South Dakota

The Mount Rushmore State is sandwiched between North Dakota and Nebraska and is sliced in half by the Missouri River as it flows south out of Montana. South Dakota was named after the Dakota Indians of the Sioux Nation, who along with millions of bison once inhabited the Great Plains of America. In the Sioux language, the word Dakota means “allies” or “friends.” In the 1870s, gold was discovered in the Black Hills, prompting a mob of prospectors to invade the hills. Along with pick axes and mining pans, the miners brought hogs and dried beans. They got by on little more than bacon, beans, cornbread, and coffee. Later, cattle were introduced into South Dakota, along with the ring-necked pheasant (brought all the way from China). The ring-necked pheasant is South Dakota’s state bird, and a popular game bird for hunters. Many early settlers in South Dakota were of German, Scandinavian, and Irish ancestry. Kuchen (from the German word for “cake”) is the state dessert of South Dakota. Fry bread, milk, wheat, and the walleye fish are other official state foods of South Dakota.

Chocolate Crinkles II

Reviewed on Nov. 11, 2009 by recipejunkie5 
My 3-year old granddaughter and I made these. I substituted applesauce for the oil and Egg Beaters for the eggs. The taste was delicious and the texture reminds me of a soft brownie which was great! The only disappointment was that we could not roll them into balls. The dough was so sticky I had to drop the dough by teaspoons onto the cookie sheet. I put the dough in the freezer as suggested by another reviewer but that didn't help. They tasted good but certainly didn't have the presentation like the picture.

Caramel Apple Pork Chops

Reviewed on Nov. 9, 2009 by Doolittle 
I marinated the pork chops in applejuice/soy and wow they were really juicy and tender. I will definitely do that again. This recipe is really good but no one cared for the apples. I guess we see apples as a dessert and not part of a main course. Will definitely make this again but just without the apples or brush the apples off after they bake. Thanks for the new way to make pork chops!

Marshmallow Treats

Reviewed on Nov. 9, 2009 by Rachael 
My treats turned out moist, and gooey. Just like they should. No teeth busters here. I did follow the suggestions in some of the other reviews. And used 11.5 cups of cereal to a 16 ounce bag of marshmallow, and a whole stick of butter. This worked out so well. Everyone has loved them. Will make again and again.
