The adventure continues and this time at Edwards House in Mountain Ave. We have three letters for this amazing establishment Wow!! What a treat!! We got recruited by Laura Pearson, owner of L Elizabeth Weddings and Events to make a Fun Lunch Experience for 35 guests.
Two sandwiches, specialty waters and lots of great loving service was in the simplest way, what we had been asked for. This was our first time working with Laura, and as always there is some excitement and good anxiety when teaming for the first time with an event expert. We put some calls, check out our venue, created logistics, offer menus, and we where ready to get the show on the road.
It is amazing to admire someone else art. As we arrived we just focused our attention into getting our magic deliver, but in no time, suddenly out of the blue, the space, had just transformed from this nice looking room, into a fairy tale one year old birthday paradise for family and friends. Laura and her team had done an amazing job, and we where proud to be part of this new adventure. I could keep writing more and more, but as the old saying says “A picture says more than one thousand words”… and in this case a video is also there!! =D
Laura, we can’t thank you enough for this great opportunity!, we hope that life brings us together and we can continue sharing our art with you. Our greatest admiration to you and your team on decorating the venue.
Once again, here in the gorgeous Fort Collins, Juli y Juan says to you all, “Have a One-derful Year!!! =D Until Our Next Adventure!
We Hope You Enjoy Some Pics
Get Up And Get Out II - at Happy Heart Farm
How amazing it is to see an idea grow into a tangible reality. It all started six months ago when we gave ourselves a book from one of our favorite Chefs, Francis Mallmann. The poetry of his books, our love of outdoors, good food, healthy environments, community gatherings, music, friends and arts, are some of the ingredients we wanted to combine for our next adventure.
Get Up And Get Out; A Magic Moment.
Dear Get Up And Get Out Epicureans,
How amazing it is to see an idea grow into a tangible reality. It all started six months ago when we gave ourselves a book from one of our favorite Chefs, Francis Mallmann. The poetry of his books, our love of outdoors, good food, healthy environments, community gatherings, music, friends and arts, are some of the ingredients we wanted to combine for our next adventure. That night, like a broken spring bounced the idea of Get Up And Get Out. Not long ago, this amazing moment turned into a reality at Happy Heart Farms. I have to say that in order for magic to happen, one needs to THINK of something you really want, then to FEEL it, and finally to ACT upon it. We can all make our dreams come true, and that is exactly what happened on June 17th. We remember telling our idea not once or twice, but about many times to many different friends before it was taken as a reality, we needed to feel it, and once we did we hold to that emotion…but even then the concept was a little hard to express. It is something you feel in your heart, and you follow it by every small decision you make, just let your heart free, and he will guide you…
The Crew gets together…
We decided to get a bunch of artists together and let our hearts express, and play with our ideas, and just combine our individual way we understand love. This incredible team came together… We recruit and partner with Taylor Walker Strope who just launched her amazing Event Planner Company “Mountainside Events” which I am sure you have already heard about it. Together we grab our idea and kept looking for more artists. Chris A. McShay & Tom, jumped into the train to take care of the musical ambiance, which by the way, we where amazed by their incredible talents, and magnificent personalities. We needed some charismatic people that could help be the flow of the night, and for this we thought of two beautiful girls we have had the pleasure to play along their side, so we recruit Makenzie Matz, and Estée Laturnus. What amazing and fabulous souls, always smiling, understanding the moments, and giving the occasional so-needed-hugs to keep things flowing. I am the son of a photographer and love them, but I knew that I was not going to be able to take any so we decided to invite a photographer, and who better than someone we had just met. Her name is Marialena Fronczak owner of The Enchanted Journey!! What incredible pictures!! One amazing surprise was my college best friends and a life chosen brother John E. Hunt, that decided to surprise us by flying from New York to be part of this magical moment. He is a Travel Writer and Filmmaker who launched his company Wandrlustr and is working for the MLB at this time. He also helped us put together our first crazy adventure “Share The Love Tour” and is a Sous Chef as well, so foodie by nature. We wanted to pair our food with wine, and we where looking for someone local, which we strongly believe in supporting locals… Taylor found Ten Bears Winery, who made this part happen, they have their incredible location in Laporte. We needed a place to make this magical moment happen and Happy Heart Farm came across as life was just sending us into that direction, as when we where asking about it, a few great friends point us there. Thank you Dennis and Bailey Stenson, who are the founders of this amazing local farm, and Chloe and the entire Farm Crew for giving so much love to your plants.
Finding epicureans to enjoy…
Our next step was to gather epicureans who wanted to explore this moment we wanted to create… and we did. We had 36 amazing souls who wondered into the unknown. To all of you, we hope this moment was everything you hope and expect for, and we say, thank you for believing in us. We hope we can see you, and many who could not come to this event in our next one.
“Someone told me some time back, that you need to follow your heart, and for Juli & I that is exactly what our life is all about. So as we keep growing roots in this amazing location of the world, life keep crossing our paths with incredible souls, and for this we are forever thankful.”

