The air is crisp! The mountain leaves are stunning!
Holiday Spreads
Dark Chocolate Pretzel Cannoli
Is there anything more addictive than salty-sweet pretzel bites coated in a thick layer of rich dark chocolate?!
Strawberry & Sea Salt Chocolate Tart
Happy Mother’s Day weekend! We’re entering one of my favorite periods of the year, as spring heats up to summer (despite a mountain hailstorm or two) and our little town comes alive with equal parts Denverites and tourists from around the world.
Caramelized Onion & Rosemary Soda Bread
Are we done with soda bread? I say not yet, because soda bread has to be the original easy bread recipe.
Amaretto Chocolate Affogato
Sweet chocolate gelato drowned in boozy amaretto and steaming espresso is the perfect balance of hot and cold, sweet and bitter! Part after-dinner coffee, part nightcap, I could dive straight into this glass.
Beetroot Risotto with Goat Cheese & Thyme
Impress your Valentine with this brilliantly garnet beetroot risotto with creamy goat cheese & earthy thyme! This dish is packed with a whole pound of fresh beets so it’s light and refreshing, not at all heavy like most thick, cream-based risottos.
Sheet Pan Full English For Two
This impressive (almost) full english breakfast bakes together on one sheet pan in no time at all! Whether it’s a lazy weekend brunch or a mid-week surprise, this makes a wonderful morning treat for two.
Chorizo Poblano Sausage Rolls
I’m head-over-heels for these crisp, flaky sausage rolls stuffed with a mixture of spicy chorizo and fresh poblano peppers! Paired with a super-simple cilantro lime dipping sauce to cool down any spiciness, these bites are so addicting that the whole platter disappeared in a snap.
Loaded Cherry Almond Brownies
Loaded brownies smash my favorite fruit, my favorite nuts, and my favorite dessert together into major chocolate bliss! Cherries and almonds are such a perfect natural pairing with cocoa beans: sweet and crunchy and incredibly, indulgently rich.
Sausage & Mushroom Stuffed Brie Wheels
These crispy, flaky, gooey stuffed brie wheels are definitely the ultimate party appetizer! Pastry bites stuffed with sausage, mushrooms, and caramelized onions, surrounding a whole wheel of melted brie for dipping?
