On top of the world!! Well at least at 14,259 Feet!!

Okay so as much fun as we had down south it was great to head up into the mountains for 5 days.. Grandma was willing to come stay with the kids and deal with the adjusters and what not for the house.. thank goodness.. here are some high lights from our trip to Aspen for the Food and Wine festival!! This year we attended a ton of great cooking demonstrations and met a few new friends!!

Jacques Pepin

We won an auction for Cook for the Cure, a new kitchen aid mixer signed by Jacques and Claudine Pepin, kitchen aid will then put a seal over the signature so I can use it!!!

Chef Tom Colicchio from Top Chef

Ming Tsai of East meets west and Simply Ming

Getting served a plate of food by Rocco DiSpirito.. ah ya..

Iron Chef Michael Simon

Roy Yamaguchi, we wanted a hook up at our local Roy's ..

The weather was perfect and with all the yummy food to taste we enjoyed hiking by the river.. its all about balance!! We have to give a huge shout out to my mom for keeping the kids alive!!!
