Bread Fell Flat Again? Call King Arthur for Baking Tips & Strategies from Experts

Baking can be fun for the whole family, but it’s also a science in getting the recipe just right. It can often take several batches of cookies, breads or pies before an amateur baker can perfect the process. In any case, it’s always frustrating to pull out a batch of bad cookies from the oven. There’s something not right in the texture or the way they look, but you can’t figure out where you went wrong in the process. [Read more…] about Bread Fell Flat Again?

Indoor Play Areas for Kids Around Denver

When the kiddos are bored or the weather is being uncooperative (too hot or too cold) you may be looking for a place for them to play. This list of indoor play areas around Denver should come in handy.

I’ve included all sorts of activities, some free and some with an admission fee. For some of the pricier attractions, I noted if there’s a Groupon available (and you should always check Groupon yourself for those not marked, as new Groupons pop up from time to time). Also keep in mind memberships are a great way to save big.

This list is by no means comprehensive as there are a gazillion spots across the metro area. Know of something that should be in the list? Just email laura@milehighonthecheap.com. [Read more…] about Indoor Play Areas for Kids Around Denver
