Her Hungarian wax pepper relish was the signature flavor at the Bed & Breakfast on Mitchell creek she ran with her husband, Stan, in Glenwood Springs.

Inspired by her roots, Carole dreamed of sharing “Carole’s Kitchen” pepper creations with the world.

Though Carole’s untimely passing left a void, her legacy lived on through her daughter, Stacey who has carried the torch in creating get zingy.
