My Favorites | What’s in my Breakfast Smoothie

Chef Kat's Morning smoothies

What’s in my Breakfast Smoothie. Updated April 2024 Smoothies are just so good. I get excited in the morning to have mine. It tastes so good and knowing the ingredients in it makes me want to lick the blender bowl. Week day mornings can be a little hectic. Typically, I wake up at 4:45am so […]

It just might have saved me | Healthy + Wellness

Evergreen, Colorado Winter Hiking picture

It just might have saved me | Healthy + Wellness Consistency. It’s a word that I’ve known about but haven’t ever really implemented it into my health and wellness journey…until now. In the beginning my goal was to heal my gut, have more energy and go to the bathroom regularly (just being honest here). Of […]

I’m loving | May

I’m loving | May Well, March seemed to fly by and now it’s mid April…opps it’s the begining of May now.  I started writing this in mid April but time seems to be moving very fast for me lately.  My mind gets blown sometimes when I stop to think about how quickly time passes. It’s […]

I’m loving | February

I’m loving | February Happy February. This might just be one of my favorite months of the year. Gosh, I feel so refreshed. If you read my last Kitchen Counter blog post, What happened in 30 days – I dive deep into some changes I made…and that’s another reason why I’m feeling refreshed. I was […]

Snowy Vail Colorado

I’m loving | January Happy New Year! My words for the new year are. Refreshed. Determined. Focused. In line. The end of last year flew by for me and while I’m so thankful for so many things in my life…I just wish time could slow down sometimes. I was fortunate to take a family ski […]

I’m loving | All things Fall.

Fall in Colorado Hiking 2021

I’m loving | Fall I’ve said it before. Fall is a time of change. I’m ready for it. Not sure in what aspect of my life, but change can be good. It is good. It can challenge us. It can disturb us to grow. I say bring it on. And with that, I can’t wait […]

I’m loving | August

I’m loving | August It’s all about back to school. The month of August for me is about change. I can just feel it in the air. With Fall so close, you just know things are changing. My girls are off to school today to begin 3rd and 4th grade – how that happened, I […]

I’m loving | June

Chef Kat I'm loving in June

I’m loving | June At the beginning of the month, I took 2 weeks off from work. It doesn’t happen often but I’m slowly learning to take the time for myself, setting priorities and not putting too much on my plate at once. There was no way, I could cook for clients during a move. […]

I’m loving | May

I’m loving | May I have felt like I’m Colorado in the month of May. Colorado weather is crazy with 1 foot of snow one day and then the next it’s 70 degrees – that’s the month of May for you. It tends to be an up and down month for me. I think it’s […]

I’m loving | April

Chef Kat hiking in Colorado

I’m loving | April Any chance I can take a jumping photo I will. Especially when I’m just going to be standing there – I mean, you have to make it interesting some how. April sometimes feels like a whirlwind of a month and I know May will be busy too. Starting off with my […]

My Favorites | Candy + Chocolate

My Favorites | Candy + Chocolate It was very hard to taste test so many of these. I did it for the better good. I, of course, had to share the very best of natural candies, organic chocolates and everything in between that’s sweet, sour, gummy, and salty. Indulging in candy and chocolate tastes all […]

I’m loving | March

I’m loving | March Spring is here! Bringing new beginnings. Fresh and new perspectives. I think of it as a clean slate. Not starting over but starting a new. Building on what we have already done and building it stronger. A green sprout pushing out of the earth, grounded literally by it’s roots and foundation […]

I’m loving | February

Chef Kat in Malibu, California

I’m loving | February I started the month off sick in bed, followed quickly by a whirlwind trip to California and then creating 18 new recipes. The rollercoaster of events in February, has set the tone for my March. I just know it. Not to say February wasn’t good – it was. We went night […]

I’m loving | January

Chef Kat's yellow lab, Milo

I’m loving | January This guy. I mean, seriously. He drives me crazy but I also can’t love him enough. So much joy, love and slobbers he have given us. Witnessing someone or something experience pour joy, zen or utopia is magic. He LOVES the snow. We always knew it but with a fresh dump […]

Personal | What I’m focusing on this year.

Personal | What I’m focusing on this year. Resolutions aren’t my jam. I like setting intensions and clear goals. A vision board, a list of ideas and endless random notes. Similar to a journal – I believe in manifesting things.  Setting realistic mildstones that I can reach. At the beginning of the year, I have […]

I’m loving | December

Denver Botanical Gardens Holiday Lights

I’m loving | December 2021 This month has really gone by quickly. I’ve been trying to soak up every moment, but per usual December is one of my busiest times for my business. Client holiday partys, business get togethers and end of the year friends and family celebrations. I feel grateful, lucky and so appreciative […]

I’m loving | November

November in Evergreen Colorado

I’m loving | November 2021 As Thanksgiving approaches, I am in constant awe at being grateful and showing gratitude. I think of where I was, just 1 year ago. I have grown so much. I know myself more. I appreciate all that I have been through. I’m looking forward. I am grateful for my journey. […]

I’m loving | October

Featured Image of Colorado Aspen Leaves Changing

I’m loving | October 2021 For the past 3 months, I have really dialed in taking time for me. What I have found is that it takes baby steps. Nothing was built overnight. Whether its a walk in the woods, reading a few chapters in a book, taking a long hot bath, steaming my face […]
