Minimalism. Mindfulness. Munchies.
Whew! It’s been a whirlwind week of travel for me—which is why this post is a little late in coming! Last week, I told you about a dinner party I held at which each course of the meal corresponded to a course I took from a local shop! We did a cheese course and...
As I mentioned on Monday, last week I held a dinner party at my home to show off my new cooking chops after taking a series of culinary classes at amazing establishments all around Boulder County. My second class—and main course—was a pasta and gnocchi-making class from the amazing Michael Drazsnzak, executive chef at Colterra...
Inspired by Barb at Creative Culinary and several other blogs I’ve been looking at, I thought I would start posting the occasional cocktail recipe, and what better time to do it than just before Friday happy hour? Hey, it’s 5 o’clock somewhere, right? Today’s inspiration and recipe comes from BTown Wine & Spirits in...
Today’s Kitchen is a series of posts documenting my adventures cooking through the recipes from my grandmother’s 1950′s-era cooking show of the same name. These are genuine retro recipes, updated (as needed) for a modern table. Chip Bunburgers. Isn’t that just the best name ever?? I mean, it conjures up all kinds of images...
Whew! I just did my first EVER Google+ Hangout on Air! And it was super easy. Fun times! I can see myself using this more in the near future… This salad is SO fresh and flavorful, and it’s gluten free (as long as you use GF soy sauce and fish sauce). Get the recipe...
{UPDATE!} I’ve made a gluten-free, vegan version of these. And lo, it is awesome. SEE BELOW! Oh my lord. I can’t believe I’m going to put this out on the internet for anyone to see. Have you ever thought to yourself, “I should make some cookies…” purely because you want to eat some cookie...
OMG! I’m so excited! It’s my first-ever VIDEO BLOG! When I was writing my e-book, The Ultimate Guide to Eating Organic on a Budget, I included some of my favorite DIY recipes for things like crock pot beans, easy tomato sauce, and sandwich bread. It took me years—literally, years—to figure out the techniques and...
I wanted my little one to have the joy of a birthday cupcake—without the sugar crash. So I concocted these low-sugar carrot cake cupcakes for her first birthday party from a muffin recipe. They were a big hit with little people and big people alike!
I just adore Indian food, but I’ve never had the courage to try to cook it at home—UNTIL NOW! I was inspired by a recipe for tandoori-style chicken in my Everyday Food magazine recently because it looked awfully easy, not to mention cheap. The recipe calls for a whole chicken, which (since I try...
I don’t think the word “salumi” entered my vocabulary until a couple of years ago, but when it did—hoooo, boy! Suddenly, cured meats are everywhere, on restaurant menus, on pizzas and sandwiches, as the backbone of my favorite gourmet market in Boulder. Heck, I even know a nice young couple in Lyons who cure...
