As we well know from The Sound of Music jam & bread is ALWAYS a winning combination. The weather in Colorado is just starting to take a chilly turn and the brisk evenings call for a warm cup of tea and a sweet buttery shortbread bar as a treat before bedtime.

As adults without children we see a lot of animated movies, probably more than most of our friends who have kids. I love the simplicity of animation and the authenticity that can be brought to life by a non-human character.

Peach season is nearly over but the fruits of the fall are yet to come. During the month of August we see produce stands pop up on every corner, starting with peaches grown on the western slope of Colorado in August to roast New Mexico Chilies in September.

Labor Day weekend is the perfect time to relax and catch up on any yard work before the fall months start to set in. After spending a few hot hours in the sun this quick and easy Peaches and Cream popsicle recipe is a healthy way to enjoy your favorite fruit and cool off.
