Wisconsin

The Badger State lies firmly in the Midwest, located above Illinois and bordered on by Lakes Michigan and Superior, with Minnesota its neighbor to the west. The name Wisconsin most likely comes from a Native American word for a river, which was translated into French as “Ouisconsin,” before being rendered into English as “Wisconsin.” Oui? Oui. Wisconsin is known as America’s Dairyland, producing more cheese than any other state. Cheese curds are a popular Wisconsin treat. They are eaten plain, with cocktail sauce, or battered or breaded and deep-fried. In Milwaukee in the summertime, look out for frozen custard stands, as well as food-centered festivals that celebrate Wisconsin’s many thriving ethnic communities. Southern Wisconsin, meanwhile, is well known for its festive Friday night fish fries. The wild rice that grows along the shores of northern Wisconsin is used in casseroles and soups. In Wisconsin, German and Polish immigrants turned their knack for knackwurst and other German-style sausages into a serious industry. Likewise, Germans and Czechs brought beer-making knowledge from the old country, thus creating a perfect pairing of suds and sausage.

Panzanella Salad

Reviewed on Aug. 27, 2008 by cooks4forty
This was the best thing I have had on my plate in a long time - and that is saying something! I see many people have changed the recipe, but I made it as is and I don;t think I'll be changing it! In-season tomatoes make it. I love tomatoes fresh by themselves and don't think they need anything but salt, but this compliments their freshness! If you are growing tomatoes and basil, this is the recipe for you!

Banana Coconut Loaf

Reviewed on Aug. 27, 2008 by naples34102
This is just delightful! I didn't change a thing, only using pecans instead of walnuts, and I'm so glad I made the recipe as is, ignoring other suggestions and substitutions by other reviewers. This is just delicious, prettily specked with the red cherries and brown nuts and flecked with the coconut. So different from the same ol' banana bread and a nice change. It's moist and flavorful, with a real comfort food quality about it. Set your timer at less than the full hour--my loaf was done at 50 minutes. You can always add more time, but you can't undo it!

Mom's Coleslaw

Reviewed on Aug. 27, 2008 by FOODWIZ
It was really good, but I think lacking some spice. I added some ground black pepper (a LOT) and celery salt, along with a little dash of paprika on top. It made it taste much better. Overall, great base recipe to tweak just how you like it. Thanks!
