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.

About me:
 I am a 23 year old sous chef, wife and mother of one (so far). We moved to Missouri a while ago from Minnesota so I could further my culinary career. I am a culinary school graduate with a double major in pastry and restaurant managment (opposite ends of the spectrum, I know). I have a 4 month old Australian Ridgeback puppy who keeps me busier than my 2 year old. Besides cooking I enjoy exercising, doing crafts with my daughter, and throwing dinner parties.

Wisconsin Native's Beer Cheese Soup

Reviewed on Nov. 20, 2008 by Jules1369
Good, but not great. My 11 yr old gobbled it up. The rest of us liked it just fine but weren't wow-ed by it. If I make it again, I'll puree the veggies. It was time consuming, which is why I say "if I make it again."

Crispy Fried Fish

Reviewed on Nov. 20, 2008 by Jules1369
Very very good. Used talapia instead of cod, since that's what I had on hand. Ran out of Cajun spice before I wanted to, but was still happy with the results. The corn flakes made a nice and crispy coating. Yum.

Green Bean and Potato Salad

Reviewed on Nov. 20, 2008 by Jules1369
If my husband loved it, it rates a five star. Period. ("Food snob.") My kids and I really liked it, too. A few changes that I don't think really made a difference on my rating: served cold rather than warm/hot ("potato salad" should be cold!); used raw beans instead of steamed (for no reason other than it seemed like it would work just as well). The main change: I ran out of balsamic and substituted red wine vinegar. It was great this way - I'm convinced it will be even better with balsamic. Definitely will make again and again. Served with "Crispy Fried Fish" and "Wisconsin Native's Beer Cheese Soup" - both from this site. (Although, I give the soup a lower rating.)
