Chicanto Agave (subtitle: Your healthy & safe sweetener)

CHICANTO AGAVE, MONSTRUO DE GILA BBQ SALSA ARTICLE MONTY MONTGOMERY

Arvada Lifestyle | October 2021

N

AMED AFTER THE FAMED AZTEC GODDESS OF THE HEARTH AND HOME, CHANTICO HAS REFINED

ORGANIC AGAVE TREATMENT FOR A RAW TASTE WORTHY OF NATURAL COMFORT. It’s primarily regarded as a beverage sweetener, though agave products hold much more potential. Mix it in your coffee, drizzle some on a bowl of ice cream, or switch it in for honey at the next weekend BBQ. The possibilities are truly far and wide.

Most importantly, agave is a healthy option. It’s naturally 1/3 sweeter than sugar and an optimal go-to for low-glycemic diets or as a lower calorie substitute. Agave also contains prebiotic fiber, vitamin C, potassium, and calcium. It’s available in syrup or powder form and features no chemical processing - instead, Chicanto Agave is heat treated to destroy harmful pathogens, remove heavy metals, and retain an all-natural taste.

Monstruo De Gila BBQ Salsa is another product recently launched

by Origo brands, packed and processed out of Hudson to keep production local to Colorado. Inspired by the Gila Monsters of the southwest, the company supports the habitat of these endangered reptiles through donations and awareness-building. The BBQ salsa itself is crafted from Anaheim green chiles of the Hatch Valley in New Mexico - among the “best tasting chiles in the world” according to David Cisneros, co-owner of Origo Brands. They’re mixed with tomatillo chiles to balance out the heat before adding a bit of vinegar, though the rest is guarded as a secret of Gila’s trade. Its use goes deeper than simple chips and dip, serving as an ideal marinade or all-purpose sauce. The Gila BBQ Salsa is already selling online and locally in Colorado with inevitable national rollouts in the Latinx food category.

Origo Brands makes its mark outside of the kitchen by supporting organizations aligning with their values, like Trees for the Future. The company has planted over 500,000 trees in total to offset the carbon emissions of production.

To browse the full length of Origo Brand’s products, take a look at Chantico Agave’s website at www.chanticoagave.com and visit www.monstruo-de-gila.com for information about Monstruo De Gila BBQ Salsa.

For breakfast and lunch, we split our time between dine-in and carryout service at the casual Seed Café and Market. The menu included a handful of Chopra Health Retreat foods along with an impressive assortment of gluten free, nut free, and vegan dishes.

We were able to adhere to our nutrient-dense diet without any issues since the restaurant’s emphasis was on using locally grown, colorful superfoods rich with micro-nutrients.

Each night, we enjoyed multi-course meals at the Terras restaurant. The menus offered a wide range of creative dishes. When talking about his menus, Chef Scott said, “Civana is a wellness resort. We want our guests to feel great while they are here, so we offer something for everyone while keeping it fresh and beautiful.”

With a jam packed schedule of indoor and outdoor activities, our appetites were soaring. Luckily, the food quality and the portions matched are continuous need to be nourished throughout the day.

In a desert environment, we also had to make sure that we remained hydrated. The resort had multiple water stations situated in convenient locations where we could refill our Civana insulated water bottles.

DINNER After a full day of classes and activities, we were glad that Terras, the onsite restaurant, offered wonderful food choices. We started each meal with at least one appetizer. The Raw and Charred Tomato Carpaccio, the Hearts of Palm “Crab” Cake, and the Crudo Lettuce Wraps topped our list.

This creative carpaccio had whipped chevre, avocado, nopale, crispy corn, and complementary herbs. The spicier crudo was enhanced with sushi grade Pacific grouper, oranges, radishes, avocado, lime leaf, and chiles.

Each car sold by Grand Valley Auto is eligible for an extended warranty with lenient terms to ensure that customers aren’t tied into any sticky situations. The company brings an unconventional

understanding to the needs of warranties, a trait that seems to be lost on most pre-owned car dealerships. Lorimer even spends over $1,000 in reconditioning costs per unit, further highlighting their focus on quality assurance. This means that if a car desperately needs new brakes or shocks, for example, Grand Valley Auto will cover the necessary costs to fix it up pre-sale.

Ryan Lorimer and his team strive to achieve the label of “#1 Automotive Dealer in the State of Colorado,” offering top-tier customer service to both loyal and potential clients whether it’s an in-face meeting or a virtual tour. Their sales teams can seamlessly fit a person to their future car whether it’s a high-end sports machine or the first ride for your high schooler. Financial teams are savvy enough to find you an option while maintaining affordability as a priority. In fact, they can work with over 40 different banks and credit unions in an array of credit scenarios. Master and A.S.E. mechanics give you the confidence that you’re leaving the lot in a healthy, reliable vehicle. It’s the local dealership that you can trust, with the resources to offer 250 pre-owned options at a time. Visit their website at www.gvalakewood.com, call (888) 706-2082 to chat with their sales team, or check out their collection of over 1,000 reviews on Google.

For any questions or concerns related to the buying process, the Grand Valley Auto team is there to help out. Their customer service representatives are skilled and vetted in any and all things car sales, and are there to assist you in any regard.

CULINARY CREATIONS

C F O O M O F D O R T AS COOLER TEMPS START TO ROLL IN, DITCHING OUR MINIMALISTIC LAYERS AND FLIPPY FLOPPY’S FOR A KNIT SWEATER AND COVERED TOES; WE ALSO TEND TO CRAVE A BIT MORE WARMTH IN OUR BELLIES. Without need for discussion, there’s nothing quite like the household sounds of a game day whistle through the TV while simultaneously an oven timer sets off. What’s the dish you’re pulling out the oven? Not a 10 minute frozen pizza or the typical BBQ ribs. Revitalize the family with a dish full of veggies and goodies. The kind of dish you go back to for seconds, but the rest of the family has already inhaled more than their share. We’re sure this Cajun Beef Casserole is just the ticket.

The Prescott’ is a culinary change maker whose feed you’ll want to feast on.

S c a n fo r t h e f u l l article online.

“Slovenia borders Italy and Croatia, which is to say there are

a lot of shared values in and around food; they have really great cheese, dairy, beef, pasta, but very few tourists, hardly any. So if you love Italy, that kind of specific travel and food experience, particularly Northern Italy, because you can see the Alps from where they are. It’s picture perfect, a beautiful place, and also where orange wine is from.”

Dennis also highly recommends Costa Rica, Hawaii and Finland.

“Most people love the idea of travel, but we tend to pick the same places when we travel, and there is nothing wrong with that, they are amazing for a reason, but when you get off the beaten path a little bit, you learn the difference between vacation and travel.”
