Minnesota

The North Star State is wedged between the Dakotas and Wisconsin, directly above Iowa. Minnesota shares a long border with Canada and is touched on to the northeast by Lake Superior. More than half of Minnesota’s population live in the greater Twin Cities metropolitan area of Minneapolis and St. Paul, leaving much of the state open to agriculture, prairie land, forests, and of course many, many lakes. In a land of 10,000 lakes, you can be sure that fishing is a major sport. The walleye is the official state fish of Minnesota; anglers also fish for bass, trout, pike, and muskies. Fishing is a year-round activity. In winter, intrepid anglers open holes in the ice and keep on fishing. Along the shores of Minnesota lakes, Native Americans once gathered wild rice (which is not really rice at all, but the seeds of a wild grass). Today wild rice is the official grain of the state of Minnesota – it makes a sensational side dish for fresh-caught fish or wild duck.

Mrs. Sigg's Snickerdoodles

Reviewed on Sep. 5, 2008 by Auntie D in MN
Good recipe, my daughter even said she liked them better than some we had at a bakery recently. I followed suggestions to 1) have butter and eggs at room temp, 2) mix wet and dry ingred. seperately before combining, and 3)mix by hand, making sure not to over mix. I was very satisfied with the results.

Lime Muffins

Reviewed on Sep. 5, 2008 by Sumchelle
With one lone lime in the fridge, I decided to use 'er up and try these. To make 'em lower fat, I subbed unsweetened applesauce for the oil. Had to add LOADS more milk & applesauce, as - like everyone stated - batter is THICK! However, maybe I over did it, because not only did I get 12 REGULAR size muffins, but I also got 10 mini-muffins, too! They have a nice flavor, but the texture is so odd.. Really chewy, and they're awfully "heavy".

Frosty Orange Pie

Reviewed on Sep. 5, 2008 by joyful1
Very good but almost a little too sweet. I followed the recipe exact and I think that next time I may try to sub some lower fat ingredients to try and not only cut down on the fat but also the sweetness. I think that this recipe would be great with all different types of flavors.
