Plains Midwest

The half-dozen states that make up the Plains sub-region of the Midwest represent America’s farm country. Until the end of the 19th century, the Great Plains had been the stomping ground of the American buffalo, or bison. Following their destruction, and with the introduction of irrigation, the plains states became America’s primary grain producers. The Plains Midwest makes up the Bread Basket and a good portion of the Corn Belt, as well. Kansas is wheat country. Iowa and Nebraska are known more for corn. But only Mitchell, South Dakota, can boast an actual Corn Palace. Where corn is produced in massive quantities, you can expect lots of hogs and cattle, which feed on the corn crop. And the Plains Midwest is meat and potatoes territory. Cattle are raised on the vast ranchlands, and beef vies with pork as the most popular meats.

Spinach Pomegranate Salad

Reviewed on Dec. 2, 2008 by Mary Cat
I made this for Christmas last year and it was beautiful. It's easy to remove the pomigranate seeds if you place it in a dish of water and remove the seeds underwater. This prevents them from popping out on the counter and floor. The red and green presentation of this salad is very elegant.

Sausage Crescent Rolls

Reviewed on Dec. 2, 2008 by VJGUNKEL59
easy, easy easy! Rarely does a recipe get this easy with such delicous results. I've used this as an appetizer, breakfast sandwhich, and find that people gobble them up as quick as they hit a serving tray.

Banana Muffins II

Reviewed on Dec. 2, 2008 by Diane A.
These turned out well! I added a bit of vanilla to the batter, and then sprinkled a mixture of brown sugar and cinnamon over the top. They freeze well also. :)
