Editor’s Letter

love summer in Boulder. Our beautiful city is always abuzz with exciting activities and events. But perhaps my favorite summer activity is getting up early to be at the farmers’ market when the bell rings to nab the fresh, organic produce, beautiful flowers and scrumptious baked goods.

I grew up in a place where the farmers’ market consisted mainly of craft items and bell peppers that rolled off the back of a food service truck. So, choosing healthy, organic food was not at the top of my priority list. However, once I discovered the Boulder County Farmers’ Market, I became hooked. Today I seek out local foods whenever possible, be it at the market or Whole Foods, and if you’re like me, you’ll enjoy reading Home Grown Deliciousness (page 34) to discover local foods you might not have tried—yet. Another local love affair is the farm-to-table dinner. Boulderites flock to these popup dinners in the quaint atmosphere of a family farm. Oftentimes these casual affairs start out with a lovely bike ride to the country locale. I haven’t tried one, but it’s on my list for this summer now that I’m armed with so much information about them from Farm Dinners: As Fresh As It Gets (page 30). As you flip through these pages and learn about the local bounty, I hope you’ll consider the little ways you can reach a bit further to eat locally—Boulder has so much to offer.

Correction – Boulder Baby

The July issue Locally Owned section, Keepin’ It Clean, incorrectly stated that Boulder Baby’s labels are 100 percent post consumer. The company, however, is dedicated to be 100 percent post consumer when possible. Also, Jay Palmer, CEO and President, sold the Floyd’s 99 Barbershops franchise in Austin, Texas, in 2011. We sincerely regret the miscommunication.

While some people worry about water supply limitations, and environmental impacts such as pesticide residues in storm water, the facts indicate that the benefits to turfgrass are numerous, and simply banning or removing turfgrass from our landscapes may be short-sighted. Grass doesn’t waste water—people do. Healthy grass can be maintained with far lower water usage than most people apply. A review of published, fact-based research on turfgrass indicates that it is more than an aesthetic choice for homeowners and areas. In fact, grass has many lifestyle and environmental benefits including an increase in property values, lessening of the heat island effect and boosting one’s oxygen footprint. Removing lawns and replacing it with rocks or other less beneficial plants may have unintended consequences. Most people prefer a lawn, so removing it often decreases property values. Individuals interested in learning more about grass are encouraged to visit Sod-Growers.com

A Guide to Getting Through the First Year of College Boulder-based UniversityParent has published an easy-to-use, practical guide to one of the most challenging times for both parents and students—the freshman year of college. The UniversityParent “Guide to Supporting Your Student’s Freshman Year” gathers advice from more than a dozen higher education and student life experts who are in some cases parents themselves. No matter how organized parents try to be, nearly everyone with a student leaving for college is confronted with questions. The Guide, organized by the seasons leading up and into the first year of college, addresses everything from making a budget and understanding financial aid to navigating the changing parent-child relationship. As UniversityParent began planning the Guide, staff organized parent focus groups to discover what was important to them as their students headed to college. Roommate issues topped the list; health was important, too. The UniversityParent “Guide to Supporting Your Student’s Freshman Year” can be purchased on UniversityParent.com

“Crafty” Canning The new face of canned beer Article Jordan Lebowitz | Photography Provided

fter more than a decade of progress, beer in a can has reached new heights, and one Front Range brewery may have started it all. Back in 2001, Oskar Blues Brewery was looking for a way to bring more business into their quiet mountain restaurant located in Lyons. The plan was to find a way to distribute their craft beer locally. The solution required the rebranding of an entire industry. “We received a fax asking us to consider canning our craft beer,” says Chad Melis of Oskar Blues, “We all laughed.” Once the laughter subsided and the facts were examined, the team at Oskar Blues knew what they had to do. “We would fill up a van full of our canned beer and go hand them out. We knew that one taste of that fresh beer would be another step in changing people’s ideas about what it means to drink your beer from a can,” says 18

Boulder Lifestyle | August 2014

Melis. Even after some initial success, people still expected a more palatable and mild-flavored brew when drinking from a can. How did Oskar Blues combat the stigma? By releasing new canned beer flavors that were even stronger than the last. Another local craft brewer that has fully engaged the canning trend is Avery Brewing Company. Avery’s Packaging Manager John Greene explains, “We have been canning for about four years now…kegs are the superior vessel when storing beer. Cans are the next best option. We can’t keep up with the demand right now.” The canning trend’s presence can be felt throughout the microbrew world, all the way down to relative newcomers. Odd 13 Brewery in Lafayette is in the midst of focusing distribution efforts more heavily towards canning. All of Odd 13’s flagship brews will be canned beginning this October. continued >

