  Who doesn’t like a good cup of Joe...

So, I got away with not making resolutions for the New Year, but my question is, “If I want to celebrate Fat Tuesday like a rock star, must I give up something for Lent?” Does one have be Catholic to get the most out of Fat Tuesday, or can I celebrate and wake up ...

Oh Spring, you are such a tease. Warm one day, snowing the next. Almost as bad as those pesky hollow bunnies this time of year. You know that feeling: you get your taste buds prepared for a delicious mouth full of chocolate, only to have your teeth clamp together ...

Well, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Let them eat cobbler. OK, never have I said that, and the expression is, “Let them eat cake.” But I figured Marie Antoinette coined that phrased so long ago, perhaps a change was sure to come, and why shouldn’t it ...

Don`t worry, I’m not going to spew about the weather again, except to say ... it’s so hot, the chickens are laying hard boiled eggs. Thanks, I’m here all night! Of course it’s hot — it’s July. And what treat is front and center in this patriotic month? Ice cream, ...

Well, my coffee dessert from last week was so delicious, I am breaking out another one this week. Please know this isn’t the Dessert Diva patting herself on the back (although I am flexible). This comes directly from you, my Boulder Weekly readers. The sweet ...

The countdown to Thanksgiving is on...
