Saint Paul, Minnesota

If you think of “Prairie Home Companion,” Jell-O salad, and hot dish when you think of Minnesota cuisine, you’re way off the mark—at least in the Twin Cities. Minneapolis and St. Paul are part of a vibrant Midwest dining scene that’s second only to Chicago. Although the region was settled by Scandinavians drawn to the timber and flour mills, you’ll be hard-pressed to find Norwegian or Swedish restaurants these days now that Marcus Samuelsson’s Aquavit has closed. New immigrants, from Somalia, Laos, and Mexico have changed the local culinary landscape. Minneapolis is the younger, hipper sibling, with cutting-edge restaurants and architecture (check out the new Guthrie Theater overlooking the Mississippi). St. Paul, the state capitol, is the clean-cut traditionalist; famous Summit Avenue residents included F. Scott Fitzgerald and timber magnate Frederick Weyerhaeuser.

Slow Cooker Chicken and Dumplings

Reviewed on Oct. 13, 2008 by Lori VE
Good comfort food for a cold day! Easy to modify for your particular taste. I added some poultry seasoning & vegies(carrot, potato, celery and peas)to mine. I also substituted chicken broth for the water as recommended by other reviewers. One can of biscuit dough was plenty, but definitely needs about 90 min after adding them to fully cook.

Overnight Coffee Cake

Reviewed on Oct. 7, 2008 by Emma Lo
This was pretty darn good. I took it to a study a group, and it disappeared. The only I would say needed improvement was the fact that it came out a little dry. However, I think it was because I didn't have any buttermilk, and instead I used soymilk with lemon juice. Next time, I'll see if I can get some real buttermilk. I'm sure it will be fantastic!

Shrimp Scampi Bake

Reviewed on Oct. 2, 2008 by MICHELECOOKWRITE
I love butter, I love shrimp, and normally I love shrimp scampi. I really enjoy rich food but this literally made me sick. I appreciated the easy preparation, but I would try this with half the butter and a little more lemon. We did bake this for about 1/2 the time recommended so the shrimp wouldn't be rubbery, and we doubled the garlic. I would give this one star but a friend who dined with us liked it.
