Some of my earliest memories are of me sitting in my great-grandmother’s kitchen. We would drink tea, picking out which teacup we wanted from her collection, and we always paired it with a windmill-shaped cookie, an homage to her home country of Holland.

(Sorry Baby Boomers, but you MADE us this way!) But now that the world is starting to…

I have a confession – sometimes I go to cities just to eat. Denver is one of those places where you hear about the restaurants before you arrive, and want to go back again just for the food. I can say that I was not disappointed. The Mile High City, as it’s called (due to the elevation, not the fact…
