Minnesota

The North Star State is wedged between the Dakotas and Wisconsin, directly above Iowa. Minnesota shares a long border with Canada and is touched on to the northeast by Lake Superior. More than half of Minnesota’s population live in the greater Twin Cities metropolitan area of Minneapolis and St. Paul, leaving much of the state open to agriculture, prairie land, forests, and of course many, many lakes. In a land of 10,000 lakes, you can be sure that fishing is a major sport. The walleye is the official state fish of Minnesota; anglers also fish for bass, trout, pike, and muskies. Fishing is a year-round activity. In winter, intrepid anglers open holes in the ice and keep on fishing. Along the shores of Minnesota lakes, Native Americans once gathered wild rice (which is not really rice at all, but the seeds of a wild grass). Today wild rice is the official grain of the state of Minnesota – it makes a sensational side dish for fresh-caught fish or wild duck.

Zesty Chicken Meatloaf

Reviewed on Sep. 6, 2008 by Suzanne
I was surprised at how much I liked this recipe! It's the first meatloaf I've ever made. It seems pretty flexible for substitutions. I used ground turkey instead of chicken (that's not really a huge change). I didn't have ranch, so I used sour cream w/ black pepper, and instead of taco mix, I used a bunch of cumin, and a couple shakes of chili powder and cayenne pepper. Fresh onions and garden peppers also work very well in this recipe. I was a bit skeptical, but I loved it, and I'm sending it to my mom. :)

Spicy Beef Curry Stew for the Slow Cooker

Reviewed on Sep. 6, 2008 by KITCHENWHICH?
This is very good and something I would definatly prepare again. As recommended by other cooks, I added another large jalapeno (with seeds,) I upped the ginger by a half teaspoon and I always add extra garlic over what is called for in any recipe. In this case, I doubled the garlic. Next time, I will add a tsp of brown sugar. For some green and added nutrition, I added cooked Trader Joe's organic green beans to the hot crockpot mixture, stirred, and served over jasmine rice. YUM!

Cool Whipped Frosting

Reviewed on Sep. 6, 2008 by bizzymomma
This is very good and very light. I could eat it plain or surely as a fruit dip! Next time I will leave out the vanilla extract as I feel the vanilla pudding is enough. This would be great leaving the milk out and substituting in a can (with juices) of crushed pineapple. I used this to frost "Whipped Cream Cake II" from this site. FYI: It is not as thick as a regular frosting!!
