Junior League of Denver Cookbooks

From the time I moved to Colorado eleven years ago until now, some of the best recipes I've tasted have been from the Junior League Cookbooks! I still don't know the lure and legend of how they came to be or who has contributed recipes, but I do know one thing: you want them.

After doing a bit of online research, I've discovered they are hard to come by. The Tattered Cover has the Creme de Colorado in stock, but the Junior League website shows all are "out of stock." So like any good online shopper, I went to Amazon. Turns out, they are abundant there, both new and used.

Are you a Coloradan with a favorite recipe from one of these famed cookbooks? If so, please share.

Like somewhere else? What are the cookbooks and recipes that define your neck of the woods?

Frisco's Wassail Days

Friends, 
I'm so excited to bring you the details of this family event in Frisco, Colorado! Nothing says Christmas like getting up into the beautiful Rocky Mountains and celebrating the holidays nestled in a cozy town with your closest friends and family. Fresh snow. Lighted trees. Sleigh rides. Visits with Santa.
And it all starts with the Santa Dash for Cash - a 1K "fun run" in which all participants must wear Santa gear! The run is TOMORROW and when you register at www.wassaildays.com you will receive a Frisco Santa shirt, a Santa hat and at the end of the run you will receive a stocking full of goodies including Wassail Cash (the official currency of Wassail Days that can be used at local restaurants and retailers) and a FREE pass for a ½ hour of tubing at the Frisco Adventure Park Tubing Hill.

Psalm 16

This Psalm has been blessing me. I pray it will bless you too. Thanks to BibleGateway.com for making it so easy to share these beautiful words with you.16 Preserve me, O God, for in you I take refuge.
2 I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord;
I have no good apart from you.” 3 As for the saints in the land, they are the excellent ones,
in whom is all my delight. 4 The sorrows of those who run after another god shall multiply;
their drink offerings of blood I will not pour out
or take their names on my lips. 5 The Lord is my chosen portion and my cup;
you hold my lot.
6 The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;
indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance. 7 I bless the Lord who gives me counsel;
in the night also my heart instructs me.
8 I have set the Lord always before me;
because he is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken. 9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my

C'est la Vie: The Men In Our Lives Part 3

Today's suggestions really hit two sides of the same coin. I was thinking about gifts for the "do it yourself" dad. If you're married to him (or lived with a dad like this growing up), you know what I mean. He loves a project whether it's in the house, out in the yard, or in the garage (ie. cars).

But that got me thinking, sometimes there is nothing better than a "do it yourself" gift. Something straight from the heart and made by little, loving hands. So, here are two lists: one for your man to "do" and the other for you and the kids to make. I think you'll find something that's a perfect fit!

Kid Made:
A photo bookmark (says "mother's day", but dads who are bookworms will love this too)A miniature golf course (indoor or outdoor!)A monogram painted hammerKid-made brunch just for dad - try this Hamburger HashTotes, Kits and Sweets at Family Fun - cool stuff!Anything with hand-prints and poems written by the kids (Am I righ…
