A Guide to Allergy-Friendly Restaurants in Boulder

A Guide to Allergy-Friendly Restaurants in Boulder

nutsLately, people are being diagnosed with more and more food allergies, from dairy and gluten to nuts and shellfish. Others have more rare allergies such as citrus foods. While not all restaurants cater to each allergy, there are a number of allergy-friendly restaurants in Boulder, serving up sensitive meals to folks from every walk of life.

Gluten/Wheat

Since a number of people are discovering an intolerance to wheat, gluten, or being diagnosed with Celiac’s disease, gluten-free restaurants in Boulder are fairly easy to find.

Not only is there a wealth of gluten-free beer options, many places offer an extensive menu free of gluten. This includes Boulder restaurants such as Native Foods CaféModmarketTangerineYellowbelly and Zeal.  Another great food to eat when you’re avoiding gluten is pho. The noodles are rice noodles and most ingredients are fresh produce or meat. Just be sure to skip the soy sauce or ask for a gluten-free alternative.

Dairy

I love cheese more than just about anything, but the fact of the matter is that some people suffer from a dairy allergy. I weep for them. However, there are still some stellar Boulder restaurants for people who suffer from dairy allergies.

The best way to avoid dairy in a restaurant situation is to eat vegan and lucky for you, there are a plethora of vegan restaurants in Boulder. If you can’t go without meat, eating paleo is a great way to avoid dairy. Fresh Thymes and The Corneroffer delicious dairy-free, meat-friendly options.

Nuts

Unfortunately, there’s not really a “nut-free” restaurant in Boulder, but many restaurants are very careful not to include nuts if you specify that you have an allergy. Any of the restaurants mentioned above are sensitive to dietary restrictions and will happily make sure that your meal is nut-free if that’s how you request it — just ask!

Shellfish

While this can be a pretty scary allergy to have, luckily, it’s fairly easy to avoid shellfish as long as you … don’t order shellfish. Also, if you have your doubts about a menu item, ask your server. There are some broth-based foods made with a seafood-based broth (especially in Italian and Mediterranean restaurants), so keep in mind that a lack of actual shellfish in the dish might not mean a dish is shellfish free.

Boulder restaurants are very conscientious of diners with allergies and do their best to make sure their customers have a delicious meal, no matter what their dietary restrictions. The above is a solid guide for locals and visitors alike so you can enjoy your Boulder experience without any unpleasant side effects. Well, at least side effects from your food, that is.

Bask in the Sun: Great Rooftop Bars in Boulder

Bask in the Sun: Great Rooftop Bars in Boulder

boulder rooftop

We’re smack dab in the middle of WinterSpring or SpringWinter or whatever you want to call that crazy unpredictable weather that engulfs Boulder during the Ides of March (which is tomorrow, in case you were wondering). This is the time when people, sick to death of being cooped up for several months, flood the parks, patios and any other open space outdoors any time there’s a sunny, warm day. You can actually hear the collective Ahhh of the city’s inhabitants when the temperatures hit 60 degrees.

My favorite way to soak in the Boulder Spring sunshine is on a rooftop. Preferably on said rooftop with a nice frosty drink in my hand or snacks in front of me. While most of the killer rooftop bars and restaurants in Boulder are in downtown Boulder, there are a few that step outside those boundaries. Read on to see if your favorites are included and maybe you can find a new rooftop bar in Boulder to catch some rays.

Rio Grande Restaurant

I can’t think of a better drink than a margarita to go with my sunshine. It’s sweet and refreshing, plus, with a limit of four margs per customer (they pack a punch), you’re not going to spend too much either. The Rio is located right downtown on Walnut and has been a fixture in Boulder for as long as I can remember.

Lazy Dog Sports Bar

Located on the corner of 14th and Pearl, this is the one place I’ve included that’s truly on the Pearl Street Mall. The Lazy Dog’s rooftop is impressive. It’s spacious with plenty of tables and some shaded spots for the fair-skinned bunch. The food here is acceptable, but I would suggest using this place as meeting point for friends to grab a pitcher of beer and soak up the sun before heading on to other venues as day turns into night. Or, just drink until the food is more sustenance than substance and catch a cab or walk back to your abode.

West End Tavern    

When I turned 21, this was my first choice for rooftop drinking and the West Endwill always hold a special place in my heart for that. Plus, with a menu that makes your mouth water, the West End rooftop is a great place for drinks and dinner (or lunch).

Southern Sun Brewery

Located at Table Mesa and Broadway, the Southern Sun is in a completely different area and has a more mellow vibe from the hustle and bustle of downtown. The area is more family oriented and so you’ll likely find an older crowd here. The rooftop here gets full quickly so be sure to stake a claim early. Remember, none of the Mountain Sun businesses take credit, so be sure to bring your cash.

