Blue Sky Cafe and Juice Bar
Restaurants specializing in healthy eating can be divided into two categories: those that serve bacon and those that don’t. Happily, Blue Sky, which features a full range of smoothies, salads and gluten-free meals, can also throw down a mean two-egg, two-pancake, two-bacon breakfast special. Perfect fuel for a day at Colorado Mills. 14403 W. Colfax Ave., Lakewood, 303-216-2670.
A frog worth kissing
For a great host’s gift or to add panache to your holiday spreads, check out Frog Hollow Farm’s organic preserves. The navel orange marmalade — made only with oranges, water and organic sugar — bursts with rind. The peach conserve is 80 percent stewed fruit and only 20 percent sugar. The peach chutney’s kick comes from a flavorful, not hot, mix of vinegar and organically grown chiles, currants, garlic and ginger. Prices range from $6-$8. To order, call 1-888-779-4511, or visit frog .
