Denver, Colorado

“Thar’s gold in them thar hills! Pike’s Peak or Bust” More hype than actuality as it turned out, the slogan drew fortune seekers to Denver environs in 1858 and many stayed. Forged on the eastern slope of the Rockies, the city grew as a supply center for westward-bound wagon trains. The railroad’s arrival in 1870 brought another wave of settlers, plus grist mills for western wheat and numerous stockyards. Today, a skyline of modern office towers marks Denver as the Rocky Mountain region’s principle commercial, financial, and industrial hub. Food traditions in the mile-high city reflect its diverse population and frontier town history, from hearty cuts of beef to buffalo steaks. Teeming with baristas, drive-throughs, brewpubs, pork mains, superb Tex-Mex fare, Asian restaurants, sandwiches (maybe the Denver or Western omelet/sandwich was invented here, although food historians wonder), and barbeque, of course, Denver offers an all-American feast.

Sausage Spinach Alfredo Lasagna

Reviewed on Aug. 20, 2008 by Caroline C
The only thing I did differently was to use fresh spinach. I also threw in some diced onion as I was browning the sausage. This was good but not quite as good as regular beef/marinara lasagna. Thanks!

Apple-Bacon Green Beans

Reviewed on Aug. 19, 2008 by Caroline C
Not bad but not great. I cut back on the amount of apple, and also omitted the parsley. Oh, and I used fresh green beans. The dressing was good, if a little sweet. This was nice for a change but I won't be making it again. Thanks anyway!

Hudson's Baked Tilapia with Dill Sauce

Reviewed on Aug. 19, 2008 by Caroline C
The dill sauce is absolutely delicious, and complements the fish perfectly. The recipe makes WAY too much of it though - next time, I will halve it. You need to keep an eye on the fish - my fillets were pretty thin, and were done in about 12 minutes. Thanks!
