received
Fettuccine with Lobster and Asparagus Cream Sauce
So last week my friend Lea Ann and me participated in a local, annual Copper Pot chef competition. It’s a fun event that mimics an Iron Chef format. This year’s secret ingredient was “peppers”. Every team gets a table, an electric outlet and a camp stove to make their dish! Yes friends, I said camp
Stuffed Cabbage
While chit-chatting with friends and brainstorming ideas for Russian foods, everyone said make stuffed cabbage. I must have a lot of friends with Eastern European and Russian backgrounds because all their Grandma’s made it when they were kids! Not my Nanna! While I know that I have eaten stuffed cabbage in the past, I don’t
Chicken Kiev
Chicken Kiev, an oldy but goodie! So this has been a sad, sad week in Denver as we have been mourning the Bronco’s loss in the Super Bowl. No one can put their head around how badly the Seahawks killed us. I say this nicely. In my opinion, we lost the game in the first
Black Eyed Pea Soup
Eating black eyed peas on New Years Day will bring you good luck! Well not sure of that, but black eyed pea soup is a hearty and healthy way to start the New Year! I sure needed a good dose of homemade soup after coming off of a great week visiting my brother’s family in
Southwest Chicken Soup
So my gal pals from high school and me decided to skip the 25th reunion and meet someplace fun. We picked Sedona, AZ for a relaxing place to go. Lots of hikes, spa day, hanging by the pool, shopping, food and wine. (Did I say wine)? It was a perfect week in the Southwest.
Carnitas
I love carnitas, it’s in my favorite food department. It’s good all the time. Breakfast, lunch, dinner. On tortillas, on a salad, with eggs, with pasta, mixed in Velveeta (God forgive me) and melted, with salsa, make burritos, enchiladas, the list goes on. Carnitas are the bomb. Period. Carnitas are basically Mexican pulled pork. Slowly
Carbonara Pizza
Carbonara Pizza, yes that’s what I said! Another football fest food! So when we were kids (I’m sure many of you can relate), TV dinners became popular. You know the tin foil dinners with turkey and gravy and those little tiny apple pies that you cooked in the oven and peeled back the foil to
