Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Called the Cradle of Liberty and Birthplace of the Nation, Philadelphia was where both the Declaration of Independence was signed and the United States Constitution. The City of Brotherly Love was settled first by Dutch, British, Irish, Scandinavians and Germans. Italian immigrants created what would become the famous Philly cheese steak and the pepper pot, while Americans of German decent developed regional wonders like scrapple, shoofly pie, the soft pretzel, and “plain and plenty” dishes like the chicken pot pie. Over the years, Philadelphia has grown in cultural and ethnic diversity, with large Puerto Rican, Jamaican, Asian, and Hispanic populations adding richness to the city’s stellar culinary scene.

Chicken Teriyaki - It's a Secret

Reviewed on Aug. 25, 2008 by THE_PRETTTY1

Maybe I didn't do something right, but this didn't taste very much like teriyaki to me. It didn't taste bad, but it also didn't taste that great either. I won't make it again.

Big Soft Ginger Cookies

Reviewed on Aug. 25, 2008 by LYNN39SCAF

Wonderful. Very similar to antoher recipe that is just as good on this sight. I put 2 cookies together and froze them w/cool whip in between to make ginger ice cream sandwiches. Delicious!