So, what are advantages of canning craft beer? Freshness, portability and environmental responsibility! The fundamental advantage of canning craft beer is the atmosphere it provides for the liquid inside. Namely, no light or oxygen is able to penetrate the vessel once sealed, keeping the intended flavor as fresh as possible. The preservation that a can provides simply outperforms any bottle. From a marketing standpoint, beer is often sold as a lifestyle choice. Having a portable, yet delicious beer selection is a fairly new idea in the craft beer world. The outdoor lifestyle culture now has a plethora of aggressive craft beers that are easy to pack, light weight, durable and crushable for quick cleanup. Furthermore, aluminum is much easier and more efficient to recycle compared to glass. The smaller surface area and stackability of cans also allows for a lower carbon footprint during transport. A delivery pallet of canned beer holds 100 cases compared to just 60 cases of bottled brew. While it may still take time to remove canned beer from its pigeonhole of the past, Oskar Blues and other Front Range craft brewers are blazing the trail to a canned beer renaissance. 20

Todd Reed Brings Men’s Styles to Life

Q. When did you create the men’s line? A. It’s a work-in-progress. The official launch is in September, but some of the pieces were previewed at Couture in late May. Q. What is the inspiration behind these pieces? A. Accessibility. I want men to feel sexy, unique and bold. The men’s designs I’ve seen aren’t innovative. By using leather the cost isn’t as high and the pieces are easier to wear. Tough looking, yet elegant. Men, at the end of the day, really do love good design. Q. How do the men’s pieces differ from the women’s line? A. They are a simpler form of elegance. Q. How are they similar? A. Both are thoughtful and wearable. I love when women wear my men’s designs! Q. What are your favorite pieces to design? A. All of my designs are my babies. I put the same amount of energy into every single piece and each is special. Q. Are you working on any particularly high-profile or special custom projects? A.

Where Authenticity Meets Passion An Interview with Johnny Alamo Article Dell Bleekman | Photography Provided

usinessman and outdoor enthusiast Johnny Alamo has recently hung his own shingle, Johnny Alamo Entertainment, right here in Boulder. Alamo recently left his post as executive director of Warren Miller Entertainment, a Boulder-based company he had been with for 13 years, to start his own business, a talent representation, film production and marketing consulting agency. “I am fortunate to work with many talented individuals from Olympic athletes to celebrity chefs to book authors,” Alamo says, “all of whom are inspiring individuals making a difference in the world.” Indeed, Alamo’s eclectic roster reflects his causes, interests and passions. And it reflects the town of Boulder. Why Boulder?

Alamo’s choice to start his business in Boulder was as simple as surveying the landscape. Most obvious was the physical terrain

that allows for Alamo’s many outdoor physical pursuits. Naturally, there was the business environment. “There’s an appetite here for entrepreneurs to be brave, to explore and to create,” he states. And, perhaps echoing a few of his more adventurous clients, Alamo adds, “There are innovators in Boulder willing to take risks just like professional skiers do on the race course.” But there was something else: so many sports and entertainment agencies are in Los Angeles, Chicago and New York; oftentimes agents representing talent or large brands become disconnected, viewing what they’re selling as mere assets. Alamo skied professionally, built a large network of professional athletes and created films that showcase the outdoor experience. Not only does he want to be here, he needs to be here. “If I’m going to deliver what I’m preaching, which is authentic brand alignment,” he says, “I need to live the lifestyle of the outdoor enthusiast.” An Authentic Approach

This type of authentic partnership-building is at the heart of what Alamo does. He sees storytelling, something he learned co-producing films at Warren Miller Entertainment, as the lens through which sponsorships can turn into more meaningful partnerships. continued >

“A large part of my focus with Johnny Alamo Entertainment is working with brands that want to enter into partnership, but in an authentic way, so they can garner the brand loyalty they’re looking for,” Alamo says.

Elite Alpine Racing

The Vail Valley Foundation is the organizing committee for the 2015 World Alpine Championships, which take place in Vail and Beaver Creek next February. The foundation saw that it could benefit from Alamo’s deep connections. Looking for a company with a strong background in partnership cultivation and relationships with corporations across the country, the foundation tapped Johnny Alamo Entertainment to sell and broker partnerships for the event. This will be only the third time the World Alpine Championships have been held in the United States and Alamo wants 2015 to leave lasting impressions. His company’s efforts will focus on new categories of sponsorship that are currently untapped, bringing closure to the few remaining open sponsorship packages for 2015, while looking to broaden the event’s appeal. “These partnerships will create a groundswell of momentum before, during and after the event,” he says. There’s an Olympic-like quality to the alpine championships; indeed, alpine ski racing thrives in Europe, and with 70 countries represented, 800 athletes attending and more than 750 million viewers throughout the world, Alamo will be working to ensure it’s a worldclass event. And that should be no surprise; after all, it’s his passion. To learn more about Johnny Alamo Entertainment, visit

