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.

Sensational Steak Sandwich

Reviewed on Sep. 4, 2008 by Caroline C
I had to change it a wee bit due to what I had on hand. I made it with hoagie rolls, omitted the green pepper as I didn't have any, and I used Gouda and Swiss cheeses. The steak I used was good quality, so I just simmered it with the broth/wine etc for about 30 mins. The sandwich turned out great - meaty, melty, rich and delicious. Thanks!

Dan's Favorite Chicken Sandwich

Reviewed on Sep. 4, 2008 by Caroline C
I had this for lunch but it was so filling, I doubt I'll be wanting any dinner tonight. The only changes I made were to cook the chicken on the Foreman grill, and I microwaved the bacon. Next time, I will omit the barbeque sauce - it didn't complement the Ranch dressing well. Other than that, this is a great sandwich. Thanks, Dan!

Creamy Chicken Stir-Fry

Reviewed on Sep. 4, 2008 by SoCo_Mama
Very Good! The only change I made was that I used Cream of Chicken because I did not have Cream of Celery soup. It tasted wonderful! For veggies I used green, red, and yellow peppers, onions & broccoli. Also, I pre-mixed and heated the cream of chicken, milk, garlic mixture on it's own. I also stir fried the veggies on their own before mixing them with the chicken. Load the rice onto a plate, pour the creamy mixture over the rice, add your veggies and you're done. A quick, inexpensive, and healthy meal! Made even healthier if you use low sodium soup. Enjoy.
