Sep 07 I decided to grow chard in the garden this year even though I’d never eaten it and knew next-to-nothing about it. When it was time to harvest, I wasn’t even sure what to do with it. I sautéed the leafy portion and served it as a side dish with a dinner – it was... Read More

Sep 04 I have mentioned my love (obsession) for Colorado peaches. At any given time over the last month r two, I’ve had at LEAST 5-6 Palisade peaches on hand. I’ve found several different ways to enjoy them: with vanilla yogurt, as a bedtime dessert, served with ice cream, and some days I’m in the mood... Read More

Sep 02 When a girlfriend of mine gifted me a HUGE zucchini from her garden, I was ecstatic – however unsure what to do with THAT MUCH ZUCCHINI. The thing was huge, seriously. I took a photo of it, but I’m not sharing because it just looks awkward. Ha!  I haven’t always loved zucchini, but... Read More

By 9:30 AM this morning, I felt accomplished. I had already practiced yoga at Red Rocks with 2000 other yogis and hiked the... Read More

Aug 14 This is my beautiful BFF, Laura. Maybe you can’t tell from the photo but she exudes confidence and holds a strong presence (no matter where she goes). She is beautiful, funny, and FUN. Recently, Laura dropped 30 lbs of unnecessary weight from her body in a 6 month period of time. Her tactic was not... Read More

Aug 13 chocolate.bananas.peanut butter.coconut.it’s what’s for breakfast.or a little treat, after a workout. I did not pre-meditate this smoothie, it kind of “just happened” …and I have a feeling it will “just happen” again… Let me tell you more: Every time I have a banana that’s gotten too brown and soft for eating, I peel...

Aug 09 Sporty, SPORT tea Saturday: my alarm clock went off at 4:15 am because my super special guy friend was up early for a triathlon. After I saw him off, I had planned on doing Yoga On The Rocks at Red Rocks BUT at about 4:30 AM, I realized that I hadn’t purchased my ticket yet. When I logged... Read More