The organization focuses on both adoption and parenting services, but stresses that each woman needs to make the decision for herself regarding what is right. “After the residents are here for 3–4 weeks, we see that they have gotten rest, good nutrition and have more hope for their futures,” Schmidt says. “Soon you start to see the sparkle in their eyes and color in the cheeks. They are getting their grounding. It’s wonderful.” EXTRA HELP ALONG THE WAY

A Soft Landing for Pregnant Women in Crisis Article Emily O’Brien | Photography Provided

ucked onto a side street in Boulder sits a little house making a big impact for women at risk. Mother House is a non-profit organization that takes in women who have found themselves with an unplanned pregnancy and without a place to live. More than 700 women and their newborns have been served since its doors opened in 1982. Of the up to seven women (and their babies) who can stay at house, they find a nurturing home-like environment, supervised by a director and a live-in house manager who is available any time of the day or night. Residents are given encouragement, guidance and emotional support to direct their lives and to develop the confidence and skills to live independently and responsibly. “The house was specifically built for community. Women can come in at any point in their pregnancy and stay until the baby is three months old,” says Mother House Executive Director Coreen Schmidt. “It’s quite a big group! It’s community living so the dynamics change with each individual,” exclaims Schmidt. “And just like any big family, there’s going to be curfews and chores.” LIFE AT MOTHER HOUSE

Women must follow several rules: go to work or school for at least 20 hours a week, pay rent and a deposit (a small percentage of their in28

Boulder Lifestyle | August 2014

Mother House sets a precedence to make sure women are truly utilizing their resources (like applying for Medicaid and food stamps) and its coordinator helps make sure none of the women fall through the cracks or miss opportunities. The organization also tries to find housing for women when their stay is near completion, but often finds it hard since there is little-to-no vacancy available in town. “Times are changing; housing is very difficult,” Schmidt says. “The women are facing a multitude of problems.” She refers to the low-income housing crisis currently happening in Boulder where people who work for minimum wage are having an increasingly challenging time finding affordable rent. “Experts agree it takes 2-3 years after a housing crisis before you are really stable,” Schmidt says. But Schmidt captures it all when she says, “Mother House is a soft landing at a time when they are so under stress.” A soft landing is indeed what’s needed to help these women get back on their feet. The stress alone of an unplanned pregnancy is a crisis in and of itself. Add to the mix not having a home to stay in, for whatever reason that may be, only complicates the issue further. Having a resource as wonderful and welcoming as Mother House that helps women in crisis live in a safe and supportive place while they plan for the future is truly spectacular. It offers an opportunity to instill hope and the chance of a thriving future for its residents and their babies. HOW YOU CAN HELP

Contribute to “Bundles of Joy” – provide essential items for little ones because Mother House residents don’t have the financial ability to purchase all the items needed to help raise a child. Packages range from $49 (which includes a large box of diapers and package of wipes) to $247 (which purchases breast milk storage bags, a car seat and stroller.) Attend the Mother House Art and Wine Gala at Lionsgate Event Center in Lafayette on August 24th. During this special event, you’ll get to enjoy a jazz combo, Mother House wine & beer tasting, as well as lovely appetizers Boulder, CO and desserts. The affair will also showcase local, 303.447.9602 talented artists and hold a live auction. Mother-House.org

Farm Dinners As Fresh As It Gets

Article Emily O’Brien | Photography John Dale Photography and Angie Wilson Photography

n a county full of foodies, great weather and thriving farmsteads, you don’t need to travel far to find unique and garden-fresh dinner options. After all, Bon Appetit didn’t name Boulder its “foodiest town of 2010” just because. Truthfully, we are a leader in the current local food revolution. But while farmto-table restaurants have become closer to the norm in Boulder County, something even crispier, juicier, tastier is rapidly gaining popularity—farm dinners. Farm dinners are farm-to-table dinners on a…you guessed it… farm! They’re typically between the months of May through October, outside and surrounded by nature, and with many ingredients plucked from the very same soil earlier in the day. Can it get much fresher than that? “It’s nice, fresh, casual, but fun,” states Kelly Grebe, founder and guide of Awe-Struck Outdoors. Wondering whom you will dine with? Solo travelers, families, locals and even tourists have been known to partake. And while each farm varies in seating arrangement, you may well find yourself sitting next to a stranger at one long table—community-style in nature. And that’s OK; it’s all part of the charm. If the night goes well, you’ll be fast friends before dessert.

