I picked Crema Coffee House in Denver’s Rino neighborhood for its funky atmosphere and fun menu. Part of Crema’s draw …
The condiment to end all condiments, this creamy avocado cilantro sauce is good on everything, and is made in 3 minutes with a blender. Everyone knows the struggle of finding a perfectly ripe avocado. Eat them too soon and they are hard as rock and devoid of flavor. Eat them too late and they are lack-luster …
