I’m super excited to announce that now ALL of the Laughing Lemon Pie family of infoproducts are pay what you wish! I realized that price might be a barrier for some people to getting the information you need to lead a healthier life and feed your family well on a budget, so I’ve eliminated...
Boozy Desserts in Denver (and at Home!)
There’s just something about summer that makes boozy desserts sound awesome—or is that just me? Sangria, popsicles, trifle with a splash of cointreau… Let’s face it: alcohol and desserts go together like watermelon and summertime! If you want to get really creative, check out what these local places are cooking up for the dessert/drinks course!
Spicy Carrot Dressing
CARROT salad dressing? Vegetables on top of vegetables? How can you beat that? Could this possibly be the world’s most virtuous salad dressing? As if eating a salad weren’t already an act of virtuousness, but then to top your salad with vegetables? Well that puts you on a whole ‘nother plane of righteous eating. Now,...
Balance through Depletion
In other words…Efforts to attain a more Mindful Pantry; Liberation through Reduction; and/or Managing the Well-Stocked Life. How’s that fer #firstworldproblems? I’ve been following the Pantry Challenge over at Good Cheap Eats in an effort to once again be able to see the back of my freezer. But…being a type-A person, it isn’t enough...
Banana Almond Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies (GF, vegan)
Confession: I bought a beautiful bunch of yellow bananas, secretly hoping they’d go brown. You know you have a problem when you pack a banana as a ‘just in case’ snack, while simultaneously knowing full well that it’ll come home uneaten, bruised, and battered. Ah, Perfect! When the brown spots outnumber the yellow you...
Restaurant Report: 5280 Burger Bar & Creamery
I love the trend lately of high end burger joints. The Denver area has its fair share of really great fast-casual burger places—Larkburger and Smashburger come to mind—where you can get a better burger (made from better ingredients) than you could ever dream of at a fast food place. And I am all over...
Lemon Chia Seed Scones
I feel so grateful for the cool mornings in Colorado so that despite the summer heat I can still bake (without my whole house feeling like an oven) if I wake up early enough. Temperatures on the front range can easily change 30-40 degrees in a matter of hours – wake up to 50-60...
Going somewhere? The clear-out-your-fridge Smoothie
Summer is here! Do you have nice big juicy plans for getting the heck out of Dodge? One of my favorite aspects of going away is the chance to re-org and clear out the fridge. Yes, I’m a weirdo. I just love a clean slate, and having a good reason to clean one. So...

Book Review: Keepers
Have you come across Keepers yet?: Keepers: Two Home Cooks Share Their Tried-And-True Weeknight Recipes and the Secrets to Happiness in the Kitchen. It came out last year but…I just now finally got around to putting holds on NPR’s Best-of-2013 book lists. That’s life. What I lack in timeliness I can make up for...