AWE-STRUCK OUTDOORS, Boulder

By using a local guide service like Awe-Struck Outdoors, you have the opportunity to add incredible value to your experience. It strives to create a sense of community in the outings and sets a great mellow vibe on its bike rides for the evening. At Awe-Struck Outdoors, you can join in a tour celebrating the abundance of beautiful farms in the Front Range area. There are dozens of family-owned farms surrounding Boulder, which provides a bounty that benefits the nearby community in countless ways. On Thursday nights, join other locals or tourists on a bike tour beginning in downtown Boulder. Then follow the creek path to a beautiful farm. Often times live music and wine tasting are included. Guided trips include a farm tour and 3-course farm dinner, and Awe-Struck welcomes bike riders of all skill levels. It thoroughly enjoys taking people off the tourist-beaten path and into picture-perfect scenery at a mellow cruiser pace. AweStruckOutdoors.com MEADOW LARK, Boulder County

Meadow Lark Farm Dinners arrange delicious, twice-a-week meals at a wide range of farms throughout the Boulder County area. Farmers collaborate with Meadow Lark to offer these dinners. This might be because of its mobile kitchen (and outstanding chef Alber-

to Sabbadini) and then how Meadow Lark packs it all up at the end of the night. But more importantly, it buys only the best ingredients for its dinners. Centering menus around the days’ harvest so it can purchase as much as possible from the farm that is hosting the dinner. Meadow Lark Farm Dinners times vary with day of the week, season and weather. Guests are greeted by the farmers, who serve as the evenings’ hosts. They offer an apéritif and (for those up for it) an easygoing tour of the farm by foot. Dinner is then served outside at its table lengthy enough for 42 guests. FarmDinners.com ASPEN MOON FARM, Longmont

Aspen Moon Farm is a farmstead that prides itself on creating gorgeous landscapes and harvesting delectable produce. Its approach to both landscaping and farming is 100% natural—meaning zero pesticides, chemical fertilizers or anything it may feel is “questionable” of any sort. It also practices biodynamic farming as well as “old-fashioned holistic methods.” You can find four farm-to-table dinners a

summer there, which it feels are the ideal opportunity to connect and interact with both the farm and the local food movement. Aspen Moon Farm loves to show its guests how the food is grown and then turn it into a delicious meal right in front of their very eyes. AspenMoonFarm.com SPORTS GARAGE, Boulder

This year Sports Garage has partnered with Jacob Springs Farm and The Wallace Brothers to offer a special bike-and-dine experience on selected Saturdays. Jacob Springs specializes in grass-fed proteins (lamb, duck, chicken, goose and eggs) and also cultivates a mouthwatering array of herbs, fruits and veggies, while the Wallace Brothers bring a seasoned knowledge of farm-to-table cooking. The adventure kicks off at Jacob Springs Farm with an optional bike ride, a 25–30mi loop through flat and rolling terrain at a talking pace. Once complete, diners chow down on a three-course, family-style meal prepared by The Wallace Brothers. Sports Gacontinued >

rage also invites a “special guest” for each dinner, which is a nice added bonus to the evening. June’s guest was Dr. Andy Pruitt, founder of the Boulder Center for Sports Medicine. SportsGarage.net

A working sustainable farm and education center, with a mission to support and empower our local food community, Lyons Farmette entertains guests all season long via farm dinners. These meals are reminiscent of a bygone era of homemade cooking out on the farm and the best way it knows to celebrate the peak of the summer harvest with friends and family. Two feasts take place in August; the first being The Black Cat Hog Roast where it will slow cook a Heritage Mulefoot Hog over plum wood embers and pair it with vegetables from the morning’s harvest. This particular evening benefits The Boulder County Arts Alliance. The following dinner called The Spice of Life Farm Dinner will feature Chef Dijkstra to prepare a meal picked with fresh ingredients and crafted with his traditional creativity and flair, incorporating fresh twists alongside comforting classics. The evening will benefit the Lyons Arts and Humanities Council. LyonsFarmette.com One common farm dinner feature that is noticeable across the board is that the spreads offer delectable homegrown ingredients, build community and bring happiness. Guests visit with old friends and create new meaningful connections with others. Not to mention the outdoor, one-of-a-kind, evening experience of eating produce from the farm on the farm. Food is what brings us together, and eating it where it was first planted and nurtured, seems quite fitting for the occasion.

Home Grown Deliciousness By Jules Marie | Photography Provided

n abundance of tasty foods made in Boulder County have appeared on the natural food scene. These companies distinguish their products by using ingredients that truly do come from nature as evidenced by the easily pronounced and recognizable ingredients on their labels. In addition to their uniqueness, many of these products are also part of the emerging “free-from” category meaning foods

free from top allergens. Not only do these companies source the highest-quality ingredients available, many are certified organic, fair-trade certified, eco-conscious and promote social causes. It is the hope of these visionaries that others will look to them for inspiration and guidance in creating foods that are free from stuff everyone knows is simply not healthy or natural.

