Cincinnati, Ohio

Called the “Queen City of the West,’ Cincinnati sits along the Ohio River, nestled into low rolling hills. Long an important river port town, Cincinnati was settled largely by Germans, and by the mid-1800s, was known as “Porkopolis” because of its importance as a meat-packing place. Cincinnati’s German heritage remains on display in the food-friendly festivals (Over-the-Rhine) and beer gardens (Mecklenburg Gardens). Cincinnati marks the unofficial crossing point between the South and Midwest. Modern residents of Cincinnati can boast of a trademark dish: Cincinnati Chili. It comes any of "five ways": as a straight-up bowl of chili, served over spaghetti, and topped with beans, cheese and/or onions. It is thought to have been the invention of Greek or Bulgarian immigrants to Cincinnati.

Peanut Butter Pie I

Reviewed on Sep. 5, 2008 by Rachael

This pie has been such a huge hit, I have to make 2 more for this weekend, just to take to work! I substituted 1/4 cup sugar for 1/2 cup of heavy cream. I also made a regular graham cracker crust instead of chocolate cookie crust, which I've been told is a good move because it would have made the pie a little too rich with the chocolate cookie. Overall, I will use this recipe everytime!

Black Bean Soft Tacos

Reviewed on Sep. 3, 2008 by cookin'mama

This is a very easy and delicious recipe. I made them one day ahead of serving them for the flavors to blend and served them on homemade tortillas. The Cafe Rio sauce that I made for the sweet pork tacos I also served worked well here, too. Even your most ardent carnivore won't miss the meat!
