Washington, DC

Washington D.C.’s status as the nation’s capital is largely due to a dinner hosted at the home of Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson met with James Madison and Alexander Hamilton to negotiate the relocation of the Capitol from New York City. Originally chosen by George Washington for both its natural beauty and the navigability of the Potomac River, the District is bordered by Maryland and Virginia. The influence held in the District of Columbia over the nation’s eating and drinking habits is literally immeasurable. The Food and Drug Administration regulates food products across the United States, assuring food safety through the enforcement of guidelines. Due to its cosmopolitan nature and being host to a number of foreign embassies, Washington D.C. is awash in restaurants featuring cuisines from around the world.

Spanish Chicken and Rice

Reviewed on Nov. 12, 2009 by Chelle

I made this for dinner tonight and it was delicious! The chicken was a little bland by itself but when taken with mouthfuls of the rice, it was perfect! The rice is something I would prepare even if I didn't make the chicken! I loved the ease of the preparation and enjoyed every bite. I cannot wait for leftovers tomorrow!

Traditional Salisbury Steak

Reviewed on Nov. 11, 2009 by SMILINGCOOK

This was an awesome basic recipe! I followed advise of other reviewers and omitted the ketchup. When it came to the gravy, I made more than the recipe called for, definitely would not have been enough. For the gravy I replaced the bullion with canned beef aus jus, this worked out perfectly. Also, I added minced onions and another splash of worcestershire to the beef mixture, this gave texture and a nice flavor to the meat. Thanks for the recipe will definitely make again!

Eggless Peanut Butter Cookies

Reviewed on Nov. 9, 2009 by CapitolCowgirl

YUMMY! These turned out really well! I even added chocolate chips. I was having a major pb/choc craving and was out of eggs so I made this. Try it! You won't be dissappointed!
