Harvest-Inspired Meals

At C Lazy U, dining is an inspired affair. As Chef Cory maps out his menu for the season, he draws on fond memories of harvest time as a child. Some of Cory’s favorite aspects of fall cooking are using the season’s bounty and honoring the classic traditions of preparing for the long winter months ahead. Autumn marks the return of comfort food season and the gathering of families indoors to warm their bodies and hearts – and what better way to warm the heart than sharing a meal with loved ones?

This year’s meals feature some of Cory’s favorite seasonal ingredients, like fresh apples, ripe squash, juicy pears, and – arguably the best of wild game meats – elk. This season, look forward to hearty meals showcasing braised proteins slow-cooked to perfection. Not only does this method enhance each ingredient’s unique flavors, but it also creates fall-off-the-bone tenderness.

The Freshest Fall Flavors  

In the fall, guests can enjoy horseback riding to see postcard-worthy views of Colorado’s famous golden aspens, hike through miles of crisp outdoor countryside, or snuggle up around the fire to reminisce about the day’s activities. And at C Lazy U, mealtime is a big part of the autumnal magic. Chef Cory and his team are building fall’s menu based on the stars of the season – including winter squash, apples, pears, mushrooms, venison, duck, and elk. More interested in sweet than savory? We have you covered! Cory’s team works side-by-side with the pastry team to ensure your dish embodies the spirit of the season from start to finish.
