Chris and I are hoping to make our trip to Colorado a yearly tradition as it has been two years in a row that we visited and stayed at one of our favorite hotels + saw a show Red Rocks Amphitheater, and it's safe to say we fell in love with it all. With that, we thought it was only fitting to create a "Vegan in Colorado" guide to round up our favorite spots in the area to help you plan your trip if you ever visit :)

We partnered up with the St. Julien Hotel (see last year's post here), and not only worked on a photography project with them, but were also fortunate enough to stay and review the hotel. The hotel is located in a prime spot of Boulder. It is walking distance from Pearl Street (aka Downtown Boulder where it's poppin'), and Chris and I found ourselves there almost every day on our trip. On weekend nights the hotel has live music and dancing, and you can also check out a ton of street performers, live music, and events happening at different restaurants on Pearl St. just a short walk away.Vegan in Colorado + The St.Julien Hotel 2017 sweetsimplevegan.com #vegan #colorado #vegantravel

Easy Veggie Sliders + Cashew Mustard Cheese Sauce {gluten- & oil-free} sweetsimplevegan.com When Best of Vegan hosts a Best of Vegan Burger Contest, best believe that Chris and I are going to enter. The creation of this burger actually came together all on its own. Almost all of the ingredients that are in this burger were already available to us to use in my home, with the exception of the bread, mushrooms and large tomatoes that we ran to the store for.Easy Veggie Sliders + Cashew Mustard Cheese Sauce {gluten- & oil-free} sweetsimplevegan.com

After Chris had moved to LA in October, we had discussed making homemade veggie burgers for our blogs, all thanks to an at home dinner we had with Hillary Eats Well Hemp & Greens Burgers we had found at our local Whole Foods Market. This burger tastes like Stove Top Stuffing to me, something that I grew up eating, and recently created a vegan substitute for! I loved the herb and spice mixture of the patty, but what I did not enjoy was the amount of oil in the ingredients. I was determined to create an oil-free version of these with my own personal touch, and that is exactly what I did. Plus, #Novemburger is in full effect, so celebrate with a fun veggie burger recipe...or two, a bonus one is featured below ;) Chris and I aren't sure if that is even a thing, but with this, we will make it happen!
