A Donut With The Cutest Baby Ever! - Amy's Donuts , Colorado Springs Colorado



Wherever we go, I am always on the lookout for great donuts.  On our recent trip to see our new great grandson, who by the way is the cutest baby on earth, we were told about Amy's donuts. My step-daughter and fellow snacker was the one doing the telling, so I knew I had to listen! It took another day,but we loaded up the vehicles and off we went.
 Amy's donuts has locations in Columbus.O. Tucson,Az, and a new one coming soon in Spokane Valley,Washington and of course the one we visited in Colorado Springs.The Colorado Springs locationis open 7 days a week.
  As we entered the store, we were greeted by a showcase filled with almost every donut you could imagine.  The hardest part was trying to limit myself to one donut. They had Andes Mint donuts, Cinnamon Toast Crunch donuts,maple bacon fudge, traditional donuts,frosted donuts of all flavors, filled and seasonal donuts, and many more.
  I finally settled on an Orange Creamsickle donut that tasted like it was just made.  This was at evening time too. Everybody with us had a different donut and for the most part, were very happy. Definately would go back, to try a different donut and visit the cutest baby ever!  You can find locations and hours for Amy's donuts on their website.  I can see this donut shop going nation wide.

Pork Green Chile Breakfast - The Omlette Parlor Colorado Springs,Colorado

On our recent trip to Colorado Springs, my step daughter suggested a breakfast place for us to try. It was the Omelette Parlor in Colorado Springs.  It was definitely a winner. The Omelette Parlor is a homey style restaurant that puts out sandwiches,skillets, pancakes and of course omelettes. We ended up there three times for breakfast because we liked it so much.  It was voted Best of the Springs for twenty years.
  We fell in love with the pork green chile that was used as a condiment on some of their dishes. If you want hearty portions, good service, and tasty food, this is the place to go
in Colorado Springs! You can look at the menu at : http://www.menusearch.net/menus/6899general.pdf, or go to the web site at :http://omeletteparlorcs.com/

Amazing Biscuits- Denver Biscuit Company, Denver Colorado



  Start off with a big, flaky, buttery, biscuit as a base to a sandwich and it is hard to go wrong!  That was my favorite thing at the Denver biscuit company.  I'm not usually thrilled by biscuits.  I always get the muffin at McDonald's.  These were different. They were fluffy and delicious.  I guess if you are going to have biscuit in your name, you better know what you are doing.
  The Denver Biscuit Company  started out in 2009. Started as an idea for a food truck and when that was being built, the owners decided to start cooking in the bar they owned.  It wasn't long before lines formed on the weekend, and hour wait times were common.  They knew they had something. Today they have multiple locations and have been named Denver's Best Breakfast! We visited the S Brodway location.
  We decided to go with sandwiches, but biscuit bowls are also offered.  Rebbel ordered the DBC  Club. It was one of those great biscuits with bacon,buttermilk fried chicken, iceberg lettuce, tomato,and cheddar cheese. She actually added a fried egg to this.
  I went with the Franklin.  It was the biscuit with chicken,bacon,cheddar cheese  and sausage gravy.  Not to be outdone by Rebbel I added a fried egg too.  After a little wait, the sandwiches came out and they were huge.
   I ate mine with knife and fork because of the gravy.  Rebbel tried to eat hers as a sandwich, but found it impossible to fit in her mouth.  She ended up taking off the lettuce and tomato.  I loved my sandwich and would definitely go back lots.  Rebbel wasn't as impressed. but gave it passing marks.
   I f you would like to try them for yourself, yo can find them on the web at:
