Raise your hand if you love houseplants! Last week I dropped by this adorable Latin American-inspired indoor plant shop in Denver. Jessica, the owner, sets customers up for success by matching them to houseplants they can actually keep alive. “Many people fail at houseplants because they are not set up for success. I created a unique system of matching people to plants so they aren’t getting in over their head.” @green_lady_gardens

¡Hola! Our little Valentina turned eight months last Monday and has grown one big tooth, began mimicking us (I swear she says mamá), and her luscious locks are long enough to put into pigtails. As you can see, she’s eager to get started on our spring vegetable garden.

Last week I asked what causes the most stress when hosting a get-together at home and responses included: FONEF (fear of not enough food), not knowing what to make, houses not being big or clean enough, not being ready on time, fear that nobody will show, ensuring that guests are having a good time, children running amok, forgetting minor details, siblings, spouses, and everything in between. I get it, I really do. But to be honest, I am always just grateful when someone opens their home to me regardless of what it looks like or what they feed me! If hosting really causes that much stress, organize a potluck so that you are not the sole person responsible for all of the food. You can even do it at a park! Just try to make human connections, offline when possible.

My friend Ana just reminded me of how nervous I used to get before teaching a cooking class. I’d feel stressed out the two weeks leading up to a class, contemplate canceling it, and drink two shots of mezcal before anyone arrived just to calm my nerves. Now I plan the menu based on what looks good at the grocery store the night before, go to yoga the morning of, and just enjoy the entire process of preparing the ingredients and setting the table prior to a class. I don’t need my two shots anymore, either.

Last night I hosted a very special cooking class for business and cultural leaders in the Denver community. We had so much fun cooking together, sharing stories, and divulging our latest obsessions over dinner. What are you currently obsessed with? Inquiring minds, want to know! #mesaquemasaplauda

I don’t typically order Mexican food when dining out, but this take on huevos rancheros at The Cookery was oh-so-delicioso. @devilsfooddenver Stay tuned because this is definitely inspiring a new recipe.
