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.

Peanut Butter Bars I

Reviewed on Oct. 6, 2008 by sarah
I decreased the butter to 1 1/2 sticks, and used 14 graham crackers, and milk chocolate chips. You really need to pulverize the graham crackers to a fine powder to get the texture of this recipe right. I used a 7x11 pan so they'd be thicker. Taste just like Reese's except the filling is a little coarser.

Easy Pizza Sauce III

Reviewed on Oct. 5, 2008 by bizzymomma
This is a good option when you are in a pinch or hurry. I think it would be better if it simmered a bit, but it works! I added some chopped tomatoes to it just to get a little extra nutrition into those kids!
