Manitoba

Carved out of the Northwest Territories in 1870, Manitoba is the easternmost of central Canada’s three Prairie Provinces. Though technically part of western Canada, Manitoba lies smack-dab in the country’s center, midway between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. It sits above North Dakota and Minnesota, and to the northeast borders onto Hudson Bay. Thirteen-thousand years ago, much of Manitoba was underwater, beneath the enormous glacial Lake Agassiz (larger than all of the Great Lakes combined). Today, thousands of lakes, remnants of the big lake, dot the province, and Winnepeg, Manitoba’s capital, stretches out across the dried bed of that ancient lake. Manitoba’s lakes, wetlands, forests, and prairies offered Native tribes terrific abundance. Well before natives made contact with English and French fur traders in the 1600s, they were consuming bison, elk, caribou, fish (like pickerel and goldeye), wild rice, and berries. Many of these foods remain on the menu in Manitoba. Healthful canola oil was developed from rapeseed at the University of Manitoba in 1974. The name Canola is a mash-up of the words Canada and oil.

White Bread For The Bread Machine

Reviewed on Nov. 11, 2009 by Dixie'sMom 
Fantastic! Made was written, however I decided to bake in a conventional oven at 350* for approximately 30 minutes. A light, fluffy bread, with a lovely golden brown crust. Thanks Diana for the terrific recipe.

Cherry Snowballs

Reviewed on Nov. 10, 2009 by karataronno 
These are really yummy! The cookie part tastes sort of like shortbread. I also did as others had done and used the cherry juice instead of milk. Will make again. Next time I might try pineapple in the center seeing that my hubby doesn't like cherries.

Cheeseburger Pasta 'n Vegetables Dinner

Reviewed on Nov. 9, 2009 by Shantal B 
This is a really good recipe. Even our picky 3 year old liked it and wanted seconds. Great use of the Knorr side dish. The only addition was about 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, and salt and pepper.
