Colorado

Colorado became a state in 1876, one-hundred years after the signing of the Declaration of Independence, thus earning it the nickname the Centennial State. The name Colorado comes from the Rio Colorado, which in Spanish means, “the red-colored river.” Colorado exists on the boundary between the Southwest, the Mountain States, and the Central Plains. It is the home of the Great Rocky Mountains, but Colorado also marks the spot where the magnificent peaks flatten out into the wide-open rangelands of the Great Plains. What was once bison country is now big beef country. Historically, the stews, roasts, and one-pot dishes that grew up on the plains of Colorado made use of wild game and freshwater fish, reflecting the diet of early prospectors, explorers, and Native Americans. Today, there is also a considerable and well-established organic food industry in Colorado; and on the Western Slope of the Rockies, an impressive wine industry has emerged.

Cheesy Green Chili Rice

Reviewed on Sep. 5, 2008 by Aqua
I used brown rice and low fat sour cream to make this a little healthier. I also added a can of corn just because I felt like it; so it is hard to rate this recipe. First of all it made way more then I needed. We have been trying to eat it for days. Secondly, it smells funny. It tastes good but smells weird. I will have to try it again when I get my Hatch Green Chili supply and use white rice and regular sour cream for a treat.

Blueberry Buttermilk Coffeecake

Reviewed on Sep. 5, 2008 by Yumalicious321
This was really good. As suggested by many others, I substituted brown sugar for the white sugar and added cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. Delish!!! I think I will make 1 1/2 times the topping next time, or maybe even double it. This is a really good recipe. Everyone in my family really enjoyed it.
