National Western Stock Show & Rodeo – Goodbye Mason Lowe

Moving to Denver has been great, it’s one of the best decisions we made in life. There are so many fun places to go and things to see in the area. My husband is great and at making sure I get a taste of Denver life on a regular basis so I was very excited when he bought tickets to the National Western Stock Show. Being from England, I had only seen Rodeos on TV but growing up around horses,…

Barolo Grill in Cherry Creek Denver

It’s no wonder that Barolo Grill has won an award or two. This year (2018) they won the Wine Spectator Grand Award. This is a stunning restaurant located in the Cherry Creek area of Denver.

As you all know by now, Kevin and I love trying new restaurants but on special occasions we like to treat ourselves to something special. On my birthday this year, Kevin organized a very special evening that…

Casa Vallarta, A Great Mexican Restaurant in Aurora

As Kevin and I drive around the Smoky Hill Road area we notice loads and loads of Mexican restaurants but rarely do we go to one without a recommendation. I’m sure you’re the same so we are reviewing this restaurant so you can add it to your list of options when the craving for Mexican food hits.

Located very close to us just north of Quincy on Parker Road, this restaurant won’t disappoint. After…

My Grandmother’s Cornbread Stuffing

This was originally started out as my grandmother’s cornbread stuffing recipe, but over the years I have changed a few things and added a few things, but I think she would approve. At this time, I can tell you with 100% certainty, that this is the one of the best cornbread stuffing, or dressing, you will likely find.

I must first warn you that I am not big on precise measurements, but more of a…

3 Margaritas, A Solid Mexican Restaurant

I don’t know about you but I could eat Mexican food every day! So it’s good job that there are plenty of Mexican restaurants to choose from along the Smoky Hill Corridor.  A new one we checked out last week as 3 Margaritas on the corner of Smoky Hill and Arapahoe, south east Aurora. 

We are all about supporting local restaurants and although there are many locations throughout Colorado, each one…

Best Pizza in Aurora, Wood Paddle Pizza and Tap

What a little gem this is! When Kevin and I stopped by for an impromptu dinner and beer, we had no idea it was going to be this good!  Wood Paddle Pizza and Tap lives up to all the great reviews it has on facebook, Google and Yelp.

A couple of weeks ago, Kevin and I were out running errands all afternoon and, as usual, by about 4.30pm we were starving.  We remembered seeing a sign for this place…

Platea, A Latin Night Out

Our evening out was completely unplanned and had come at the end of a very busy week, so Kevin and I were more than ready for a couple of good drinks and a nice meal.  We started out at the sun drenched patio at The Rock and Googled our restaurant options as we enjoyed the late summer evening.  We like to stick close to home and certainly along the Smoky Hill Road corridor.  Obviously this area…

New Townhomes on Belleview Avenue

It’s always exciting when you see a piece of property being excavated. The excitement builds until finally someone puts up a sign! We had all kinds of theories about what was going in on E Belleview Avenue next to Goodwill. Now we know, they are building new Townhomes!

Built by a company called Century Communities that was founded in 2002 and builds single family homes, townhomes, condos and…

Breakfast at Jus Grill in Aurora

There’s nothing my husband, Kevin, and I love more than going out to Breakfast or Sunday Brunch. We often meet up on a Sunday morning with family to catch up for a couple of hours over a delicious and relaxing meal. There are so many places to choose from so we decided to ask for recommendations on our Smoky Hill Living Facebook Community Page. The first person to respond to our request suggested…

Bookmakers Burgers Bourbon and Brews

Bookmakers is right on the mark when it comes to a great Burger. There’s something special about a locally owned restaurant that excels and this great bar and restaurant on Smoky Hill Road has become one of our instant favorites.

We love trying new places in our area and when we decided we needed a burger and a good stiff drink, we opened up Google, as you do, and searched for restaurants on…

Topgolf in Denver for Topfun

You can’t miss the huge structure as you drive down Arapahoe Road approaching the Havana intersection. It’s a huge multi building with no walls on the back and a huge net surrounding the field. The first few times I drove past I couldn’t figure out what it was but it doesn’t take long before you find someone in Denver talking about it. 

So what is Topgolf?

It’s best described as a golfing…

The first time we went, my husband and I decided to check it out and stop in for a quick drink. Although we got there around 4.30 it was extremely busy.  I did manage to snag a tall table in the bar while he parked the…
