I am not a foodie. I do love to eat but I don’t make amazing yummy food for the eye and for the stomach. I do on occasion read cookbooks, weird I know but it’s oddly satisfying. Try it some time. In case we haven’t met before, I take book recommendations from IG friends and [...]

Finished Reading: Eat Beautiful
I haven't had a fabulous cookbook in a while, most include ingredients that we steer clear of and I hate to keep a cookbook I can't cook out of. Eat Beautiful from Wendy Rowe interested me, she is a professional make up artist and freely talks about how when you put good food in, it [...]
A Nourishing Thanksgiving
Travis and I have been on the Always Hungry (AH) lifestyle, since February. He has seen dramatic health benefits from this new way of eating and approaching food, while I have lost a few pounds and still have a healthy craving for all bread, crabs and pasta that I see. Knowing that the way we [...]
Broth & Stock
Part of living adventurously for me is to do more self care. This involves eating and cooking better for my family (me & hubby). I'm a huge fan of the Nourished Kitchen blog, in fact when we lived in Montrose we weren't far from where she & her family used to live in Crested Butte [...]
Tis the Season for Baking
As if you haven't cooked, eaten enough food over the last week or so, tis the season to Bake. And I'm so excited to be baking out of Food52's new Baking cookbook with '60 sensational treats you can pull off in a snap'. This is a beautiful cookbook, hardcover, lays flat, matte paper, easy to [...]
Infused Oils, Spirits and Water
Last year I got the Shake cocktail recipe book, not only is it gorgeous and well photographed, but it has an amazing feel. So when I saw the same authors wrote another book, I knew I had to have it. In Infuse, authors Prum & Williams talk readers through quick and long infusions and what tools and [...]
How I am learning to SAVOR each & every day
I am an avid routine keeper, somedays are harder than others especially as a work from home individual! But my day always includes one hour with God, either before I 'go' to work or after work and lunch of course. Adding Shauna Nieguist's Savor book of devotions/journaling prompts has been a nice reminder to enjoy [...]
The Kitchn CookBook -a review
The Kitchn cookbook is more than just a cookbook its a kitchen book. The first 1/3 of the book is on utilizing the space in your kitchen and inventive ways of using that space better, evening and weekend projects to make your kitchen better and more useful. Fun fact: I did several of the tips [...]
Tacolicious- Book Review
As a Texas native, I'd like to think I know a thing or two about tacos. And I do, except I know a lot about Tex-Mex tacos and not so much about California Mex or honestly true Mexican tacos. Colorado Mexican/tacos were good but nothing compared to what I grew up eating. Getting the Tacolicious [...]
Shake, a new perspective on cocktails- a review
Personally, I am more of a wine girl, it's my husband that drinks cocktails and hard liquor. After seeing this book and the Ball Shaker at Sur la Table last weekend in San Jose, I started to get really excited about reviewing this book. The first recipe we read in the book was the Mint [...]
