Slower Sunday: Walk by water

Autumn Apple Bread Pudding
Delicious. Luxurious. A party in your mouth. The perfect breakfast for a Slower Saturday or Sunday. Smells as great as it tastes. Turns you whole home into an aromatherapy clinic while it's in the oven. $2.75 serves 8 - 12.
The Walk That Ate Denver
A wonderful and weird Walk. Wonderful because it's a great walking and eating city. Weird because it's the Mile High City, so you may feel like you're taking a high elevation hike when you're strolling the sidewalks with direct views of the Rocky Mountains.
Broccoli Gratin
75 cents per serving of this luscious, impressive vegetable course. You'll be amazed you made it yourself. Easily. If you love broccoli, you'll love it even more. If you're a broccoli denier, this'll convert you to the love side.
Fall Greens Milanese
They're free! They deliver a megadose of Vitamins A, C and K and a whole range of phytonutrients. The season's tastiest nutritional supplement. Zero Glycemic Load. Give these a try. I really think you'll enjoy them. And think of them as a real discovery.
The Burger Solution. What’s the problem?
So many reasons to try these 6-ounce, high-protein, big-flavor vegetarian cheeseburgers that look, feel and taste great. $1 for a big burger on a rich, buttery brioche bun.
Your Monday #38: Crunch Time

Slower Sunday: Wired
They had tiny electrodes sewn into a baseball cap attached to each of the subjects' heads. The caps wirelessly transmitted brain wave data to computers in their backpacks. Wild idea, huh?
Ginger Ale Squash
An incredibly tasty variation of a traditional Fall dish. Three minutes to make a batch of ginger-lemon-maple syrup soda base and brush it on the squash halves before roasting. Turns a mellow, mild dish into one that lights up your mouth.
