There’s a reason blogs about food are popular – eating is fun, really fun! Boulder, a town known for its healthy lifestyle, boasts plenty of food bloggers who offer advice on everything from where to go to what to cook. Here is just a taste:
A Bolder Table
A blog written by a professional chef, A Bolder Table features recipes as well as food news related to Boulder and the Front Range. The recipes teeter between things that are good for your health and things that are just good for your sweet tooth.
Hunger and Thirst
Hunger and Thirst is a blog focused on sustainability – its motto is “Food, like life, is best when it’s wild and free.” It teaches you how to create the types of dishes you won’t find in supermarkets. The latest posts include acorn meatballs and Yucca flower quesadillas.
Culinary Colorado
For those looking for guidance on Colorado restaurants and local jaunts, Culinary Colorado is a worthy read. The blog includes recipes, but it appears to focus more on places than plates. Not only does it discuss where to go for dinner or dessert, but it posts articles about near and far festivals, too. Wine festivals? Of course. But festivals dedicated to things like mushrooms, as well.
Taking My Sweet Time
Penned by a Boston transplant who moved to Colorado, Taking My Sweet Time – ironically – features several recipes that are quick and easy. The recipes range from finger foods to desserts to sauces. Have you ever wanted to eat something called Texas Trash? Check out the blog and you just might.
Elana’s Pantry
Gluten-free diets may be fads for some people, but for those with Celiac Disease, they’re a permanent way of life. Elana’s Pantry, written by a woman diagnosed with Celiac Disease, features recipes that are both grain-free and paleo. The author focuses on meals not only conducive to health, but those that are simple to make, too. The shorter the ingredient list, the better.
One Hungry Bunny
The idea behind One Hungry Bunny is to teach people that food is fun even when it’s healthy. Authored by a registered dietician, the blog showcases the benefits of various dishes – creamy peanut butter strawberry chia pudding, perhaps? – and chronicles the misadventures relatable to anyone who’s ever preheated an oven.
Boulder Locavore
Boulder Locavore is a unique blog that started as an experiment. The writer wanted to see if she could survive a Colorado winter by using local resources. In doing so, she discovered a simple way to dine. The blog focuses on seasonal food, drink recipes, travel adventures, and celebration of good eats. Rah-rah-rah-radishes!
Colorado, and Boulder especially, is known for health – we’re still the leanest state in the nation. But we’re also known for food and the blogs here attest to that. From green chili to Palisade peaches to buffalo burgers, our plates runneth over.
