Plains Midwest

The half-dozen states that make up the Plains sub-region of the Midwest represent America’s farm country. Until the end of the 19th century, the Great Plains had been the stomping ground of the American buffalo, or bison. Following their destruction, and with the introduction of irrigation, the plains states became America’s primary grain producers. The Plains Midwest makes up the Bread Basket and a good portion of the Corn Belt, as well. Kansas is wheat country. Iowa and Nebraska are known more for corn. But only Mitchell, South Dakota, can boast an actual Corn Palace. Where corn is produced in massive quantities, you can expect lots of hogs and cattle, which feed on the corn crop. And the Plains Midwest is meat and potatoes territory. Cattle are raised on the vast ranchlands, and beef vies with pork as the most popular meats.

Biscotti

Reviewed on Oct. 11, 2008 by Jan C
Very nice biscotti. While I would prefer more of a buttery taste, using oil extends the shelf life. I made a double batch and added various combinations of sliced almonds, dried cranberries, and chocolate chips. I drizzled a chocolate glaze over some of them (1/4 cup butter and 5 oz of bittersweet or semi-sweet chocolate). That gives you a huge variety of flavors with little additional work. For those that think the dough is hard to work with, you just need to sprinkle a very small amount of flour on each log - it makes them much easier to handle.

Bob's Stuffed Mushrooms

Reviewed on Oct. 11, 2008 by GIMPYGOO
These were fantastic! Only thing is, nobody could taste the clams...and since I tripled the recipe for a big party, the clams added about $6 to the cost. I think I'll leave them out next time to save some bucks. Everyone loved them!
