Midwestern USA

The American Midwest is the bread basket of the nation. It cuts a large swath from the Great Lakes states out to the Dakotas and south to Kansas. Here in the Heartland, the farms produce the vegetables, grains, fruits, dairy, and meats that feed the rest of the country. When people talk about "American food," they often mean Midwestern cuisine. The cheesy casseroles, beefy pot roasts, baked pastas, meat and potatoes, and homemade pies -- the soothing comfort foods that get us through a chilly winter evening. If you had homemade pie for breakfast this morning, you might qualify as a Midwesterner. Generally speaking, Midwestern cuisine is honest and hearty rather than fancy and frivolous, flavorful but not aggressively spiced.

Chocolate Eclair Dessert

Reviewed on Aug. 28, 2008 by ChicagoCookie84
GREAT reviews from co-workers. I took this to a bbq at work. It was all gone! I followed the ingredients to a T. I brushed my graham crackers with milk to make them moist. I also nuked the frosting for about 40sec to make it easy to spread. This is wayyyy too easy to make for how good it tastes. One coworker from another office said i need to bring this next time im up there! THANKS FOR SHARING. Super quick, cheap and easy! will def make again. (i would have taken a pic but it was all gone)

Coconut Rice

Reviewed on Aug. 28, 2008 by FireMedicJen
I added peas to mine and it was super-tasty. I also just used regular 'ol powder ginger and used regular 'ol white rice. It totally satisfied my midnight curry craving. Thanks!