Inglorious Monk Bakery Whoopie pies, bites and cakes galore are flying out of the baskets at local stores. Inglorious Monk Bakery Founder Nancy Coppom grew up near Lancaster County, Pa., and was influenced by the delicious whoopie pies she had as a kid. “It’s the Amish who invented whoopie pies,” declares Coppom. “They’d make little cakes from leftover cake batter and put cream in the middle and the kids would shout ‘Whoopie!’” Coppom has perfected a way to make her products using premium ingredients like rice flour, organic coconut milk and vanilla rather than with common allergens. “I use the very best of every ingredient. I believe that makes the difference,” she says. “I make them so anyone can eat them. The pies are yummy and rich and the bites are the ideal size for the little ones.” She produces all the products in a dedicated allergen-free bakery. Though Coppom’s business began in 2012, her goal is to grow organically one store at a time as whoopie pies secure their foothold in the industry. Pop over to the Boulder Farmers’ Market and try a Vanilla Dream Chocolate Chip or Pumpkin Whoopie Pie for $3. IMonkBakery.com

Life of Riley Foods A love for gourmet Paleo foods and CrossFit workouts spurred Abigail Knowles to open Life of Riley Foods. This 34

Boulder Lifestyle | August 2014

recently planted down-to-earth company’s primary offering—nut butters—are handcrafted in small batches. The company also make sauces, spreads, dressings and marinades. Knowles incorporates locally sourced, nutritiously rich, seasonal ingredients into her products, and fans love the simplicity of her recipes. Jars of almond, walnut and nut butters sweetened with organic maple sugar or organic raw honey are produced in a commissary kitchen and available online only. “Life of Riley comes from a dog I had when I went to the University of Colorado,” Knowles says. “He was diagnosed with liver disease. I changed his diet and he

lived three more years. I made every meal for him. I always had this belief that food can help our life in every way. Life of Riley means to live a thoroughly enjoyable life through healthy eating and a healthy lifestyle.” LifeOfRileyFoods.com

Bella Gluten-Free Mary Capone combined her rich Italian heritage with her love of healthy food and opened Bella Gluten-Free in 2010. As a professional chef, mother and a celiac, Capone’s mission was clearly revealed when she saw a need for better-tasting gluten-free foods. Today, her allergen-free products are produced in a 100% allergen-free facility and include an all-purpose baking mix and mixes for pizza dough, rolls, focaccia, multigrain bread and cinnamon raisin bread. Though Bella Gluten-Free competes with well-known established brands, Capone believes the premium stoneground flours she uses set her products apart as they have the structure to stand up to baking without crumbling. “I’ve taken everything out of my mixes so people can add back in what they can tolerate,” says Capone, whose book, The Gluten-Free Italian Cookbook, paved the way for stores to carry her mixes. “I believe in creating beautiful food that pleases the palate and is both natural and healthy for the body,” affirms Capone, a self-described serial recipe writer, whose website is loaded with recipes and how-to videos. BellaGlutenFree.com

Keen One Quinoa What started as a business school project to make quinoa a college staple has morphed into a fruitful company known for their quick-cooking, seasoned quinoa meal mixes—nutritious, protein-packed blends like Apple Berry Quinoa Cereal, Thai Curry, Chipotle or Garden Medley Quinoa mix. “We were college students and wanted something quick, convenient and more nutritious than ramen noodles which have no nutritional benefit,” says Christopher Algea, founder of Keen One Quinoa. “We settled on quinoa and started experimenting with seasonings and came up with these delicious, super convenient quinoa mixes which are pre-washed, par-cooked and seasoned. We’re one of the only sole quinoa quick-cooking dinner mixes. Other brands

add rice, millet or other grains and require 15 to 20 minutes to cook. We’re also certified organic, vegan and gluten free.” No one was as delusional and crazy as Algea was to keep the idea going. “I made an all-or-nothing trip to Bolivia and everything turned around for me. I found the answers I needed and decided to go big as friends and family invested in a new manufacturing process,” says Algea. Importing quinoa came with its own challenges and Algea is thankful for Boulder’s supportive community, including receiving a Whole Foods Market Local Producer Loan. Keen One Quinoa scored a coup when REI chose to carry their products nationally as their conveniently packaged, quick-cooking protein-rich mixes appeal to REI shoppers. KeenOneFoods.com

Missy J’s Truffley Treats Everyone loves Missy J’s Peanut Butter Carob Cups, states Jodi Feinhor-Dennis who is reinventing carob and creating a candy revolution with her tempting carob confections.

Wholly Bites

Birch Benders

Lisa Turner is on fire to change the world with her Paleo-friendly snack company Wholly Bites, maker of grain-free, gluten-free Paleo clusters. Sweet, crunchy clusters are packed with organic fruits, nuts and seeds, then sweetened with dates and pure honey and sprinkled with a hefty dose of superfoods like chia, hemp, cacao nibs and flax. “We want to be more than a delicious crunchy snack. We believe in social benefits and we’re mission-driven and values-oriented. We want to help promote healthy lifestyle changes that include education about the benefits of a plant-based Paleo diet focused on plant foods and unprocessed foods,” says Turner. “I grew up on farms in North Carolina, hence my deep love for food and good nutrition. We had bee hives and you could go out and reach in and pull the honey out of the hive,” says Turner, whose passion for her mission is obvious when she declares Wholly Bites to be a small company with big plans.

