Minneapolis, Minnesota

If you think of “Prairie Home Companion,” Jell-O salad, and hot dish when you think of Minnesota cuisine, you’re way off the mark—at least in the Twin Cities. Minneapolis and St. Paul are part of a vibrant Midwest dining scene that’s second only to Chicago. Although the region was settled by Scandinavians drawn to the timber and flour mills, you’ll be hard-pressed to find Norwegian or Swedish restaurants these days now that Marcus Samuelsson’s Aquavit has closed. New immigrants, from Somalia, Laos, and Mexico have changed the local culinary landscape. Minneapolis is the younger, hipper sibling, with cutting-edge restaurants and architecture (check out the new Guthrie Theater overlooking the Mississippi). St. Paul, the state capitol, is the clean-cut traditionalist; famous Summit Avenue residents included F. Scott Fitzgerald and timber magnate Frederick Weyerhaeuser.

About me:
 I'm allergic to gluten and soy, so I have been forced to learn how to cook nearly everything, since almost all our foods are prepared with these ingredients now. I'm a food activist - for organic, local, and sustainable foods. I also wish to remove genetically-modified foods from nearly everything we eat to protect the diversity of foods that will end up dying off if we keep breeding only 1 variety of each type of food. Remember Ireland's potato famine? There used to be 8000 varieties of potatoes, now there are 4. When disease strikes, we are going to be in big trouble.

Chocolate Pretzel Rings

Reviewed on Oct. 14, 2008 by LindaJP
Very good and easy recipe. The only problem I had was to find the round pretzel. I couldn't find them, I went to 4 different stores. One of the cashiers said they will have them around Christmas. I used the small twist pretzel.

Herbed Potato Soup

Not the best of luck...too much onion. I felt like it was missing something. I have had much better. Very boring disappointing.

Hot Ham and Cheese Sandwiches

Reviewed on Oct. 14, 2008 by Sumchelle
For a fun, Halloween meal (got the idea from Taste Of Home), I whipped up SPIDER shaped Ham & Cheese sammies. Using GRANDS! biscuits, Pillsbury Bread Sticks, diced ham, American Cheese, onions and mustard (preference). *(Separated biscuits and filled, then assembled)* Did an egg wash for color, and to hold on the olive "eyes". Fill with your desired meat / cheese / condiments - bake 15 to 20 minutes or so at 375. A little time consuming, but the reaction you'll get from the young ones is totally worth it! (Held the bread stick "legs" in place with balled up aluminum foil)
