Phoenix, Arizona

Rising from the dry Salt River Valley to become the fifth largest US city and capital of Arizona, Phoenix lives up to its namesake, the mythical bird revived by fire. Established in the late 1880s as a farming community, today’s Phoenix spans 500 square miles. The city’s food traditions reflect its Mexican and Spanish legacy, Western frontier history, and diverse population. La Hacienda is considered one of the finest Mexican restaurants in town, while the Handlebar J Saloon serves up live country music with steaks. Fine restaurants come with patios for enjoying vivid sunsets, and are often associated with hotels and resorts. Kai, nationally acclaimed for Native American cuisine with global accents, is located at Wild Horse Pass Resort. Flamma Trattoria, a cousin of NYC-based Flamma Osteria, serves Italian fare in a sophisticated setting. Eggs Benedict and blueberry pancakes are available all day at the popular Breakfast Club in Scottsdale, while recent Asian immigrants have introduced Chinese, Thai, and Indonesian menus.

Pesto Cream Sauce

Reviewed on Nov. 5, 2009 by Tinkerfaire

This is the absolute best pesto cream sauce recipe. I have tried a few on this site and this is by far the best. The only change I made was I cut the butter down and scaled it to 4 servings instead of 8. If I could give this 10 stars I would. It has all the flavor and so creamy. My family devored this meal. There were no leftovers to my dissapointment :( The recipe needs no change at all. In my opinion you dont need to waste your time finding a better pesto cream sauce. I am sure this would go great with other meats such as chicken or crab as well. Thanks so much for an absolute fab recipe!

Creamy Pesto Shrimp

Reviewed on Nov. 5, 2009 by Tinkerfaire

I have noticed with this recipe that everyone seemed to change it. The added this or did that, then rated it at 5 stars. While it is a good recipe it lacks flavor which is a common compliant with most reviewers. It is also kinda oily so I suggest cutting the butter and simmering longer. Even then it was oily. Overall it was ok I found another recipe called Pesto cream sauce which has all the ingredients already added by other reviewers from this recipe. It has the onions, garlic and spices and it a fab 5 star recipe

Corn Dogs

Reviewed on Nov. 6, 2009 by VirginiaJ

I haven't had a corn dog in years but had a crazy craving for them. Since it's just me I quartered the recipe. I also wasn't about to heat up a whole pan of oil just to cook four corn dogs so I experimented and they came out well! Used a cast iron pan heated up very hot, laid the coated hot dogs down and gently rolled them as soon as the part touching the pan set up, cooked them til crisp on all sides and served with mustard, SO Yummy! Next time I will probably finish them off in the oven for about 15 minutes after crisping in the cast iron because the corn meal hadn't softened quite enough But they were still very tasty and very easy. Thanks for the batter recipe!
