Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

This sprawling city is the capital of Oklahoma. Oil derricks on the lawn of the State Capitol testify to Oklahoma’s past as a big-time oil state. Today, the city is a crossroads of commerce where Interstates 35 and 40 intersect. “America’s Main Street,” Route 66, also angles through town. For weary travelers converging on the town, “Oklahoma City looks oh-so pretty.” Locals and passers-by alike are drawn to the Bricktown section of OKC, where they can fuel up at any number of restaurants, and afterwards stretch their legs with a stroll along the river walk. A large Vietnamese population makes Oklahoma City a hot place for Banh Mi sandwiches or a steaming bowl of pho. Oklahoma’s cowboy past is celebrated at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum and at Stockyards City, founded in 1910, and billed as “the best of the West and a whole lot more” -- grab a big juicy steak at Cattlemen’s Restaurant and a cool pair of kickers at Langston’s!

This makes for the tastiest chops! I only added a squirt of orange just before serving. Yummy!

Cabbage Fat-Burning Soup

Reviewed on jul. 2, 2009 by heavensshadow 
I liked this soup a lot, and it didn't leave me feeling hungry. I split this recipe and made it for six servings instead of 15. I only used half a head of cabbage and added extra veggies, including chopped tomatoes, a can of garbanzo beans for protein, extra carrots and peppers and the whole can of green beans. I used half water/ half chicken broth for the liquid to add flavor. I also seasoned with plenty of cracked pepper and garlic powder and it added a nice taste to the broth as well. I didn't have any onion soup mix, so I added a beef boullion cube and minced dried onions as a replacement. In a couple of servings I've heated through with a polish sausage added in, and it makes a very nice addition to the soup. I will make this again!

Bill Clinton's Lemon Chess Pie

Reviewed on jun. 30, 2009 by P.Smith 
I love anything with lemon in it, and this recipe has all the lemon flavor and taste you could ask for. I followed the recipe to a tee the first time, but found it way too sweet, to me. I made it again and cut the sugar in half and it was perfect. It has just the right balance of tart and sweet with a custard-like texture. 5 stars and highly recommended!
