"I think I'm going to see what it would take to be a food critic in Fort
Collins. I think it would be a blast" I casually said sitting on a
friend's couch during a play date for the kids. I don't think anyone
listening in that living room thought I was serious or that I'd follow
through. I...

We finished up with a great family breakfast after our baby's 1 year
check-up. The restaurant was just around the corner from the office and
the perfect stop for a late breakfast. Pancakes, scrambled eggs,
sausage and fresh-squeezed orange juice. Delicious! It was a fun
family moment with...

It's not a shocking statement to say that the media has warped our
perception of the world around us. I find this happens to me mostly
with International media. Bombarded by news stories of war-torn
countries, poverty-stricken children, political uprisings and genocide,
my perception of...

It was wet and glossy, teasing both my eye and mouth for a bite.
Tantalizing, luscious, and plump, it created an insatiable craving
before bringing it to my lips for a taste. Smelling the tangy
sweetness, I couldn't resist. Its sticky flesh seeped juices which
dripped down my fingers as I...

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

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...

twitter messages and phone calls on a daily basis from friends, fans and
complete strangers asking me for restaurant recommendations. So, it

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

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

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

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...
