I can’t believe that we are smack dab in the middle of summer. Oh, how time flies especially this summer when things have been so busy, busy, busy! Last week, I hosted a small dinner party that included my parents and my Auntie Debbie who was in town visiting from Brooklyn. I wanted to keep
Jazzed Up Homemade Cranberry Sauce
I’m not sure what is worse! This year that flew by so quick or that ridiculously bad Bronco’s game that I just listened to (I couldn’t watch it was so bad). I’ll tell ya, I have seen better and more exciting high school games. Good thing I took an hour to take the dogs to
Colcannon with Irish Sausage
Colcannon. What the heck is colcannon? Those were my thoughts exactly this week when I was trying to decide what to make in preparation for St. Patrick’s Day! Well, all I can say is that the Irish were up to something delicious when they started making this simple dish. Basically colcannon is mashed potatoes on
Greek Steak Salad
While I was driving out to Chatfield State Park (which is like 10 minuets from my house) this morning, I learned that it is Colorado Day. Who knew? Colorado celebrates it’s birthday on August 1st and this year it happens to be Colorado’s 140th birthday! Wow, I learned something new and a pleasant surprise was that
Mile High Baked Beans
Happy Forth of July weekend everyone! I hope y’all are enjoying it! I sure am. We went to the Paris Street market yesterday, the Cherry Creek Arts festival today and the mountains tomorrow for a hike with the dogs! Of course a couple of backyard BBQ’s are in store! The 4th of July is always one of my favorite
Caesar Salad
Well, well, well… Another year is upon us and all I want to do is eat a salad… Seriously, I’m not sure that I have ever consumed as much red meat as I had this past December! Holy cow. I need a break or at least a time out this week! Back to eating my
Southwestern Turkey Croquettes
I hope you all have had an enjoyable Thanksgiving weekend filled with lots fun with family, friends, food and football! That has been my weekend for sure! Thanksgiving was a lovely day. We had a house full of friends (and dogs), a roaring fire in the fireplace, more food than I could imagine, football games
Pulled Pork & Bacon Jalapenos
Ugh! Sorry that I haven’t posted in a couple of weeks but life happens, right? The real estate business still hasn’t slowed down in Denver and I ain’t complaining! It’s crazy. Six offers on a listing that I put the market Monday morning. We went under contract above asking price. I always feel bad for
Tequila Lime Pasta Salad
This weeks post was inspired by National Tequila day which was Friday. Our tennis team had an extra match this week and we thought it would be fun to make it a theme night for our after match picnic and cocktails. All things tequila! I thought that a tequila lime vinaigrette would be good and
Käsespätzle- Cheese Spätzle
A few weeks back I had a wild hair. So much so that I was on the computer late night, was thinking about my friends in Austria, missing them, they have been bugging me to come out, I found a terrific deal on a plane ticket and sure enough I was in Austria this
