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.

Chicken Katsu

Reviewed on Sep. 8, 2008 by Kris Granholm
Simple yet tasty. My oil was a bit hot on the first try and I blackened the coating a little but chicken came out perfect. Second time around was spot on, golden and crispy. Seems too simple a recipe for the great results. Next time I'll try kicking things up with some curry powder.

Honey Roasted Red Potatoes

Reviewed on Sep. 7, 2008 by ONIOND
I'm so glad I tried these. So simple, so yummy. I was a little short on potatoes but I added extra onion (used a whole yellow onion, cut into largish pieces) because we like onions. Turned out great!

Sweet Green Bean Bundles

Reviewed on Sep. 7, 2008 by ONIOND
These were great. I didn't change a thing other than the type of green beans; my garden is going nuts so I used fresh raw green beans instead of canned. Everyone loved them, thanks for a great recipe!
