Smoked Chicken with Chipotle, Peach and Bourbon Barbecue Sauce

Smoked Chicken with Chipotle, Peach and Bourbon Barbecue Sauce June 17, 2013

As much as I think I love to barbecue; I think what I really love is conjuring up new barbecue sauces. I’m going through a fruit phase; maybe it’s an extension of how fruit has permeated my salads and salad dressings but I’ve found them to be so complimentary to the seasonings that make up [...]

Raspberry Vodka Mojito

Raspberry Vodka Mojito June 7, 2013

My that does look yummalicious doesn’t it…if I say so myself!  I’m sure purists would decry my calling this a Mojito; after all there is no rum. Still, I think Mojito purists would be much more laid back than Martini purists who shout the loudest if the world Martini is affixed to any spirits other [...]

Spiked Lemon and Raspberry Snowcones

Spiked Lemon and Raspberry Snowcones May 17, 2013

I hope you’ll allow me to make this short and sweet; just like these snowcones. I was already late to the gate that I’m writing on Friday AM and then my daughter just called. She’s subletting her apartment for the summer so she can concentrate on her health more and finances less and today is [...]

Cabbage and Bacon Colcannon with Irish Whiskey Steak

Cabbage and Bacon Colcannon with Irish Whiskey Steak March 11, 2013

I think I’m part Irish or maybe really I just like to think I am. I know my Dad’s side of the family come from Switzerland and Germany and my mother’s maiden name of Vaden is English…but I’m not sure about her mother. My Grandmother Vaden was the diametric opposite of my beloved Grandma Bathe; [...]

Red Quinoa Chipotle Lime Salad with Roasted Corn and Avocado March 6, 2013

This is the first in a series of recipes I’ll be doing that will be provided to me by the Cancer Treatment Centers of America. I’ve mentioned before that I met a group of folks with this organization when they were in Denver doing a cooking demonstration at Whole Foods while in town for the [...]

Caprese Stuffed Baked Potatoes

Caprese Stuffed Baked Potatoes February 20, 2013

Ever heard of ‘Rooster’ potatoes? Many of you probably have not. Albert Bartlett premiered the Rooster potato in the United States last summer at the Taste of Colorado. The potato was well received and more than 60,000 potato wedges (5 tons of potatoes) were handed out to event goers during the four-day festival in Denver. [...]

The Tom Collins – A Classic Cocktail for Super Bowl Sunday

The Tom Collins - A Classic Cocktail January 25, 2013

Preparation for moving continues. A rented storage facility is almost full (I can’t even tell you with what!), furniture has been given away or is dedicated to being handed down to my girls once a deal is made and this home is spotless and cleared of clutter. Clutter mostly being inventory from my online shop [...]

Green Chile Macaroni and Cheese

Green Chile Macaroni and Cheese January 9, 2013

When I first started ‘Whatever Wednesday’ my main intent was to bring some great recipes, buried in the archives, to the front of the line. This is one of those and I still love the reminder of how much I’ve changed when it comes to peppers that are green (well, most of them!). I hope [...]

Barbeque Shrimp with Cheese Grits – A Very Southern Tradition for New Years

Barbeque Shrimp with Cheese Grits - A Very Southern Tradition for New Years December 26, 2012

This time of year always makes me think of North Carolina. My children were born there and in remembering I always recall that some of the most idyllic moments of my life were there, including their first Christmas. I moved to North Carolina from St Louis, MO when my then husband accepted a job offer [...]

Pecan Sticky Buns with Orange and Bourbon Glaze

Pecan Sticky Buns with Orange and Bourbon Glaze December 19, 2012

This is a special post and it’s been a long time coming. It all started this past summer when I got a tweet from Sommer who tweets as @GagneFoods letting me know she was in Denver sampling some of their wonderful Robinhood Meetinghouse Biscuits and wondering if we could meet. As luck would have it, [...]

Barbecue Meatloaf with Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes for ‘Support For Sandy’ Blogging Event

Barbecue Meatloaf with Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes November 8, 2012

When Jenn and I decided to initiate an effort hoping to pull food bloggers together in support of the victims of Hurricane Sandy, we had no idea what to expect. We certainly could not have foreseen the almost surreal response to that effort. If it has been heartwarming to be but a small part of [...]

Port Wine Cherry Mustard and My Personal Mustard Obsession

Port Wine Cherry Mustard August 14, 2012

Even without kids around constantly, my fridge door is forever opening and closing. I’ll get inspired in the middle of the day and get something started as a break from work; not to mention that no salad is complete without my own dressing, sandwich without putting together a quick spread and I keep cold water [...]

Pulled Pork Sandwiches with Apricot Bourbon Barbecue Sauce and Coleslaw

Pulled Pork Sandwiches with Apricot Bourbon Barbecue Sauce and Coleslaw August 13, 2012

Although I usually keep it pretty light here; if you’ve read this blog long enough you’ll know that sometimes something will get under my skin and I will use this space to howl at the moon. I recently noticed some grumbling about the quality of food blogs based on one person’s criteria which for her [...]

Blueberry Basil Martini Pops for #FridayCocktails

Blueberry Basil Martini Pop July 20, 2012

You might think that after my fiasco with making Raspberry Margarita Pops a couple of weeks ago that I would shy away from boozy popsicles; you know, the old ‘fear of failure.’ First of all…if a little failure stopped me I would never bake again since I live at altitude so failure doesn’t hold me [...]

Vanilla Bean and Strawberry Ice Cream Layered Dessert

Vanilla ice cream with Strawberries Ice Cream Dessert July 16, 2012

When I decided near the end of 2010 that I needed to find my own ‘food blogging’ tribe I was unsure what that would mean. It’s clear that some cities on both the east and west coast have a plethora of people who write, photo and do all things food. Here in Denver I felt [...]