CHEF CHALLENGE FOR CHILDREN 2016!!
What a great Adventure!
There is nothing more fun and interesting than a new adventure. Specially one that the main purpose is to make other people’s life better. For those reasons you can always count with Us. This adventure started with a call from Jennifer Lauren from The Family Center/La Familia, which is an organization that is dedicated to help parents who are in need of a daycare and can’t figure in their financial plans a place. We had no idea what where where getting ourself into, but as much as we are not about competing, the other part that we are really interested… helping. So we where sign up for the Chef Challenge for Children.
Chef & Venues
So the idea was that a few Chefs in Fort Collins where going to be paired with restaurants, bars and coffee places. Then each chef had to come up with a dish or two that paired with their venue… and to spark things up, the biggest sponsor was Noosa Yoghurt, and why not, we had to include it in our dish. So we got paired with The Bean Cycle Roasters, and we had to come out with something… which was our fun part.
We have never had the opportunity to paired our food with coffee before, so as great nerds that we are, we decided to go over the entire process of teaching our brains about coffee. We decided to go check the place, meet the staff and we even got a coffee pairing day… for those who drink lots of coffee and have never done this, we highly recommend it!! You learn so much, and you actually educate your palate. Thank you Leslie & Chaz for that wonderful experience!!
Then we went home and put our creativity into work!! We came out with two dishes;
1.- Brazilian Coffee Tiramisu, with lemon Noosa Yoghurt and chocolate shavings
2.- Caramelized pair Goat Cheese Spread, bacon bites, fresh Arugula & balsamic glazed on a crostini.
We had to pair this with an Cold Brew Arnold Palmer Coffee infused with ginger and apple juice.
The Day…
We woke up and it was time to pack our things and head over The Bean Cycle Roasters. They where supper kind to let us park in the back and as we walked into the building, there was already a sense of adventure! the kind that we love to have. So here we are, together with an amazing team; Derrick, Octavius, Juli Y Juan. the four of us, and with some more help obviously from The Bean Cycle Roasters.
The event went so smooth and fun and well I could keep telling you but what better than checking the pictures and the fun video!!
The Family Center/ La Familia Thank you so much for all the support and for this amazing opportunity!! This is Juli y Juan saying hasta pronto!!!
Enjoy Our Video Adventure!

Drake’s Farmers Market Goat Tasting
This adventure has been a rather interesting one… it all started with a full goat from Homestead Ranch, to butcher at home. This was definitely something new for us. Juli has not done this kind of butchering since Culinary School, and me, I had never even thought on having to do it, unless it was for survival. But you know life presents with this interesting surprises. Full on board with a small Youtube investigation on when and how to start, the adventure had already begun… it took us about 3 to 4 hours to do the work, but we where ready. I have to say that it was not easy for me to do this, and I do not know if this is something I would like to get myself into again. But never the less an experience for sure.
“Drake’s Farmers Market ‘Goat For All’ Day!!”

I have to say that it was not easy for me to do this, and I do not know if this is something I would like to get myself into again. But never the less an experience for sure.
After having all the meat, we continue to what we love, cooking it. So that afternoon we just put some good old music, and let life flow as we started painting our culinary art. A little glass of wine, and the evening just evaporated in seconds, like a good old song that traps you into its melody web and suddenly you wake up as the song is done. We had spent all day on our feet, but doing something we love, which makes a world of difference. With our feet throbbing we went to bed as the next day we had a show to put on.
It’s early and the alarm buzzes… its time to hit the shower with your eyes still closed and bumping into the walls… and hope to stay awake. We brew some coffee in a new French Press my mom gave to us the week before, when she came to visit. We pack everything in the car and it was time to “Hit The Road Jack” as the old song says…
Nan Zimmerman, owner of Drake’s Farmers Market had invited us, as she wanted to promote some of her vendors products, and that is why we where here this day. We arrived and set up our place, and we let life be, we became the brush of our art, we just let it flow like the rivers of May. That is how we love to express our love in this Culinary Life Adventures. About 200 people later we where done. Drake’s Farmers Market shut down as we put together our circus. I have to say that it was a bless to have had some friends over, it is always amazing to see the faces of your friends as they approach with a smile, and there is just so much energy at the stage that, you can not help yourself jump into a hug. Thank you guys for stopping by, it means the world to Us. At the end, we fold our last table, give a huge thanks to Nan, and her smile said it all! I have never seen her so happy… and just as that moment happens, you know you did something good here, and that is why we love to do what we do.
This is Juli y Juan saying Thank you for this cool time and adventure!! We hope you enjoy our fun little video and even better we hope to see you in our next location, wherever that is!! So be true to yourself and never forget that “Food is Medicine”.
Enjoy Our Fun Video Adventure!

