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.

Easy Paella

Reviewed on Aug. 6, 2008 by SNOW103099
Very tastey! I made it for my family and my parents today. I used 3 chicken legs and 3 chicken thighs instead of chicken breast, I used skin on chicken, smoked sausage along with the chirozo, a huge pinch of saffron as suggested by another veiwer, and it was awesome! Thanks!

Christmas Breakfast Sausage Casserole

Reviewed on Aug. 6, 2008 by BigAspirations
Super easy to make and my friends and family cannot get enough of it. Make sure to put this in the fridge over night to set up. I made a couple of other changes including using a total of 6 eggs, and 1 tsp. of dried minced onion and a pinch of black pepper. I have made it without the mustard powder and it is just as good.
