Wyoming

The word Wyoming means “land of vast plains” in the Algonquin language. Wyoming marks the place where these plains run up against rugged mountain ranges. For centuries, Wyoming’s high plains were the roaming grounds for the tremendous herds of American bison and for the Shoshone, Crow, Sioux, Cheyenne, and Arapaho nations. At the turn of the 20th century, as American bison faced near extinction on the Great Plains, Wyoming took action to preserve the few dozen that remained, setting up a refuge for them at Yellowstone National Park. Bison remain at Yellowstone today, thus making Wyoming the only state where bison have been a constant presence from pre-Columbian times up to the present. Today, Wyoming’s rangelands are populated by pronghorn antelope, deer, cattle, and sheep, and the landscape is dotted with farming and ranching communities. Even today, Wyoming, the Cowboy State, evokes a frontier feeling. Wyoming is also called the Equality State because the territory granted women the right to vote in 1869 -- compared to 1920 for the rest of the United States. In 1924, Wyoming elected the United State’s first woman governor, Nellie Tayloe Ross.

Balsamic-Glazed Salmon Fillets

Reviewed on jul. 2, 2009 by Lil' Chef 
We decided to grill this, and just continuously baste the salmon while grilling. It could have been marinated for a bit, but it was just fine without it. The taste of the salmon still came through and was not overpowered by the glaze. Very good!!!

PHILLY Chicken Alfredo Pesto Pasta

Reviewed on jul. 2, 2009 by CHARLOTTE  
This was very good but it could use a little more seasoning. I used half butter and half olive oil to cook the chicken and I seasoned the chicken with chicken fajita seasoning. I used one cup fat free half and half and one cup 2% milk. I didn't have any Parmesan cheese but I had a three cheese blend that has Parmesan, Romano and Asiago in it. I added a dash of garlic powder but I forgot to add salt and pepper and I think that that made the difference. I will most definitely be making this again. I served it with homemade whole wheat spaghetti.

Zucchini Pie

Reviewed on jul. 1, 2009 by cookingteacher 
My mom made this recipe for years with zucchini from her garden. She added 1 T. of yellow mustard on the top of the cresents and 1 t. italian seasoning to the eggs before baking. It gives it a little zip. Yummy!
