It's hard to believe that I've been blogging on Feasting Fort Collins
for a year now. This year of food blogging, writing restaurant reviews
has been one of the most fun projects I've ever started and so
incredibly rewarding as well. I've discovered new things about Fort
Collins that I...

I have great admiration for creativity and artistry, in any art form.
It was one of the qualities that made me notice my now husband, back
when we were merely co-workers. He was studying photography and graphic
design, talented with a unique vision. He showed me his portfolio, we
went out...

I receive emails, text messages, blog comments, facebook messages,
twitter messages and phone calls on a daily basis from friends, fans and
complete strangers asking me for restaurant recommendations. So, it
was not an unusual situation when one of my best friends asked for a
good date...

Fort Collins is a pretty great city to live in, just look at all of the awards and
honors we receive. This week Fort Collins was rated number four on
the Forbes annual list of "Best Places for Business
and Careers". It seems like Fort Collins is constantly being

As a food blogger, there are very few restaurants in Fort Collins where
I feel like I'm going out for a haute, gourmet dinner. Where I feel
that I've stepped into a special place, where the quality and
creativity of the dishes are going to set themselves apart from every
other restaurant in...

The last food I think of when drinking beer is vegetables, especially
healthy, organic vegetables. The food I associate beer drinking with is
it's usually not-so-good-for-you cohorts. You know, artery clogging
frienemies. Foods that go great together in taste, but you pay a hefty
price for...

Have you ever watched a competitive eating event? Mounds of food being
consumed in mere minutes by people with names like Joey Chestnut, Crazy
Legs Conti, and Yellowcake Subich. Not just mounds, but pounds of food. As a personal
trainer, it's both amazing and grotesque all at the same time....

I've had a handful of business meetings over the the last couple of
weeks and as a freelancer working from home, those meeting have been
over coffee and bagels at local coffee houses and cafes. Sitting at
solid wood tables, energizing aromas stimulating the process,
brainstorming,...

Being a parent of two small boys has it's challenges. Going out to eat
is one of them. When we eat out together as a family, it's not that big
of a deal because I handle the antics of one kid while my husband takes
care of the other. The teamwork involved is seamless and we end up
having a...

I'm sure there are banned items in every household. Whether it's because
you have kids and you'd like to censor them from inappropriate movies
or maybe it's cats because somebody has an allergy. Do you know what's
banned in our house? Monopoly. Yes, the Parker Brothers family board
game,...

Let me start by saying that while Cohere is not a coffee shop, they do serve up some delicious coffee every morning (direct trade from local roaster Jackie’s Java, served with snacks that come primarily from the Grant Farms Organic fruit share throughout the summer). However, despite all this...

I am always down for a party. In fact, I'd say that despite being
parents, my husband and I still know how to have a really good time. It
can be just the two of us and we'd still have the time of our lives,
like our overnight stay in Denver last month, or end up taking over the
town with...

Last month my husband had the opportunity to travel to Europe for
business. He went to a handful of countries, exploring the history and
culture of each one after they were finished with daytime meetings. I
received emails about all of the authentic food he was eating while I

You know the saying "Good things come to those who wait"? I've been
trying to get to La Creperie for the review for quite some time. Every
time I had plans, something would come up. It was either a Monday
morning (when they aren't open) or the boys would get sick and I'd be

There have been a few happenings within the Fort Collins food scene
that caused people to talk; one of them was the temporary closing of
the Human Bean drive-through coffee houses. Those who were most upset
over the loss were parents, mostly moms, that depend on drive-through
for their coffee...
