A couple of weeks back I was chatting with one of my tennis gals, Leigh and we were discussing our businesses. Her company is Plum Creek Gourmet which produces yummy fruit and nut bar mixes and natural vanilla sugars. Her nut bar mixes are great because they are all natural and contain no preservatives. You
Apple Bread Pudding with Apple Brandy Sauce
Well, I wasn’t planning on cooking for Thanksgiving this year but our dinner for seven quickly soared to sixteen in the past day! Wow, this is going to be a fun day! Me and my parents, my brother and his family, my Aunt Nancy, old man Cotton, my friends Lauren and Paul and their kiddos
Fireball Whiskey Peach Bread Pudding
Hi All! I hope you are enjoying your Labor Day weekend. I’m still busy “laboring”… Actually after a super busy week showing houses to a great family, we found a wonderful home for them and wrote an offer last night. So now we are in the “sit and wait” period to hear back from the
Guacamole
Yikes! We seriously had four straight days of snowy wet weather or as the weather people say, a “wintery mix”, which is code word for “it sucks” outside. Yep that was pretty much our weekend in Colorado. I got lucky though, I had to show houses all weekend to clients and it’s kinda a fun
Fireball Whiskey Sauce
I’m not sure where I come up with this stuff. Especially a sauce made with whiskey and let alone cinnamon flavored whisky. Heck, I don’t even drink whiskey, which is a good thing…. don’t ask, HA! Anyway, Thursday morning I woke up and was thinking about what to make for my post this week and
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
Grilled Fruit Bruchetta
On a recent “trip” to Downtown Denver (yes it’s a trip, I live 13 miles away, haha), we had lunch at The Kitchen. You know the place. The restaurant that every city in America talks about, the place that you “must” go to because the food is “to die for”. Well, that is The Kitchen
“Drunken” Peaches and Cream Pie
Here is another recipe inspired by a friends Grandma! Who doesn’t like a peach pie right? Well. it’s one of my favorite and it’s peach season in Colorado! Georgia isn’t the only state the produces amazing peaches, it’s really Colorado’s hidden secret! They are grown on the Western Slope and mainly come from the town
Italian Zucchini Soup (Giambotte)
So, as I have probably mentioned in past posts, my garden sucks this year. More weeds than vegetables. We had such a cool rainy spring which made the weeds more happy than the veges! It’s so bad that there are not enough hours in the day to pull them all! Uugh. Anyway, my zucchini plant
Balela (Mediterranean Bean Salad)
I’m having a hard time believing that it’s August already. I swear the older I get the days get shorter and there never seems to be enough time. Who else feels this way? It is what it is and we just gotta deal right? Amidst all the craziness that last week brought, I got to
