Thanksgiving 101
So you wanna cook a turkey, eh? If you’re like me and love to cook, I will just preface this with the fact that holiday feasts are on a whole other level. Last year in quarantine, I threw a Thanksgiving for two that could very well had fed a family…

Since COVID began more than a year ago, I’ve been seeing an uptick of home bakers and chefs on Instagram. And for me, it’s not the fascinating reviews or accolades someone needs to have for me to want to eat it. It’s the pictures. Eating is a five sense experience.…

As much as I love Denver, I also love getting out of the city. A couple weeks ago, we drove 2-1/2 hours across the state to hang out in Glenwood Springs. When you drive west on 70, you slowly ascend out of the ruddy brown canyons and make your way…
