An Organic Breakfast


We are in Denmark on our first morning, waking up refreshed and we didn't eat Danish.  In fact, we didn't even leave the hotel but in fact, ate at their continental breakfast.  Mind you, this is NOT like a U.S. continental breakfast.  We are staying at the Axel Guldsmeden hotel in Copenhagen for one night before we leave for Sweden today.  We are not jet lagged at all after a long day yesterday and a good sleep last night.  But we were feeling a lot more lazy this morning and felt like enjoying the confines our our cozy lodging here. 



One look at their breakfast offerings and we were staying.



I had my usual scrambled eggs (freshly made with green onions) and toast



with the most delicious homemade bread that I sliced myself from one of their many artisan loaves of bread, along with plenty of butter and jams and jellies.





They also offered Danish ham and salamis, mounds of fresh cheeses
fresh sliced fruits and platters of the best cakes, chock-full of nuts, dried fruit and honey.
They had interesting homemade salads; a cauliflower salad and a bitterroot and carrot salad.


 Bruce and I really like the yogurts they offered that were homemade with lots of toppings to choose from.






We are re-fueled and ready to tackle another day in Denmark.

Trader Joe's Gluten-Free Oatmeal, Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chip Cookies

I don't have very many gluten-free cookies on my blog because quite frankly, I usually don't like gluten-free.  But occasionally, I do find a good recipe and this is one that is from the back of the Trader Joe's oatmeal and it's a good one.  My friend brought some over to our house last weekend when Nick and family were here for our birthday celebrations  and we all loved them. My friend lives a few blocks away and we walk the neighborhood together on weekends.  We can easily go 5 miles in no time, talking non-stop.  She loves exploring our neighborhood as much as I do and we discover so many favorite little spots.  We even found a property with a horse (or more like a pony, I should say.)   The views are always quite lovely, too.  Bruce and I had our thirty-ninth wedding anniversary on July 18th and I made a point of walking past the house where we had our wedding reception.  I told my friend, "Thirty-nine years ago today, t...

Meatloaf by Mark Bittman

Once again, I turned on the television yesterday and saw that Mark Bittman was on the Today show and was making his version of  meatloaf .  This must be meatloaf season.  It was surprisingly similar to the  Pioneer Woman's version  who was also recently on.   I was a little surprised of his version because Mark Bittman is into healthy eating and has lost a lot of weight and improved his health by changing his diet which he writes about in his book,  Food Matters .  His meatloaf recipe also included bacon and cheese!  I must be doing something wrong.  The thing to remember, which he writes about in his book, is that you can eat healthy without going extreme or changing your whole life.    If you don't know who Mark Bittman is, he is a food writer and a four star chef with multiple cookbooks who loves to eat but changed his food philosophy to improve his health.  He tells his story in Food Matters and provides ...

Waking Up in Vegas

and just like that...we were Waking Up in Vegas.   Just like the Katy Perry song. We went to her 78th performance which was her second-to-last Las Vegas residency show entitled "Play".  That was perfect for us because we went to Vegas simply to play.  Her concert was a great finale for us because it was high energy and full of silliness, just the way Katy Perry is.  And we were feeling it after three nights in Las Vegas. "Get up, and shake the gutter off your clothes now, That's what you get for waking up in Vegas".    Here's what she said about her show: "I created this show after the birth of my daughter, Daisy Dove. When I met her, it was like all the love I was ever searching for finally showed up. This show is for everyone’s inner child and for the hope that maybe if we could all see life through the eyes of a child, we would be free. Because never forget, love is and will always be the key,” she said. We went to Vegas spur of the moment because Br...