Drakes Haus

I haven’t had a chance to visit this place yet, but every time I look at their menu, I start to drool. This place has Merlot Burgers.  I’m not entirely sure what that means, but if it’s meat and wine, I fail to see how you can go wrong. Plus, they have a beautiful rooftop patio with some spectacular unobstructed views of the mountains and it’s also another bar off the downtown strip.

I’m sure I’ve missed some other great rooftops in Boulder, so if you have a recommendation, be sure to mention it in the comments. Perhaps you have a favorite park or secret spot that can’t be beat; if you feel like sharing, you can give us those details as well. Happy sunning!

Boulder Fast Casual: Convenient Food That’s Anything but Junk

Boulder Fast Casual: Convenient Food That’s Anything but Junk

Fast Casual Food in BoulderIt’s Boulder — where do you eat (and fast) when you’re in a rush? You want to skip the fake food-in-a-box places but you’re willing to get out of the car and sit if it means healthy, delicious, AND fast. Well, it’s time for a Boulder fast casual joint.

With Hapa Sushi announcing that they have plans to open up a fast-casual sushi joint called Motomaki at the Twenty Ninth Street Mall this summer, Boulder adds another gourmet restaurant to its fast-casual repertoire.

For so long, people associated fast-casual food with convenient, but not quite healthy food options. Places like Chipotle, Noodles, and Buffalo Wild Wings sprout up all over the country and, well, we love them because they give us pretty good food for a decent price and we don’t have to wait for it. And waiting for food is the worst thing ever.

However, there’s a delightful new trend in Boulder that makes fast-casual a less gluttonous experience. Food that doesn’t dent your wallet, but also doesn’t cause your cholesterol count to sky rocket. Here are some healthy fast-casual food options you can find in Boulder.

Modmarket

This relatively new chain claims several locations around Colorado including one in Boulder. Customers can enjoy farm fresh food and unique menu items, plus they offer food to fit just about any restrictive diet, be it vegan, dairy-free or paleo. In addition, the décor at Modmarket certainly beats eating at one of the tables in Whole Foods.

Native Foods

Delicious vegan fast-casual. You can include that on a list of things that I never thought I’d write in my lifetime. Native Foods has places all over the West Coast and Chicago and their menu has earned them the praise of vegans around town. Their location at the Twenty Ninth Street Mall, along with Modmarket, makes this location a sort of fast-casual mecca for vegans looking for a quick fix.

Curry-N-Kebob

Let’s give this list a little bit of international flavor because there are a wide variety of fast-casual places that offer up sweet and savory ethnic food. Among them isCurry-N-Kebob, which offers Indian food at reasonable prices (and it’s pretty damn good too).

Cuba Cuba Sandwicheria

As their website says, “Eat Cuban!” I couldn’t agree more. Cubans know how to do a sandwich right! Now, this probably doesn’t fit into the “healthy, light” food category (roasted pork, ham and Swiss cheese on the Cuban sandwich alone), but screw it; it’s not everywhere in Colorado that you can find good Cuban food on the fly.

Zoe Ma Ma

You can’t have a fast-casual food list without some Chinese food in the mix andZoe Ma Ma is the perfect Boulder fit. Get your comfort foods such as dumplings (they’re vegan) or hot and sour soup, but with a Boulder twist: everything is made with high quality ingredients like cage-free eggs and all-natural meat. Plus, the organic noodles are made in-house.

Boulder has got some pretty unconventional options when it comes to fast-casual dining, so take that, Qdoba! What are some of your favorite places in Boulder where you can get a quick meal for a great price?

There’s Something About Spring in Boulder

There’s Something About Spring in Boulder

boulder flatirons your boulder

I have to tell you — there really is something about spring in Boulder.

It’s better than summer and fall. After this winter, it’s for damn sure better than winter. And I dig it.

I love how I can head out and stroll along Pearl Street and feel a gentle breeze sweep in. I love the way birds seem to serenade me as I’m on a bike ride along the north section of Broadway. I love how the mud is beginning to turn into something you can ride a moutain bike on and how I’ll have to bid my cross bike adieu until the next season.

I love the way the sky sweeps across the background of every view I take in, as if it’s saying, “No really — look all you want. There’s more where that came from.” I love the view from atop Mt. Sanitas, no matter the weather.

