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.

Award Winning Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies

Reviewed on Oct. 12, 2008 by Patt
I made this recipe today. I have many recipes similar that use 1/2 the ingredients, which I did and I made 80 cookies. This recipe is for a double batch, which will make anywhere between 144 & 180 cookies easily. I added 1 tsp. salt and an extra 1/4 cup of flour since I live at 8200 feet. I used instant French Vanilla pudding and this is a keeper. Thanks for sharing, Debbi. We LOVE this one!

Quick Cheeseburger Pie

Reviewed on Oct. 12, 2008 by VINERIPENED
SO easy and fast! I used a store-bought crust and then used sweet pickle relish vs. the dill pickle juice and pickles. I couldn't find the swiss cheese so used cheddar cheese and it was great. We set mayo, mustard and ketchup on the table and the whole family got to make their cheeseburger pie complete! My son had 3 helpings! Now I want to try the Mexican version!

Easy Decadent Truffles

Reviewed on Oct. 12, 2008 by VINERIPENED
Some people said this tasted like frosting but I disagree. When coated in white or dark chocolate it tasted like one great truffle! I made them for a party and everyone went on and on about them! I did a mixture--some were coated in coconut flakes, some in white chocolate, some in dark chocolate and some in caramel! I also added some toffee chips to the tops of some. I've made this recipe twice already! I love it!
