Sponsored: Kenwood Vineyards’ Holiday Food Drive for WhyHunger

Kenwood Vineyards Bottles

I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for Kenwood Vineyards. I received product samples and a promotional item to thank me for my participation. This weekend was a big weekend for wine – but surprisingly, although the Denver International Wine Festival was happening just a few miles from my apartment, that wasn’t the reason for it. Instead, it was just lots of great get-togethers with some great friends. My company’s regional all hands was on Friday, and after the meeting, a coworker and I decided to continue the fun at some of the bars/restaurants on Larimer …

Thanksgiving for Nerds: Easy Excel Menu, Recipes, Automated Grocery List Maker, and Timeline

Thanksgiving For Nerds: Easy Excel Menu, Recipes, Automated Grocery List Maker, and Timeline

Can you believe that Thanksgiving is only one week away?? Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday – so many wonderful people gathered around one table, so much delicious food, and so much glorious time spent prepping for it! Wait… what? I’m sure many of you are surprised at that last part. Many people seem to hate prepping for Thanksgiving because of the stress it creates. Thanksgiving dinner is a pretty high-profile meal, and everyone has their own expectations of what dishes should be on the table and exactly how they should be prepared. Stuffing cooked inside the bird or outside? Homemade …

Healthy Indian Platter

Today was a pretty exciting day to be a Coloradan! In previous years, Election Day has never really been a big deal to me, since it’s always pretty clear which way the New York votes were going to go. But a lot of the races in Colorado today were pretty hotly contested, and could make a big difference at the national level in determining the swing of the House and Senate. I was in a training session today and so was able to get out of work early at 6pm, at which point I hightailed it out of Denver and …

Healthy Fall Recipe: Zucchini Chocolate Banana Bread Oatmeal

Zucchini Chocolate Banana Bread Oatmeal

I already told you about my glorious Saturday of trail running and hitting the pool (seriously, it was 83 degrees – why not?!). However, despite the amazingly warm weather, I then switched over to fall mode for the rest of the weekend, and spent Saturday night at a low-key pumpkin beer fest held at Hops and Pie. I sampled over 20 pumpkin beers, in between slices of some awesome sausage-and-pineapple pizza (seriously, their pizza has ranked on TripAdvisor’s list of 50 pizza places worth traveling for). So basically, the perfect way to eat back everything I had burned that morning. …

How to Make a Healthy Pizza (Giveaway Sponsored by Krusteaz Flatbreads)

How To Make a Healthy Pizza - Under 500 Calories!

Krusteaz recently sent me some of their new flatbread mixes, and I was pumped. Flatbread is my absolute favorite kind of pizza, but I’ve never tried making it at home! I tried to plan a pizza party for some friends, but then ended up being sick for over a week and kept having to postpone. Finally, I decided that just because I was sick didn’t mean I couldn’t have pizza anyway! So last night, I treated myself to a solo pizza-and-movie night 🙂 Krusteaz Flatbread Mixes come in three flavors: garlic and onion, Italian herb, and whole wheat. Comparing the nutritionals, …