HOW TO MAKE YOUR KITCHEN ORGANISED AND TRENDY

HOW TO MAKE YOUR KITCHEN ORGANISED AND TRENDY

Written by 

 

From cooking to baking or sharing special time with family members for some light nibbles, the kitchen has been the heart for activities among family members or pals. Additionally, a kitchen could be a symbol of standing; the amount of money spent in planning and building could be directly related to family earnings. Naturally, selecting the best white goods has been a subject of great interest. 1 or 2 factors affect kitchen design.

The “final” touch in decorating a kitchen is various accessories of both a decorative and  functional nature. They can transform your kitchen from a showpiece into a beautiful living space.

One such decoration, which will always prove as a useful detail, is the kitchen wall clock. Clock whether larger, round or square, with a narrower or broader framework, classical needles or digital, is the most reliable friend in the timing of food preparation, and can still be very interesting décor, which is harmonised with the style. Clocks with weights and rustic ornaments (such as floral or like small rural house) will look good in rustic kitchens, while in modern spaces choose a clock with simple lines, with or without a metal frame. Particularly attractive will be variations in some of the bright colours and colourful clocks with interesting geometric motifs.

Until now, often neglected, special attention is paid to various containers in kitchens. In classic and rustic spaces they are plain or painted porcelain, while the minimalism is reserved for simpler glass or metal containers.

Good decor, but also an excellent extra space to store things, are well organised baskets made from natural materials, whether they are installed independently or as part of a stand-alone cabinet.

Ceramic bowls for fruits and vegetables, whether in the simplest form of straight lines to the kitschy decorated variants, show the unmistakable detail in creating a warm kitchen look, as well as sugar and salt containers. Today, there are more and more trendy and lightweight aluminium containers for oatmeal and glass containers for different types of pasta. Wall hangers for various kitchen appliances (draining spoon, ladle, large forks for baking, spatula, skimmer etc.) should also be stylistically consistent with the rest of the kitchen.

Another well-liked and trendy approach is by integrating a few appliances into a total unit concealed with cupboard doors and drawers. This not only gives a wow-factor to visitors who would discover technology behind these doors but also maximise the utilisation of kitchen space.

This type of kitchen design supplements the heat that is omitted by this straight forward design using genuine or synthetic wood panels that hide appliances. Putting other centerpiece like a desk with simple marble finish provides a stylish appeal and simultaneously an alternate location to have an excellent breakfast every day with members of the family.

Finally, do not forget to bring a breath of freshness and naturalness, for which you can use vases for flowers and a variety of indoor potted plants. An excellent fit in every kitchen will be small decorative bowls with herbs, which can be put together in one large basket – this solution is particularly attractive in rustic kitchens, in which an important decor are certain types of canned foods, such as jars of jam or pickles decorated with colourful plaid fabric on the lids.

It is extremely important to put curtains in the dining room. For an ethereal, calming appearance we curtains made from a solid colour, thin, translucent fabric is suggested, while where the emphasis is on luxury, especially in rooms decorated in classic styles, often find curtains made from romantic lace and even velvet drapes with a decorative gold weave. In modern dining rooms wrinkled or flat roll-on screens and roller blinds, either monochrome or with some larger or smaller prints can be found.

 

Tablecloths and decorative pillows on the chairs also make for different decor, which are also important to harmonise with the basic colours and style of decoration. Stylistic coherence is also important when choosing jardinieres, vases and decorative fruit bowls, which are often placed in the centre of the table like a crown, unless it comes to an eclectic dining area. You can never go wrong if you choose beautiful Eames dining chairs.

Candlesticks, whether they are simple, high glasses or richly decorated metals, are always a welcome guest in every dining room, because they provide irreplaceable ambient lighting when having an evening meal, adding mystique of space, dynamics and warmth. On the walls of the dining room, especially those decorated in a rustic style, you can put decorative ceramic plates or wall murals (you can find affordable wall decals at www.pickawall.com.au), and while in modern spaces flat shelves for books, vases with flowers or some larger mirror will look good.

MY HOUSE IS LISTED BUT I HAVE TO MOVE. SHOULD I LEAVE A VACANT HOUSE?

MY HOUSE IS LISTED BUT I HAVE TO MOVE. SHOULD I LEAVE A VACANT HOUSE?

Written by 

Answer –  Not if you can avoid it. It’s just a lot harder to sell an empty house (here’s an article that tells you why). I know that it’s a real hassle, in addition to an extra expense to have two places, but if you can leave the house that we’re trying to sell here furnished it makes it easier to sell. It sounds cruel, but you are better off to rent an apartment in your new location and live by yourself; while your family stays behind until the place sells.

If you’ve already bought a new place in the new town, move all of that clutter junk out of the storage place into your new house – you’ll feel right at home and the clutter will still be out of the house that we’re trying to sell. Move any excess furniture to the new home, but leave the old place furnished if at all possible. You may click here if you need to rent a dumpster when moving out.

