While in Portland Oregon, I was delighted to experience the world of Voodoo Doughnuts. (Mind you these are doughnuts, not donuts.) Huge, sweet, delicious fried doughy goodness in traditional flavors and crazy combinations… peanut butter chocolate, bubble yum, cap’n crunch, fruit loops, grape.
And it was hard to believe, but they had over a dozen VEGAN [...]
In celebration of my birthday today, I went to my favorite breakfast place in Denver: Lucile’s.
It’s a creole-style breakfast and lunch place, with just a very few locations in Colorado. All their breakfasts are delicious. This morning I had Eggs Eisenhower: bacon, eggs, potatoes, and a biscuit with the fabulous strawberry rhubarb jam. And three [...]

They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day. When you’re having one of those days when you’re in a hurry to get out the door, liven-up your cereal to be more fun and healthier.
Berries are one of my absolute favorite foods. Raspberries and blueberries are the best. Blackberries, mulberries, cherries, and strawberries [...]

This morning I found out that it’s much better to go to Snooze alone. Sure, company is nice, but on the weekend getting a table means waiting for an hour +. I arrived around 9:15, squeezed past about 35 people and picked up a seat at the bar. This unexpected opportunity worked in my favor [...]
