Idaho

The Gem State is wedged between Washington and Montana in the Pacific Northwest. Its wide southern border is shared with Nevada and Utah, and it has a short border with British Columbia, Canada, to the north. The Cutthroat trout, and important fish for anglers, is Idaho’s official state fish. Besides wild trout, farmed trout are a big Idaho industry. The huckleberry, native to Idaho, is the state fruit. Huckleberries grow wild in Idaho. To make pies with fresh, wild huckleberries, Idahoans compete with bears for the delicious deep purple berries. Famous for potatoes, Idaho might soon became known for winemaking as well. In March 2007, the Snake River Valley earned designated as an American Viticultural Area, the first such distinction granted to a wine-growing area in Idaho. Incidentally, crisp Rieslings are leading the way in the Snake River Valley – a varietal that pairs wonderfully with fried potatoes!

Penne Pasta with Spinach and Bacon

Reviewed on Oct. 8, 2008 by tatergirl

This is a quick and easy meal. I used Italian-style canned tomatos that were already seasoned with basil, onion, and garlic. I only used 1/2 lb of bacon and also added parmesan and cherry tomatos.