A Mother Like No Other!! Mothers Day Event

The Love for a Mother is Like No Other!!
“Happy Mothers Day!!”
In my experience there is something amazing about families that hold together; a great mother. This day we had the opportunity to experience once again, the love of a family for their mother, and it makes me want to throw everything and go take a plane and hug my own mom. The Lanoha family has that special ingredient that makes it so special, that special ingredient that balances so many souls together and actually share a moment and create amazing experiences. I am talking about a family that when they get together they round about 30, and I am sure that this is not counting the ones that cant make it for that day. For Juli & I, coming from big families we understand the joy and great atmosphere that this means. Marcia, you deserve every minute of everyone that was present in this great mothers day. You deserve it, for being someone to admire, to look up to, to be there with. Obviously Dave you keep her happy and for that we wont leave you out!! hahah You two are admirable.
I could keep writing but I am already missing my mom, to much and my eyes are all watery and I need to stop, and just be thankful for this great opportunity, for inviting us to cook and be part of this great memories!! We love you and hope that together we can continue to make more memorable stories in life.
This is Juli y Juan practically crying of joy as we say… We miss you Mamá!!! Until the next event, we hope you all enjoy this fabulous life with the people you love.
Have Fun With the Video!!

“Sorry Santa, Naughty Just feels so Nice!!”
That was one of the hanging ornaments of this amazing Private Chef Christmas Party…. now, add a little or lot of alcohol to this Amazing group of friends and you have??? Well A ridicules fun party that gave much to talk!!!
It was our first December in Colorado and we have just arrived a few months back, and here we are in this crazy moth we call “December Party Rush”, we have been going from home to home doing Private Chef christmas events here and there, but we where looking for that ultimate event that will just blast all other away… No offence to all our friends we have been cooking for… but lets be honest here, we all know there is always “THAT” party that will be the one to remember until someone does a better one next year. For us Dani Welton’s Private Chef Christmas Party was our Noco’s favourite!! Way to go Dani!!
It was not the first time we worked in this beautiful estate in Windsor Colorado, in one legit kitchen that you can’t stop thinking that it is a treat to be there… We arrived early as we love to do in all our private chef events, as we hate to rush, we do not want time to get in the way, but to get way to endless time. Its sounds all corny fun but it is just one of those philosophical things we like to indulge… Ok, I think I am sidetracking from the story here.
Juli & I started wiping and making our magic, setting our side of the bargain as Dani had decorated the entire house crazy amazing!! there was a christmas tree with a Cowgirl Hat at the top!! haha That is a first time and I loved it!, you could feel uniqueness and expression everywhere!!
In no time a train rush of people arrived, and we where pulling sliders, onion rings, jalapeño poppers and lots of fun finger foods… the crowd in no time was on this amazing Christmas Train and on for a fantastic night!!… what!!… you think I was going to tell and the Naughty that happened in the party??? HA! I am sorry to disappoint you, but If you where not there, maybe there is something in life you need to change, because this group of Amazing friends is something everyone should be looking for!!! Dani & Brady you guys ROCK!!! We are so thankful, and feel so lucky we where part of this story!!
With all the naughty stories in my head,I leave you readers, as Juli & Juan keep moving from place to place sprinkling Magic Food Dust helping party visionaries ROCK THEIR PARTIES!!! =D

