Colorado in the summer
Summer vacations offer such inspiration for my work. There is something very transcendent about the mountains and the fresh air that leads me to be in a constant state of production. I joke, but I don't really head up here for relaxation!
This year, we were joined by my a few of my children and my son-in-law. We did puzzles, discussed politics (Fourth of July, you know), hiked in the Rocky Mountains, and of course, cooked! I made my favorite trout recipe with almond crust and it was delicious! I've included the recipe down below.
