Coffee and Crumpets
Spring seems to have finally arrived in Colorado and we have been enjoying beautiful sunny days interspersed with the usual, magnificent thunderstorms and windy days that make springtime here such a delight. It has been quite hot already and I am a little worried about the upcoming summer. The Sun burns in Colorado. [...]
I wasn’t going to post this recipe originally because it was just one of those left over meals made in a blur. I had made a stir fry the night before and had a bunch of brown rice left over, I decided to add some fresh vegetables and eggs and fry it [...]
This week saw the return of my children and husband back to school and work, respectively, after a long Spring Break. Despite it’s length, it was nice to have everyone home and relaxed. We didn’t have to wake up early and rush to get breakfast or to make packed lunches. The mornings were a most civilised [...]
Anyone who is interested in a home based, bakery business in Colorado, knows that yesterday, Governor Hickenlooper signed the Cottage Food Law bill. What that means is that many bakers with a knack for churning out edible works of art can now sell straight from their home kitchens without breaking the law. There [...]
I know everyone heard about Denver’s “historic” snow storm last week on national news and, as someone living in Denver, let me tell you, it was all true. We still have snow EVERYWHERE.

What an exciting few days it has been, that is, if you call almost losing all your work on your website and burning out an oven amidst dinner, exciting. It was quite stressful as I know many of you will understand. The thought of losing all your hard work in the press of one button [...]
I know what y’all are thinking…sandwiches? Really? But these aren’t just any ordinary sandwiches, these are creamy, delicious, macaroni and cheese sandwiches. I know they are easy to find on the internet and you probably don’t need me to tell you how to make them, but would you really have thought about them if I didn’t [...]
The children are out of school for Winter Break and so I am seeking refuge in my bedroom. It’s very difficult when they are home! I like not having to get up early and make a dozen packed lunches, (of course I am exaggerating, it’s only three packed lunches, but at the crack of dawn, [...]
The last four days we have been under Arctic freeze conditions here in Colorado. I love it. After all this is why my husband and I jumped on the idea of moving from Houston. Most of y’all are thinking that I’m out of my mind enjoying frigid temperatures like what we’ve been having. [...]
