Omaha, Nebraska

Omaha, Nebraska is nestled along the state border with Iowa, placing it very much in the heart of the Midwestern United States. The birthplace of former President Gerald Ford, Malcolm Little (known as Malcolm X), Marlon Brando, and Fred Astaire, Omaha has had many of its citizens play large roles in American life. The College World Series of baseball has also called Omaha home since 1950. For Omaha’s greatest contribution to the American culinary tradition, look no further than the grilled corned beef on rye sandwich known as the Reuben. It is believed that a grocer named Reuben Kulakofsky created the sandwich as part of a regular poker meeting with friends. One of the other players who owned a local hotel put the “Reuben” on his hotel’s menu. Thus, an American favorite was born.

About me:
 I LOVE to bake and am known as the "cookie mom" to my kids' classes. Now that I am back teaching full time I don't get to bake as often as I'd like. Cooking can be fun, but give me butter, sugar and chocolate and let me go to it! Baking is a great stress reliever for me where as cooking is more of a chore.

Tater Tot Hot Dish II

Reviewed on May 9, 2008 by Momof4
I made this last night for my family (including my husband who "hates casseroles") and they LOVED it. I was surprised that the tots disintegrated, because other tot casserole recipes I've made didn't do that - but it was ok - it actually added to the overall yumminess of the dish, and made me realize I could use shredded hashbrowns in a pinch if I didn't have tots. I did modify slightly - used more meat, added 2 cans (drained) of french style green beans, and topped with cheddar cheese over the french fried onions. The cheese and onions made this wonderfully cheesy/crispy top layer, that my husband said he'd have loved to eat alone! It was great. I highly recommend this dish for anybody with kids!

Roasted Vegetable Chicken

Reviewed on May 8, 2008 by Momof4
Made this last night, and it was fantastic. Next time I will probably rub some butter and herbs UNDER the skin of the chicken, as all the stuff I put on top of the chicken came off as it baked. Also, I didn't cut up the potatos because the recipe didn't call for it, and I ended up having to nuke the potatos at the end because they weren't quite done yet.
