Omaha, Nebraska

Omaha, Nebraska is nestled along the state border with Iowa, placing it very much in the heart of the Midwestern United States. The birthplace of former President Gerald Ford, Malcolm Little (known as Malcolm X), Marlon Brando, and Fred Astaire, Omaha has had many of its citizens play large roles in American life. The College World Series of baseball has also called Omaha home since 1950. For Omaha’s greatest contribution to the American culinary tradition, look no further than the grilled corned beef on rye sandwich known as the Reuben. It is believed that a grocer named Reuben Kulakofsky created the sandwich as part of a regular poker meeting with friends. One of the other players who owned a local hotel put the “Reuben” on his hotel’s menu. Thus, an American favorite was born.

Sausage Stroganoff

Reviewed on Oct. 12, 2008 by CURTISLEE
So quick. So easy. So tasty. I used mashed potatoes instead of noodles, but either would be great. Rice would also be delicious. When you are in a hurry, but still want great taste, this recipe is perfect.

Garlic Chicken with Orzo Noodles

Reviewed on Oct. 9, 2008 by Quintella
I enjoyed this recipe last night and it was very good, I had never had orzo before and found it to be light and yummy. As suggested I cooked in in chicken broth. The whole thing was yummy. The one thing I did differntly is I browned my chicken half way so it would have color took it out of the skillet then added my garlic/onions then threw the chicken back in with the orzo. Yummo! Try it you will like it.
