When thinking about how to prepare beets, roasting them is a given. It’s not only the best way to bring out this root vegetable’s sweet flavor, it’s also the easiest way to avoid splattering magenta and purple-hued juices everywhere. We had a white linoleum counter in our last apartment, forcing me to prep beets on [...]
Happy Birthday to my wonderful husband, Justin! Chocolate buttercream cake brought to you by One Girl Cookies. (It tastes even better than it looks!)
…Justin and I were married on a warm Fall day. Yesterday, we celebrated our second anniversary with a trip to Storm King. We enjoyed crisp weather, the earliest hint of Fall foliage, and bike riding around the 500 acre property.

We spent Memorial Day weekend in Denver, CO and its surrounding mountains and canyons. Denver’s public art scene is fantastic; highlights include the sculptures outside of the Denver Art Museum and inside of the Denver Botanic Gardens. The natural beauty of the state was revealed when we left the city. We made the steep climb [...]
