When and why have you start blogging?
I began my blog Our Kitchen within the Rockies in Feb 2010. The primary reason ended up being to have a recipe assortment of our family’s favorite dishes and to really make it simpler to talk about these recipes with my buddies and family.
How does one describe your site inside a Tweet (140 figures or fewer)?
Prepare on your own beside me at Our Kitchen within the Rockies featuring German, French and American cuisine using available local, preferably organic, and try to GMO free ingredients.
What’s your preferred healthy snack?
My personal favorite healthy snack is nuts. I Really Like hazelnuts.
What’s your preferred guilty food pleasure?
One? I'm sorry, however i have a lot of coconut ice-cream, black licorice, raspberry trifle, chocolate mousse torte, and my in history favorite, Austrian Linzertorte.
So why do you like cooking?
For me personally and my loved ones the kitchen at home is the middle of activities. Cooking and discussing food leads us together. It starts conversations and keeps us close so we love to talk about this with this buddies. Personally i think very strongly the kitchen where a tasty meal is ready and eaten together may be the center and also the heart of the happy family. I've found that necessary for spread to the kids.
What should readers what you think?
My loved ones and that i moved from Germany to Colorado in 1998. I increased in beautiful Palatinate, a wine growing area, with vineyards near to the river Rhine. There' finished a pharmaceutical education and labored inside a pharmacy so that as a pharmaceutical salesman. Becoming an adult near to the French boarder is reflected within the dishes which i prepare. It's very near to me to understand where my food originates from. Beef from the local rancher, eggs in the chickens a nearby friend keeps, organic and native ingredients whenever you can, which GMO food doesn't have space within my kitchen.
What dish made you adore cooking?
Really, and that i know this sounds strange, it had been an escargot soup I ready for buddies a lengthy time ago. I recall it had plenty of garlic clove inside it. The cook book that contained the recipe with this soup got lost inside a move, however i am still considering it.
What’s a dish you are making that family and buddies always request?
I make an authentic French Quiche Lorraine that will get requested constantly as well as one of my favorite friend’s (she's vegetarian) can’t resist.

I'm anxiously searching just for a vanilla cupcake recipe for top altitude (5,000 foot). Im surprised how hard it is to locate one. I'm wondering should you have had one?
Thanks!
Susan Hammond
Susan, simply take any recipe and adapt it for your altitude following what's labored for me personally previously:
* decrease sugar, 1-3 tablespoons per cup of sugar
* decrease baking powder or sodium bicarbonate by 15% to 25 percent.
* increase liquid add another egg or 3-4 tablespoons water per cup of flour
* beat egg-whites simply to a really soft peak consistency
* lift up your oven temperature 20 to 25 levels
* decrease baking time
Happy Baking!
