Progressive Dinner. Prime Rib @ Cherry Creek Grill.  California Cappuccino @ The Market. With the most-to-die-for Tiramisu EVER. We kinda closed the place down. Crisp Fall Air.  City Lights.  Good food.  Great coffee.  Fine company.  I’m a lucky girl.

Fall Love
We discovered a little corner of the city so secluded that we were the only ones there to witness the glory of the changing leaves.  And dip our toes into the cool water.  And draw on the sand with sticks.  And throw golden leaves into the water and then watch as they were carried away by the current.  Nature is powerful.  I think because of the way it inspires as it connects us to something...

Sunday Funday in Breckenridge
It was a beautiful weekend to explore the mountains around us.   It’s amazing to see the shimmery gold aspen leaves up close and in person.   J noticed this street sign on our way so we stopped to snap a pic of it.   We found a fun trail that took us into downtown.  A friendly passerby took this… it’s out of focus but at least it’s proof we were there :) ...

delicious and [almost] free summer beverage
I got this idea from a hairdresser I used to go to.  It’s called spa water and it’s simple and delicious.  There are a few variations but I will start with my favorite.   Start with filtered water and a glass pitcher (don’t use plastic because the citrus can sometimes eat into it).   Then grab some fresh mint (this mint was provided by our aunt’s outdoor garden), 2 slices...

Amazing Summer Strawberry Salad
This salad is delicious!  And perfect for summer. The hand-written recipe fell out of my recipe book.  I apologize that I don’t know who to thank for it.  I certainly didn’t come up with it on my own.  I vaguely remember a conversation with my mom over the phone about it.  Maybe it belongs to a family member?   The salad is fresh spinach, strawberries and sliced almonds....

Fun at Anthropologie, Cherry Creek Mall Denver...
The lovely Leach family is visiting us here in Denver!  Today we went to Cherry Creek Mall.  I had my camera along so we took some funky fun pictures in Anthropologie (Michelle’s and my fave store).   We love Michelle, Kevin and Maggie!  Such a fun, sweet family. Michelle and I have been friends for 23 years now!  I cherish her.  She is a GEM.  We’ve celebrated a lot of life together...

Stir Fry
I hate wasting things- food, time, money, paper … I think it’s a result of being raised in the “recycle, reduce re-use” era.  I had some leftover brown rice in the fridge from a salmon dinner and was debating what it’s new purpose could be.  I decided on stir fry since I had a drawer full of veggies from the farmer’s market. I had a strange mixture of veggies,...

Cherry Creek Arts Festival in Denver
The boys and I went over to the the Cherry Creek Arts Festival this last weekend.  It took place on 2nd and 3rd Street, by Cherry Creek Mall on July 4 weekend.   Fun festivities, inspiring art, and great food!  We decided on Borriello Brothers for lunch. We shared “the Godfather”- a trio of meat, provolone cheese, lettuce and roasted tomatoes on a sub.  Seriously so good.   We ate...

Cleaning without cleaning supplies?
While staying with my mom in CA recently, I learned an amazing secret.  My mom came downstairs one day and looked at the shower.  She said, “you know Megan, if you don’t want to use the squeegee every time to clean the glass you can just use your towel to wipe it down and then throw it in the wash.”  And with that simple notion, I realized that the everyday chore of using that...