We arrived to the house for the Sotheby’s Open House Catering, and did not even had the amount of people confirmed, nor what menu they wanted, but as good friends they trusted that it was not going to be a problem, we where going to be able to do our part! As in our philosophy of work, we do not just provide food, but we become part of the entire experience and that is just what we love to do… So we arrived to this magnificent and ridicules home in the middle of the mountains and what can we say, it is just a piece of art! The entire home was just redecorated and it was astonishing, but when we got to the kitchen… its like enchanted music started playing inside my head, until Kevin turn on the TV to watch football while we set up everything!! Thanks Kevin!! hahah
The realtors started to arrive and we had for them ready some amazing tenderloin panninis, salads, and all sorts of goodies that honestly I would just watch the pictures below, because it does not matters how much I describe them, it will never be the same.
Sotheby’s we appreciate the trust!!, Kevin as always, thank you very much for this amazing opportunity!! Thank you for trusting in us, and for making us part of your passion in life… we hope you enjoy the our experience, and it was everything you expected!! =D
So from the gorgeous mountains of Telluride in this amazing Colorado, Juli y Juan say See you Soon!!! And hope we can come more and more often!!
Look at this Awesome Estate!!!

Christmas Dinner Two Skirts Telluride A Close Call to Fail!!
When Kristin contacted us, and ask if we could host Two Skirts Telluride Christmas Dinner, We where so thrill to have this amazing honor. Not only we were going to have a fantastic time with everyone, but we were driving to this amazing little town in the middle of the mountains called Telluride.
As we started our journey we placed the address in Maps and it said 7 hours, so we were excited. We left home with plenty of time to spare, but what we did not plan was to get hit by two winter blizzards… its was a lot of fun actually, the only set back is that we drove for about 12 hours.
As soon as we got to our destination for the Christmas Dinner, we looked at the clock and had 2 hours to have everything ready!! OMG that was a close call!! But never the less another amazing great adventure!! Luckily dinner came along really nice, everyone had a fantastic time and at the end everyone lived happily ever after… =D
This is Juli y Juan as we set from place to place sharing our magic and passion for the Culinary Arts, so hopefully next time we will be at your place!!

The SpokesBUZZ CD Release VI
It all happen thanks to more great groups, one called High Country Beverage and New Belgium Brewery. Orchestrated by Taylor Walker, and I know many other, SpokesBUZZ invited a few people to a VIP Pre-Party to celebrate the release of their anual SpokesBUZZcompilation CD, Band Together: Volume VI.
Our adventure happen as we arrived to this private and incredible space where the party was going to happen, we arrived with our boxes of goodies as we love to do, and it was time to play our flavour melodies for everyone who was about to arrive… In no time we had the first two, couples, and in a matter of seconds the room was filled with hungry musicians and fans, and followers, supporters and just the right people who needed to be there. We would say around 70 persons at some point. The table where we set up the food was filled with delicious fun bites and people where going around and around, enjoying the atmosphere, drinks and food, as we where dancing to their eating rhythm keeping the plates filled as much as we could!! We got to see old friends, and more familiar faces, as we have just been in Fort Collins for about 2 months settled in… Finally in a matter of seconds, like when someone trows a bone to a pack of hungry wolves, everyones was out of the building, and the event was over, the next party continued at Hodi’s Half Note. Unfortunately we could not go as we had to be in Telluride the next day for another event… but as Taylor said… “Guys, you are on the list if you want to go”, and we that we felt so lucky and well taken care as we gather our circus wagon and continue our adventure.
So many to thank for this great opportunity, but SpokesBUZZ & Taylor Walker specially for thinking on us, and giving us the opportunity to perform our art in your event, thank you for the trust and we just love to be part of this amazing SpokesBUZZ CD Release VI!! Hope that we stay in your heart for your next event!

We had just slept about 5 hours when the alarm sounded and up we where, still at night outside. We where recovering from an event the day before. But this is what December Cooking Rush is all about. We packed our boxes and head to the gorgeous mountains of Vail to do a Christmas party. We arrived and in no time things where rolling… James & Kyle had decided to do an Asian theme which we thought it was a fabulous choice. Suddenly as you feel you have all the time in the world to prepare, it hits and you are about 20 minutes for the first guest to arrive, and the Ohh Shit!!! factor hits up, and from there on everything is a blurry crazy blast of guests, laughs, cooking, smiling, checking that everything is going as well as you can do. Obviously you have to remember one thing… To have Fun, not to Stress out and just flow with the magic that happens on a great preplanned event.
I would love to tell you all the craziness on that night but just so you can get your train rolling, there was a full dressed Elf… and Princess Lea around the party… Only in the Deighans… Only in the Deighans.
James & Kyle, you guys are the best and we want to thank you so much for an amazing night. Thank you for trusting in us and for making us part of your team on this great night that will go in out memories for ever!! Can’t wait for another crazy excuse to be part of your life guys!!
