Hi! I live in Colorado with my husband and two dogs. We love to do all the cliché mountain activities: hiking, biking, off-roading, etc. But when the weather’s crummy or my body needs a break from physical activities then food becomes front and center! I keep a huge garden during the warmer months and grow mushrooms and greens inside through the winter; growing ingredients ups the challenge of coming up with new dishes with whatever is in season. Baking at altitude is an adventure, but bread and cookies are a staple in our house, so it became more economical to bake than buy. During covid, we went through a cooking slump and ordered a lot of take out. After a year of eating craving satisfying, but not particularly good food, we were pretty burnt out. To turn that around, we set a household rule that we could go physically out to a new restaurant as a reward if we cooked dinner 6 out of 7 days of the week. It has started a fun date night tradition that gets us out to explore unique restaurants all around the denver area (we still haven’t made it a full month of new restaurants each week, but we’re making progress)! Anyhoo, I’m excited to try new products and places to see if they pass the test of: made enough of a difference that its worth the time to do or space to store!