Buyers have difficulty “seeing” how the house would look with furniture. Even if they don’t like your stuff at least it helps them envision how the space is used. If you absolutely can’t avoid moving your stuff out, so be it. Try to leave at least a table and a few chairs so that your agent has someplace to sit with a buyer to discuss things and somewhere to sit if he/she holds and open house, of course you can also need to learn about maintenance for a house like the signs that your water heater is going out and how to keep everything in good condition. If you do vacate the house, use that opportunity of it being empty to get the carpets and floors cleaned and maybe getting some painting done as suggested by the top companies like residential painting for your painting needs and many more. An empty house really shows all the wear and tear spots and with nothing else to attract the eye, any dirt or scratches or picture nail holes or other defects stand out.

An empty house makes an inviting target for vandals and thieves. Copper thieves in particular like to find vacant houses that they can strip. Even if your house is in what you would consider to be a “busy neighborhood”, thieves are bold enough to go in, even in broad daylight. No one ever said that they were smart, just brazen. Nothing says “rob me” quite like a vacant home with a real estate sign out front. Even if they don’t succeed in breaking in, copper thieves have been known to just hack off air conditioner condenser units and haul them away for the copper tubing that’s in most of them.

Oh, and here’s one more thing to make your day, if you are in a foreclosure or short sale situation. The Homeowners Association (HOA) may place a lien on the property for unpaid HOA fees, if you have decided to stop paying that, too. That’s just one more thing to have to worry about. Even if you’re not involved in a distressed sale, the HOA can also get involved if you have not contracted for lawn care when you moved out. If the HOA determines that your lawn is in violation of the HOA By-Laws, they may hire someone to cut your lawn and charge you for that, too. If you don’t pay that bill; oh well, there’s another lien on the house.

HOW TO DECORATE YOUR HOME OFFICE AND INCREASE PRODUCTIVITY

HOW TO DECORATE YOUR HOME OFFICE AND INCREASE PRODUCTIVITY

Written by 

The modern way of doing business allows more and more people to work from the comfort of their homes. The lack of space for an office in your home opens the door to many ideas of decorating and rearranging the desired corner that will serve for all your professional obligations.

All you need is a small corner in your home. Add a work table, and a gondola shelving system. If you have the space and materials needed, you can even turn a whole room of your home into a quiet, secluded office.

In a really simple way, with only a few steps to follow, you can create a place for yourself where you can get some isolation from other tenants or family members, and do your work in peace and quiet.

Seeing as how you will be spending a lot of time in this room or corner it is important to make it as cozy and comfortable as you can and most importantly, increase your work productivity. With only a few details, you can completely refresh and reorganize your work space so that it suits your needs.

So, for all of you who wish to work from home but don’t have their own office, here are some helpful suggestions:

Wood makes a comeback

Full dark wood was once unavoidable in all offices, not just the ones in homes. Later, it was shadowed by minimalistic style with metal details and elements. These days, wood is making a comeback, but not in its natural color. No, the latest trend in home offices is white wood.

White, combined with pastel colors such as mint green, gentle pink, and lavender, creates a full visual effect, while softcolors affect your mood and productivity in a positive way.

Small changes matter

Hang a picture on your wall or a retro poster with a motivational message. Place a vase with nice gentle flowers and a scented candle in the corner of your desk. The pleasant smells will reboot your energy during a hard working day.

Don’t be afraid to make small changes such as adding upholstery, maybe covering your seat with wool, or adding anew rug. You will see the difference immediately.

Memo Board

The key to a successful business, besides hard work, is good organization. In order to be able to do everything on time, replace sticky notes on the wall and computer with a memo board that you can make yourself.

You can use an old canvas, or Styrofoam pasted with tapestry, newspaper cutouts or decorative paper. If you really want to impress your guests, you can even put the board in a nice frame.

Hang it on the wall, get some pins, pin down your to do list, an inspirational message, maybe a photo or two, and you’re done. You can also hang a few family photos to bring a bit of family atmosphere. Photos made with amusing photo booth are also good choice, to make you laught during hard work.

For all those who are not in the mood for a do it yourself decoration pro

3 STAGING TIPS TO SELL A HOME FAST

It is possible to sell your home fast even in today’s competitive real estate market. While pricing and curb appeal often are enough to get potential buyers to your home, it’s often the “wow” factor they experience on the inside that seals the deal. Cleaning and de-cluttering are the first two steps in presenting a home at its best and you will find this fact 100% true in all cases. The next step is using a few staging techniques to make a solid, favorable impression on potential buyers.

