Indiana

Situated between Illinois and Ohio and just below Michigan, the Hoosier State occupies the center of the Midwest. Incidentally, the original meaning of Hoosier is no great compliment: it means an ungainly, awkward yokel. But Indianans have unabashedly embraced the name. Hoosier is also the team name of Indiana University in Bloomington. A few Indiana culinary traditions include Persimmon pudding, Indiana chile (with beef and beans), and popcorn. About half of Indiana’s farmland is planted in corn, and Hoosiers have been popping kernels since Native Americans first taught them the trick. The Indianapolis 500, held every year over Memorial Day weekend, is one of America’s premiere tailgating events. Pre-race, fans can fuel up at Breakfast at the Brickyard and the annual Champions Pasta Dinner. And the winning driver of the Indy 500 traditionally hoists a big glass bottle of cold milk in the winner’s circle.

About me:
 I love to cook! I'm so very thankful for my grandma, she had the patience to teach me all her tricks. I also had my stepmom as a big influence in my cooking. My grandma has been gone for some times now. In memory of her I am putting together a family cookbook. I would ultimately like to have it published.

Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Sandwiches

Reviewed on jul. 4, 2009 by rileysdad1 
Wonderful. The whole family loved them. I used the whole packet of Ranch, and when I took the chicken out to shred it i added a little cornstarch to thicken up the sauce. Everyone says that it tastes just like hooters buffalo chicken sandwiches!

Pineapple Banana Bread

Reviewed on jul. 4, 2009 by reikifeet 
Yum! After reading the reviews, i tweaked it thusly (because i just can't follow a recipe to the letter!). Cut sugar to 1-1/2 cups (and i think 1-3/4 cups would have been better) and used a blend of white, light brown, and molasses. For flour, used 1-1/2 cups white, and 1-1/2 cups whole wheat plus oatmeal & flax meal; added a couple handfuls extra oatmeal to compensate for molasses. For oil, used a little of the pineapple juice, mostly coconut oil and a little olive oil. Used 4 black bananas & added toasted walnuts. Made in muffin tins. Yum!

Easy Greek Skillet Dinner

Reviewed on jul. 4, 2009 by reikifeet 
After reading the reviews, i tweaked a bit: while the pasta cooked, i matchsticked the carrots (so they'd cook faster) and started them cooking in the juices from (one can of fire-roasted tomatoes) (one can of mushrooms) (one large can of black olives). i used a lot of tuscan sunset seasoning (maybe 2T?). put in some pre-cooked ground beef from my freezer (maybe 3/4 lb?) and reduced the liquid a bit. then added the canned veggies & can of soup w/out the water. i only used about half the olives, and cut them in half. served w/ parmesan cheese, not necessarily greek anymore, but everyone loved it!
