Filter by the moment on the calendar you're cooking for — late-summer produce, the fall harvest, or an upcoming festival like Labor Day, Halloween, and Thanksgiving.
Palisade Peach & Burrata Salad
Colorado's Western Slope peaches, torn burrata, and basil with a honey-balsamic drizzle — the salad that marks peach season on the mountain side of the state.
Pueblo Green Chile Pork Stew
Tender braised pork and roasted Pueblo green chiles in a savory broth thick enough to eat with a fork — Colorado comfort food for the first cold snap.
Butternut Squash & Sage Risotto
Creamy arborio rice folded with roasted butternut squash and brown butter sage — a cozy, stir-it-yourself dinner for the first snow of the season.
Western Slope Apple Cider Pork Chops
Bone-in pork chops seared hard and finished in a reduced apple cider pan sauce with Western Slope apples and fresh thyme.
Roasted Poblano & Butternut Squash Chili
A hearty vegetarian chili built on roasted poblano peppers and butternut squash — mild enough for trick-or-treaters, with plenty of toppings to spice it up.
Herb & Citrus Roasted Turkey
A whole turkey rubbed with herb butter and stuffed with orange and rosemary, roasted until the skin is deeply golden and the meat stays juicy.
Pan-Seared Rocky Mountain Trout
Whole trout seared until the skin turns crackling-crisp, finished with a squeeze of lemon and fresh herbs — a Labor Day weekend dinner straight from a Colorado creek.
Honey Skillet Cornbread
Cast-iron cornbread with crisp caramelized edges and a honey-sweetened crumb — the bread that shows up next to every pot of stew or chili in our kitchen.
