When the cat's away, the mice will play. That's how I feel when my husband is out of town on business and I have a chance to eat at restaurants he'd rather not. Being the corn-fed, North Dakota born and raised, meat and potatoes guy; venturing out to eat Thai, Indian, Ethiopian or anything...

We moved to Fort Collins from Denver years ago because it was friendlier, slower-paced and a great place to raise a family. My husband grew up in a small town where everyone knew each other and kids went to school with each other from preschool all the way to high school graduation. I've always...

It was a bitter cold night during the week we reached down into the negatives here in Fort Collins. We were standing out in the lot watching our breath materialize into cloudy puffs. "I don't know if I like it that much to actually get it. I think I have my heart set on a Subaru", I turned to...

It’s one of my favorite seasons: cinema season! The annual Golden Globe Awards ceremony just took place, and as the Academy Awards® draws near – it’s been moved back to March 7 this year - I’m trying to fit in as many films as my schedule will allow. What I prefer to do, given plenty of...

You know the saying, "you can never have too much of a good thing"? Sometimes this is true. You can have too many beers, too much sugar and yes, you can have too many cats (all much to my chargin). However, you can never have too many friends, too many dinner dates and too much sushi. I was...

Sometimes I feel like I'm leading a double life. A Dr. Jekyll, Mr. Hyde of sorts. Personal Trainer at some points of the day; working out in the gym, training clients, designing nutrition plans and then when we go out to eat, all rules go out the window. There's no calorie counting, no ordering...

Sometimes I wake up and want to pinch myself to see if I'm still dreaming. This gastronomic journey in Fort Collins that I've been fortunate enough to go on has sometimes been too good to be true. I get the opportunity to go out and eat great food while laughing with friends many times a week....

I resisted Facebook for a long time. I thought it would be another time waster in addition to all of the blogs I read and the mile-long bookmark folder filled with websites of interest. A good friend of mine kept the peer pressure on after I set up my account and did nothing with it for months....

Some secrets aren't meant to be kept. While many people keep the secrets of their family recipes close to their hearts, others are sharing them with the entire city. Or, at least the end result of the recipe. My husband had told me about a small Italian place in town that a co-worker shared...

For some reason, I love baking more than cooking. Maybe it's because my baked goods are sugary, sinful treats - cupcakes with butter cream frosting, glazed pumpkin bars (I will never divulge this super secret recipe), tarts, pies, cookies - pretty much all of the foods I tell my personal...

"Where do you want to go out to eat?" he asked me. This is usually the exchange we go through, and have gone through for years when deciding on what restaurant to go to. The banter going back and forth, "I don't know, where do YOU want to go out to eat?" Now doing restaurant reviews, the only...

I am an addict. That's the first step, right? Admitting you have a problem? Although, I don't see my addiction to coffee as a problem. Maybe my kidneys disagree. At any rate, I drink a lot of coffee. Being a mom and a writer, I think it's just part of the job description. Living in the enabling...

I remember the summer sun shining brightly, causing the freckles across my nose to darken. I remember the green leaves on the trees dancing in the breeze and the sound of us laughing about the super heroes we created, like Water Woman and Leaf Lady. I remember the smell of Greek food traveling...
