You’ve been to SALT the Bistro, right? In Boulder? Super yummy? Where Tom’s Tavern used to be, at the west end of the Pearl Street Mall? SALT has long been a remarkable place for its very Boulder farm-to-table focus, but now Chef Bradford Heap is pushing further forward – pioneering a GMO-free restaurant. The Daily...

Several years ago, Mark Bittman started putting out astonishing lists of 101 recipes (no more than a sentence or two each!) and I started printing them out, putting them in my recipe notebook, and referring to them often for inspiration. So, when I started doing the Whole30, of course, I went back and looked...
It started with my impending birthday, and the desire to make a chocolate cake for myself. Simple, right? But how do you decide which chocolate cake recipe to make when you have amassed a collection of 67 chocolate cake recipes? Uh…not so simple. And so the quest for the best chocolate cake recipe evolved...
I had come across Whole30 a while back and dismissed it out of hand as being one of those crazy radical extreme diets I always swore I’d never do. In late July, I saw a fashion blogger I follow, Wardrobe Oxygen, was doing it, and I was intrigued again. I went to the Whole30 site...

Happy Summer! Some would argue that fall is right around the corner, but I’m lucky to be able to ignore that for a few more days. Between camping trips, visits with family, and vacation we’ve been quite busy – but never too busy to eat well! Here are some highlights from our kitchen this...
When a new restaurant/brewery opened up this close to my house (under 5 miles!), you know I couldn’t wait to try it out. It’s in an unassuming little strip mall, but don’t let that put you off. Friendly atmosphere, good beer and pretty good pizza make this a fun hangout. I’ll definitely be back to...
