Minimalism. Mindfulness. Munchies.
It’s been a good week. In fact, an amazing week. Of eats. Good eats, that is! Amazing enough to make me think I might be a kitchen manic-depressive. I’d been in a months-long slump and then WHAM! suddenly I was on fire and motivated (obsessed?) again. In the space of one week I cooked...
Yes, you read that right! Your Laughing Lemon Ladies will be live and in-store, cooking locally grown and raised products at the Whole Foods Market in Bradburn (Westminster, just a hair east of 120th & Sheridan) this summer.

There are a whole host of services that aim to make getting a healthy home-cooked dinner on the table a whole lot easier. I recently...
Braised lamb shanks with advieh on a bed of sabzi polo with dill and saffron and mast-o-khiar with rose and mint. That’s what we had for dinner tonight. How about you? Ok, so this isn’t a post just to brag — I certainly would never have cooked this without the prompting of Raw Spice...
There is still a LOT of snow on the ground here in Colorado, but I’m dreaming of peaches. Plums. Strawberries picked from the field. Tart red cherries and rhubarb. Basically, summer. In service of my everlasting goal to make eating healthier a little easier, I thought I’d round up a list of recipes that...
