Baking Cinnamon Rolls

Guillermo Casias, the Pastry Chef at Victoria's Deli, showed me how he makes his amazing cinnamon rolls, a staple at the Bakery.  You would not believe the sweet smell of the dough, the spicy cinnamon, and the mapley brown sugar.  Omigosh! 

 

 

SARE Grant - Our Day Off Activities

Well, on our day off - it was snowing so we couldn't get to Denver for our meetings -  we decided to work on the grant project and enjoy some yummy foods at Victoria's Deli and Catering.  Well, we certainly ate our fill - the pastries are truly to die for!  And we did get a lot of work done!  Go to Colorado-farm-to-fork.blogspot.com for details of our project and check it often for updates.

Some day off! :)

Christmas Celebrations with my parents

On Saturday, we did some pre-Christmas celebrating with my parents in Denver.

We checked out a Christmas concert at the Cherry Hills Community Church and then went to the Capital Building and the People's Courthouse to check out the lights :)

Thanksgiving in Beulah

Woops, it's almost Christmas, and I  am only finally posting the Thanksgiving in Beulah shots.  We had so much fun hanging out with Dr. Donna Hinders, Roy Hipp, and all of their wonderful friends and neighbors!  Donna also connected me with Dr. Meg Thams who teaches business at Regis U.  She works with a truly Fair Trade Coffee business that really gives more $ to the farmer and less to the middle-businesses, because there are fewer of them!  

Donna made a Polenta Cake, and I made a gluten free chocolate brownie with pumpkin pie on top. 

Enjoy the pictures!