Sidle up to the breakfast bar and indulge in a plate of outstanding homemade pancakes made by Birch Benders Micro-Pancakery, quite possibly the company responsible for invigorating a lagging and dormant category—pancakes. Birch Benders founders Matt LaCasse and Naomi Honig upset the pancake world when they introduced a natural and organic, just-add-water pancake mix in a jar in 2011. The award-winning mixes require water only—no eggs, oil or milk need to be added—a unique feature which adds to the products’ convenience. They offer seven tempting flavors including classic ginger spice, white chip macadamia nut and gluten-free in jars or re-sealable pouches. Hats off to Birch Benders Micro-Pancakery for paying homage to the micro-brewery culture and producing a craft food product in small batches so friends could gather to enjoy it.

Backyard Transformation RSL designs outdoor-loving couple’s new living space Article Heather Shoning Photography Alex Vaughn

hen Jeff and Meg Stevenson wanted to recreate the backyard living space of their Lake of the Pines home, they turned to Rock Solid Landscaping (RSL) to get the job done. “The house was built in 1989,” Jeff says. “There was a wood decking, a boardwalk and stairs to the lake. And the second story wood deck. They were all in bad shape.” Jeff and Meg knew they wanted a hot tub and a built-in grill. Beyond that they gave John Herron at RSL creative license to design a backyard oasis. “John had great creative vision,” Jeff says. “He asked me to meet him to look at stone. While we were there he saw this one stone lying flat and envisioned it standing on end as a water feature.” He says he and Meg enjoyed the design process with RSL. “It is easier to react to ideas than to come up with them on our own,” says Jeff. Herron explains the approach to the project. “They gave me quite a bit of freedom to take their ideas and turn them into reality,” Herron says. “We created entertainment zones. We created a warm feel and brought in shade with the pergola.” After months of design and construction work, RSL turned more than 2500 square feet of space into areas for dining, cooking, the hot tub and a firepit. The entire design leads you on a path to the large flagstone stairs leading to the lake. In the center—the large stone water feature Herron had envisioned at the stone yard. Herron is proud of the flagstone work and the way the design fits into the home’s surroundings and the foothills. RSL caters to the discerning client looking for a high-end, custom finish, focusing on tiein residential design and construction. He enjoys the satisfaction of meeting clients’ needs and delivering the best product possible. “They use and enjoy the space,” Herron says. “That’s the benefit to me.” Jeff says they like to spend as much time as possible outside. “We love the way this connects the property to the lake—the stairs are a big improvement,” says Jeff. The space is designed in such a way that they move around it based whether or not they want to be in the sun. “We love it—it way exceeded our expectations,” Jeff says. “It makes an impact on anyone who comes to visit. They are always pretty amazed.” Rock Solid Landscape 3686 Stagecoach North, Unit A, Longmont 303.772.4736 RSLInc.net 40

What's Cooking?

Kitchenette Chronicles: The Home Grown Chef Grams’ Apple Pie, From 1915 To Now Article Misty Lebowitz

verything I know and love about food I learned from my Grams. My favorite time of summer was early August when Grams and I would head to the orchard to pick our apples for pies and canning. Grams loved her some pies! Apple pie, cherry pie, pumpkin pie (Yes, Mom, with cinnamon), lemon meringue pie, mincemeat pie, rhubarb pie and my favorite chocolate pie, just to name a few. Any of which regularly sat in the kitchen window for a passerby to taste. From scratch, she would start with this amazing, buttery, flaky crust and work her way to the divine fillings. Humming and singing the entire time, we would laugh and bake. I jotted down notes about the recipe on any piece of scrap we could find and then fresh from the oven, we would eat. This is Grams’ homemade Apple Pie recipe that she learned from my Great Grandmother Zoe back in 1915, but with some twists and turns. Don’t worry, Grams, I’ll keep it simple! Buttery Pie Crust

This crust is the original recipe except I add a whole scraped vanilla bean to the dough. You can omit it if you want, but I recommend you try it. Please do not substitute vanilla extract, it won’t deliver the same results. I use this crust for all my pies at my cottage Bakeshop. • 1 Vanilla Bean split to scrape • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour • 1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt • 1 teaspoon sugar • 1 cup (2 sticks) chilled unsalted butter, cut into pieces • 1/4 to 1/2 cup ice water

When we visited the orchard, we would get a variety of apples and they made the best pies I’ve ever had! Six Granny Smith apples, Three Pippin and Three Pink Lady apples are my favorite mix this year!