Before showing your home to potential buyers, consider three easy staging tips.

Create a welcoming porch or entrance way.

Even homes with just a stoop or a small porch can make a welcoming impression to potential buyers, so if you are planning to build one, contact professional porch builders. Make sure the porch, steps and entranceway is swept and power-washed—don’t leave any cobwebs or bird droppings. Clean any outdoor lighting so it shines brightly when on and be sure to place a clean doormat at the front door. If your front door has windows, make sure those are clean as well. Add small, cheerful touches such as a flowering plants flanking the doorway. If there is room for furniture on the porch, make sure it is clean with attractive cushions. If you also happen to have an old oil tank in your backyard, then make sure to remove it with the help of an oil tank removal service. You may also consider adding a well installation in your garden with the help of professional well drilling services.

Set the dining table.

While it’s important to clear as many items as possible off the kitchen counters, it’s equally important to present the dining table as if it’s about time to sit down for a delicious meal. If you don’t want to set the table with a full dinner setting, simple set it with linen placemats, cloth napkins (either folded or in decorative rings) and cutlery. Include a centerpiece of silk or fresh flowers. Don’t leave any papers, books or other debris on the table.

De-personalize the bathroom.

Try to see each room of your home through the eyes of a potential buyer. Bathrooms are scrutinized by visitors during showings and open houses, making this room one of the most important to super-clean, de-clutter and de-personalize. Getting the grout sparkling white is a good start, but it’s equally important to remove all those personal products from the shower and countertops. Don’t just toss them in a cabinet. Purchase inexpensive, stackable baskets to hold your shampoo, creams and other personal care products and then store the baskets neatly in a cabinet or closet.

DO YOU NEED TO HAVE FLOOD INSURANCE?

Unfortunately, most Americans do not already have flood insurance included in their traditional homeowners’ policies. Even if your home is not located in a hazardous flood zone, certain acts of nature can occur at a moment’s notice which can lead to structural damage, property damage of furniture and other household items, and even the potentially deadly onset of mold and mildew growth.

People who live in coastal communities are well aware of the possibility of tidal surges they can easily occur during hurricane season, and residents whose homes are located near rivers and lakes might also have already considered purchasing flood insurance. But did you know that even the normal city dweller who does not live anywhere near a flood zone can easily incur water damage from something as simple as a backed up city storm drain? If you are not already covered in your current homeowners’ insurance policy, the financial effects could be devastating.

TYPICAL FLOOD INSURANCE COVERAGE

Homeowner’s insurance for flood and water damage can be easily acquired for very little cost, and the benefits and peace of mind provided by this extra coverage can often be priceless. A typical flood insurance policy will cover the various types of damage that can be caused by naturally overflowing waterways or the rapid accumulation of other types of surface water. Even damage due to mud is covered in many policies. Check this out to learn more about it.

  • Do you need to have Flood InsuranceStructural property damage
  • Damage of electrical and plumbing systems
  • Damage to heating and air-conditioning systems
  • Cabinetry, kitchen appliances, and wood flooring damage
  • Carpet repair and damage
  • Unavoidable mold or mildew growth that results from excessive water
  • Removal of debris and trash
  • And much, much more.

LOWER RISK PROPERTIES

Even if your home happens to be located inside or near a flood zone, do not assume that your insurance provider will automatically include flood insurance into your standard homeowners’ policy. It is not usually required, in most states. However, this insurance can be easily purchased for a very modest fee.

Even if your home is located in an area that is deemed to be “lower risk”, you should still consider purchasing this extra coverage. Nearly 25% of all insurance claims due to flood are actually placed by homeowners in these low to moderate risk properties.

OTHER CONSIDERATIONS

Some of the standard homeowners insurance policies do include a minimal amount of flood insurance, whether you happen to live in a flood zone or not. So whether you live in Warner Robins GA or San Diego CA, just be sure to ask your insurance agent before signing the policy and paying your monthly premiums. You need to know if they can provide coverage if you are going to need plumbers or  any other type of contractors to come and inspect your home for damages. In many cases, a “single peril” coverage clause may be secretly hidden inside your existing policy. This would cover water damage due to natural flooding, such as melting snow, dam or levee failures, storm surges, heavy rains, and perhaps blocked storm drains as well. However, in most cases the damage has to meet a certain threshold of intensity in order for the flood insurance policy to kick in. For example, the policy may require that two or more properties located within the same area must have been equally affected by the excessive waters. Or perhaps several acres of land must be affected in order for the policy to become active. For those consumers who take the time to do upfront research before the flood waters hit, the savings could be considerable.
