Snow last week and 80 degree weather this week , it is Spring in the Rockies. Everything pops from flora to the farmers markets! There are 11 farmers markets in the Denver area. Cherry Creek Farmers Market , Union Station Farmers Market and South Pearl […]
Sampled two different pot pies. Steak & Stout Pies and Chicken Balti Pies Quick dinner surprises from Trader Joe’s does not disappoint. Either steak chucks with carrots, mushroom and gravy or chicken curry are good. The pastry is flaky and the pot pies – baked […]
Roasted beets, Pickled beets with salads. Earthy. Huge fan of beets.
Westin Hotels has beet juice as a super food rich in antioxidants for the morning jump start. Eating well magazine April 2019 has 2 cups of beet juice work out 25% longer during a short intensive. WOW!

My favorite recipe is James Beard’s pickled eggs. Beets are for breakfast.

Eggs for breakfast in March – well tis’ the St. Patties Month. I like mine on fresh corned beef hash. Corned beef hash with sauteed spinach, poached egg and hollandaise sauce.
Cooking Corned Beef Typical way that I have read – to cook corned beef is to boil. Rinse off the Corned beef, add the spices and boil. YIKES I propose adding a bit of Char adds flavor. the difference is analogous to the difference of […]