• 1/2 cup sugar • 1/4 cup dark brown sugar • Zest and juice of 1 lemon • 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg • Pinch ground cloves • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter • 1 large egg, beaten • 3 Pinches Turbinado sugar (you can use regular sugar) Whole Pie

Heat oven to 375 degrees. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough into two 1/8-inch thick disks to a diameter slightly larger than that of an 11-inch plate. Press one pastry disk into the pie plate. Place the other disk on waxed paper, and cover with plastic wrap. Chill all pastry until firm, about 30 minutes. In a large bowl, combine apples, sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, spices and flour. Toss well. Spoon apples into pie pan. Dab with butter and cover with remaining pastry disk. Cut several steam vents across top. Seal by crimping edges as desired. Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse Turbinado sugar. Bake about one hour until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Let cool completely on wire rack before serving. If you serve the pie warm you can lose too much of that delicious filling!

Apple Pie Filling

This original recipe had pear slices and raisins, but we just use apples. Grams always preferred Granny Smith, but be creative. • 12 apples - peeled, cored and sliced 42

Editing Your Kitchen, One Gadget at a Time Article Sheryl Hadley

love food. I love cooking it, eating it and sharing it. I also love living in a town with a killer farmers’ market, incredible farm-to-table restaurants and where the word “local” means business. With my interest in all things food, it naturally follows that I love being in the kitchen. Cooking is relaxing for me, and the kitchen is the hub of the home—what party were you at recently that didn’t end up there? My point exactly. And since, like many of us, I work full time, at the end of the day I want to come into a kitchen where it’s easy to make a wonderful meal. At Organization & Relocation, we know the only way to make this happen is if the kitchen is organized, user-friendly and lean. That means an annual purge and deep clean that sets the bar high—but not out of reach. We start by emptying and cleaning every single drawer. Cleanliness always infuses a space with new energy. Next, we sort like items on the counter and look them over with a discerning eye. Is anything repeated? What is that ancient

Boulder Lifestyle | August 2014

cherry pitter doing here, anyway? Are there utensils that don’t get used because a sharp knife will suffice? If so, I encourage my clients to give them away or recycle them. Not having to paw through your utensil drawer for five minutes looking for that elusive peeler is a beautiful thing. We then transform the drawers with clear organizing trays, simply by puzzling together different-size trays that best accommodate the contents of each. The clear ones work well because you can really see what’s in them. A “junk drawer” is essential to every kitchen, and it’s a great place to store those pesky things that never seem to have an obvious home—matches, pens, scissors, string, Postit notes, etc. After the purge I suggest that my clients reassemble these random items (singing bottle opener, anyone?) in a different way to make sure they notice what’s in there. And yes: the junk drawer gets organizing trays, too! Next on our thorough clean and purge list are the cupboards. It’s amazing how

obvious the lesser-used items become when everything’s out and similar things are grouped together. Why are there so many mixing bowls? When was the last time that wok was liberated from its shadowy corner? We always attempt to improve the layout, depending on the client’s habits and favorites, as we replace items after the purge. We encourage clients to use the Org&Relo mantra: “Do I use it? Do I love it? Do I appreciate it?” This helps to make decisions without sentimentality confusing things. Then come the food zones. Food gets edited with a ruthless eye, especially the classic, “This looks cool, I’ll try it tonight!” that’s still sitting there a year later. Shelves are wiped down and we only put back the items the client will use, grouped by type. Ergonomics are key to organizing any space, so we order in a way that makes sense for your needs—healthy and most-used items at eye level, baking items all together, pet food on the bottom (if your pet can be trusted!), sweet treats for kids on an upper shelf, etc. In the pantry we use containers with typed labels to group smaller items. Keeping our kitchens organized and ready for action makes cooking a meal at the end of a long day a surprisingly stress-free experience. And you know what? That may be the most delicious local ingredient of all.

Ways to Protect Your Family Outdoors B

efore your family begins enjoying the great outdoors during this adventure-filled season, make sure your yard is properly treated to avoid the dangers of poison ivy, oak or sumac. Learn the proper steps to keep the threat of poisonous plants away from your family and property. Ashton Ritchie, Lawn & Garden expert and author, offers this expert advice for protecting your family: Locating the danger

Keeping your family safe begins with proper identification of these harmful, rash-producing plants. In the right environment, poisonous weeds can grow and spread quickly. Using a photo or resource like StopPoisonIvy.com can help identify the various poison weeds and their stages (Poison Ivy often emerges red and only starts to turn green in late spring). Survey your yard once a month, keeping a close eye on these common areas: • Ground Cover: A common area for poison ivy is along the edge of a wooded area or around any shaded and less maintained section of the yard. • Trees: By disguising itself as part of a tree limb, poison ivy often climbs up trees situated in shady locations. • Edges: If you find that poison ivy continues to invade your outdoor space year after year, you may be experiencing the “edge effect,” a phenomenon that occurs when the wooded areas surrounding your yard dry out. Various weeds flourish under such conditions. • Stumps: Dead stumps are also a common hangout for these harmful weeds.

