Sweet Saura

Is everyone ready for Thanksgiving?? I must admit, I am late this year on planning my own Thanksgiving menu. My mom and I are just finalizing the menu THIS week! That’s cutting it close for us! For the past several years I’ve only had to worry about pies and sweets, but this year we’re making some savory things as well.

Colorado has seemed to skip over fall and just go straight into the dead of winter. So. Cold. I’ve got a new handy dandy snow scraper for my car though, so that’ll help at least! I think someone needs to come up with a c

We had our first snow of the season a few days ago and I am not a happy camper. It went from sunny and 80 degrees to white and 18 degrees in less than 24 hours! What is that!! I can’t believe how fast this year has gone by. I am already starting to think of my Thanksgiving menu PLUS which pies to make!

Well, the news is out folks!  I WROTE A BOOK! It’s a cookbook about all things PIE! I am finally able to announce it to the world as pre-orders start now! The book had 50 seasonal pie recipes. Some savory, some sweet. Some classic and of COURSE some unique.

We had one of the busiest weeks at the restaurant this past week! 500 people here, 1200 there, 300 here.. it’s been crazy! But we always pull through and at the end of the day I still love what I do, so I can’t complain.

Last week I had some peach bread pudding and it was so delicious! To be fair, anything with peaches or bananas i will eat up in a heartbeat. After being gifted some peaches I decided to remake for you..

The weather has been cooling off and I just want it to stay warm for a little while longer! But fall is coming, and with that, fall flavors. Let me introduce to you my Apple…

I love tres leches. It’s a soaked spongecake topped with whipped cream and usually served with fresh fruit. “Tres leches” meaning three milks, is what the cake is soaked in. Usually this means sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and half & half, but for this recipe I substituted strawberry puree for one of the milks. It really gives the whole cake a fresh strawberry-milk flavor! Top with whipped cream and served with fresh strawberries and you’ll be in strawberry heaven.

Homemade banana pudding with homemade vanilla wafers!

Happy March! Ok I know I’m a few days late, but really, can you believe it’s already March?? I feel like Christmas is already around the corner. I am still braving the cold out here in Denver. Just counting the days …
