Sometimes we forget how close we live to a Nationa

Sometimes we forget how close we live to a National Park. They now require reservations to enter the park, but Trail Ridge Road and this beautiful hike to Mills Lake made it worth the extra hassle.

It’s time to harvest the garlic that I planted last September! These bulbs will have to dry for several weeks in the garage then I’ll plant the biggest cloves and eat the rest. Check out this “creative” garlic scape arrangement that I made from the scapes that I cut off several weeks ago!

We drove up to Rabbit Ears Pass to finally get a good view of the Neowise Comet. The skies were amazing!

Such a fabulous time in the Colorado Rockies! Dean

Such a fabulous time in the Colorado Rockies! Dean and I went to one of our favorite places- the iconic Crystal Mill. We heard that you could mountain bike to the mill so we headed out on the 5 1/2 mile Jeep road only to find out that it’s a hard, hard bike trip. I ditched my bike halfway and hiked, but Dean was an animal and biked all the way!

Check out this photo of my sister and I with our grandmother taken at the mill many, many years ago. The mill definitely got a face lift!

Love, love garbanzo beans! That’s a good thing because when the shelves were almost empty last week, I snagged several bags of them. If you want a new way to prepare garbanzo beans (also called chickpeas) try my Braised Garbanzo Beans with Lemon.

Combine 2 cans (3 cups) of garbanzo beans with 1/2 cup sautéed onions, 1/4 cup capers, 1/4 cup kalamata olives, rosemary, red pepper flakes and 1/2 sliced lemon. Stir in 1/3 cup olive oil, cover and roast at 375 for 35 minutes. Stir in 4 cups of greens (I use spinach), cover and roast for 10 more minutes. Serve it over crusty bread or polenta.

You can find the full recipe on lifeintheboat.com.
