I am finally posting “part one” of our Big Southwestern Road Trip from last fall. No, I haven’t been lazy, it’s taken me this long to go through the 2500+ photos that I took on our great journey. Wow! We saw some amazing scenery. The United States of America offers some of the most spectacular vistas that
Homemade Peach Galette
A couple of weeks ago when my Palisade peaches arrived, I was on an all-out frenzy making things with peaches. I decided that a Homemade Peach Galette would be a fun thing to make with all peaches. Galette is a French term to refers to a flat, freeform, crusty cake or pastry. They are relatively
Smoked Salmon Vegetable Spread
I hope that you enjoyed last weeks photo tour of the Ultimate Summer Road Trip! Now let’s get back to recipes! This week’s Smoked Salmon Vegetable Spread was a creation that I made on our travels with some beautifully smoked salmon that I picked up along with extra veggies that I had in the refrigerator. It ended
The Ultimate Summer Road Trip
First off! I’m home and ready to get back to my normal routine of writing recipes, posting on my blog, walking the dogs, tennis and oh yeah.. my day job selling houses! Four weeks away is forever especially with the limited cell phone and internet coverage! It’s all good though. I learned that the world
Asian Chicken Shiitake Mushroom Burgers
So this weeks craving is courteous of my tennis partner. She mentioned a couple weeks ago that she was craving Asian food and only likes “chicken” burgers and not “turkey” burgers! She also mentioned that she would like shiitake mushrooms and water chestnuts in the burger as well. Well, Marcy, you got your wish. Big and juicy Asian

Green Chili Stuffed Peppers
Yippee! It’s green chile season again in Colorado! I am so excited even though I have missed the first few weeks because of my travel schedule. It’s all good though because now I can immerse myself in the delectable, seasonal goodness! I am so happy! A couple of weekends ago, I worked a chili fest
Cacio e Pepe
One of the things that I couldn’t wait to make when I got back from Italy was Cacio e Pepe. This overly delicious pasta is the easiest dish to make! It only has 4 ingredients! Cacio e Pepe seriously means “cheese and pepper” or in other terms, Italian mac and cheese! I saw Cacio e Pepe on just
World’s Greatest Simple Ham Sandwich
Well, I’m back from my trip and a little jet lagged from a giant European adventure! Our trip started out in Barcelona, Spain. What an interesting town. It’s different other cities in Europe as it’s quite large and directly on the coast. I must say that seeing all the yachts was quite cool. We visited
Locro de Papa (Ecuadorian Potato Cheese Soup)
Well, I’m back from summer camp. Er, I mean the Galapagos Islands and Ecuador. A life long dream and bucket list adventure has come and gone. My head is full of amazing sites and experiences that are hard to explain if you haven’t done them yourself. I’ll try and give a brief synopsis of my