Roundup® Poison Ivy Plus Tough Brush Killer, which penetrates the waxy surface of poison ivy, oak, sumac, kudzu and other tough weeds, while also killing at the roots. • Wear protection Before contact with these poisonous plants, always wear the proper clothing and protection. Be sure to cover your hands with thick, long gloves and wear a long sleeved shirt and pants in case you accidently touch the plants. • Choose the right time Always choose a calm, wind-free day for applying products to avoid contact with other desirable plants in your yard. If you can, it is best to apply with a temperature above 60 degrees F. • Apply a weed-killing solution Spray a specialized weed killer, such as Roundup® Poison Ivy Plus Tough Brush Killer on the leaves until saturated, taking care not to apply to nearby trees, grasses and desirable plants. You should always read and follow label directions. • Wait for the plant to completely die Perennial weeds such as poison ivy may take 4 or more weeks for a complete kill, so be patient and follow the directions on the specialized weed killer packaging. • Regularly monitor surroundings Keep new weeds from growing by surveying your outdoor areas at least once a month throughout the busy weed-growing months of May through November.

Eliminate the threat

Once you have determined where the poison ivy is located, you can work to remove it from your surroundings. Look for a weed-eliminating product that works double-duty, such as 46

Summer Travel Smarts Ways to protect your phone on vacation

he kids are out of school and you’ve been stockpiling your vacation time for months. It’s prime time to hit the road (or skies) for a well-deserved getaway. But before you dust off that suitcase, take some time to assess the protection of one of your most valuable travel tools — your smartphone.

• Install an anti-theft application on your child’s device to locate or lock it and wipe data. • Back up your child’s phone regularly to recover pictures, music and contacts quickly. Dangerous locations

A recent survey conducted by Asurion, the recognized industry leader in technology protection, found that 77 percent of travelers say their phone is either “very” or “extremely” important to have while traveling. In fact, 46 percent of those surveyed revealed they use their mobile phone to research vacation information, such as destinations and deals. Other popular uses include booking transportation tickets, making dining reservations and using special travel-related apps downloaded to their phone.

Protecting your phone also includes keeping it from thieves. When Asurion asked smartphone users where they experienced the theft of their device, the most common settings were locations that you might find yourself while on vacation, including: • Restaurant or bar • Street or sidewalk • Store or mall • Parking lot •Public transportation

Protecting your phone

Tips to prevent phone theft

It’s easy to see that smartphones are critical for summer travel. Since nothing ruins a vacation like a lost, stolen or damaged cellphone, be sure to consider these tips before heading out: • Use a good screen protector and invest in a quality cover or case. This is an easy and inexpensive way to prevent scratching, cracks and other external damage. • Invest in mobile protection for your phone with a company such as Asurion, which provides a complete suite of technology protection products to safeguard your family from the disaster of a lost, stolen or damaged cellphone. • Plug the phone charger into a power surge protector. • Password-protect your phone. In the event it is lost or stolen, it will be your first line of defense against identity theft.

There are several steps you can take to reduce the risk of smartphone theft, including the following: • Keep the phone in a pocket or purse where it will be out of site. • Use a Bluetooth device to be able to keep the phone safely tucked away. • Use headphones when listening to music. • Password-protect the phone. • Be aware of surroundings when in public. Focusing on texting, email, social media or any other mobile application puts users at risk. • Have an application that will remotely lock the smartphone and wipe the data if necessary. • Don’t set a smartphone out on a table.

Driver's Notebook

Topless in South Florida Our sister publication judges the 2014 SAMA Topless in Miami convertible competition Article Dennis Malcolm Byron Photography Courtesy of Audi Boulder

arlier this summer, our sister magazine in Atlanta had the tough assignment of participating in Southern Automotive Media Association’s fourth annual Topless in Miami convertible competition held at Bay Biscayne’s Ritz-Carlton Hotel on June 12. With 15 of the world’s finest automobile companies participating in one of five different categories, journalists and automobile specialists were able to see, drive and ultimately judge what their favorite cars were. The judges were randomly selected to evaluate automobiles in two out of five categories—Performance/Roadster, Super Luxury/Exotic Convertibles, Luxury, Full-Size and Small Convertible. Automakers included Audi, Bentley, Chevrolet, BMW, Ford, Mazda, Fiat, Infiniti, Jaguar, Jeep, Lexus, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan, Porsche and Volkswagen.

While every model judged was a joy to drive, there could only be one chosen from each category through a numbers system. Once the ballots were tallied, all winners were announced during a gala later that Thursday evening. Congratulations all the winners and we look forward to our friends in Atlanta going topless in Miami again in the future. Winners from the 2014 SAMA Topless in Miami convertible competition Convertible of the Year: Audi RS5 Best Luxury Convertible: Audi RS5 Best Super Luxury/Exotic Convertible: Bentley Continental GT Best Full-Size Convertible: Ford Mustang GT Performance/ Roadster Convertible: Chevrolet Corvette Small Convertible: Mazda MX5 Miata
