ONE MILLIONTH SMOOTHIE – RECIPE ALERT!
Can the world have TOO many smoothie recipes? I. Think. Not. One can not possibly have the same smoothie twice, that would be a travesty! The variety and combinations are endless and that’s exactly what I love about them. In fact, there’s WHOLE cookbooks dedicated just to smoothies. One of my favorites, by Kathy Patalsky (http://kblog.lunchboxbunch.com), will show […]
Continue ReadingJUMPIN FOR JULY!
I’m literally kicking up my heels in joy this month. Why so happy you ask? July is my “down” month. No commitments, no events and absolutely NO travel! Granted I’ll still be working away making boots, meeting with clients, providing cooking classes, etc…but for the first time this year I get to do it […]
Continue ReadingBOOT NEWS NOT TO LOSE
I’ve heard your feedback and I get you, I really do! I’m feverishly working on putting your suggestions into place but in the interim there are a few pains…growing pains to be exact (not complaining!). I’m the first to admit this is waaay new territory for me so thanks for being really forgiving for any bumpy […]
Continue ReadingCELEBRATORY WEEKEND
Today I’m gearing up for what I expect to be a super duper weekend. A weekend full of vegfest, anniversaries and Father’s Day…talk about a trifecta! Starting tomorrow I’ll be heading out to Denver to participate in the Colorado Vegfest (vegan cowboy boots anyone?). It’s a two-day event located right outside of Denver in Golden. […]

Last week I “officially” launched my new website http://www.katmendenhall.com, which included a rebranding. Hopefully you’ve checked and out and perhaps even ordered a pair of your very own custom handmade boots (If you haven’t, then get to it!). Combining all my services and products into one site made sense for so many different reasons (marketing […]
Continue ReadingNOT YOUR AVERAGE BOOT STORY
The last few months I’ve been out on the road promoting my vegan cowboy boots. To Marshall, then Austin, home in Dallas, over to New Orleans, and recently in Austin again. It’s been a bit nerve-wracking, tiring too but loads of fun! It’s also been quite the learning experience and for that alone it’s been […]
Continue ReadingSPRING CLEANING
Yesterday, I needed to do some cleaning at the condo (yay me!). This gave me the perfect opportunity to do some cleaning out in the fridge and freezer too. Knocking out two task at once is what I call a great deal. One of the biggest complaints I hear from people is finding the time […]
Continue ReadingWARM WELCOME TO SPRING?
If you didn’t know, Spring arrived yesterday and there are so many reason why we should all be very excited about that. Snow anyone? Ha! Not really funny for those of you still having old man winter hang around. Me, I’d be happy to welcome Spring if it wasn’t for a bout of the flu […]
Continue ReadingAWWWW…. MOUNTAIN HOME & RECIPE ALERT!
Do you hear it, shhh….listen. Closer, no…come closer, listen. YES! Nothing right? That’s right, nothing! That is the sound quietness I enjoy when I’m at our mountain home, no noise! Sure there’s some cars buzzing, buildings being constructed, sirens occasionally alerting, but for the most part it is complete bliss. You can actually hear the birds chirping, […]
