Nevada

The vertical line that forms Nevada’s border with California turns east at Lake Tahoe and runs on a long diagonal for 400 miles down to the northwest corner of Arizona, giving Nevada the vague appearance of a cartoon quote box. The Silver State is perhaps one of the more unlikely places to find some of the swankiest restaurants in the world. After all, Nevada (also called the Sagebrush State) is mostly desert. Early Native inhabitants survived on diets of little more than grasshoppers, berries, pine nuts, seeds, roots, and desert rodents. When the Comstock Lode was discovered in 1859, early prospectors made due with little more than sourdough biscuits. Las Vegas and jet airplanes changed things. Today, some of the world’s most famous chefs have opened restaurants in Vegas, flying in whatever exotic ingredients their extravagant menus require. Quite a change from the dirt-cheap “all you can eat” buffets that once lured hungry gamblers to the city. Well before Vegas rose out of the desert, a large Basque population settled in Nevada to graze sheep. Their culinary influence can still be experienced in the hearty, family-style restaurants in some Nevada towns.

Homemade Spaghetti Sauce

Reviewed on Sep. 5, 2008 by Jamie
People are correct as to the water volume,thats a ridiculous amount. I used Tomatoes from our garden and about 4 cups of H2O with 3 cans of Tom. paste. It came out perfect. I added some other goodies from the garden as well. It was straight up Vege Sauce...

Hamburger Rice Soup

Reviewed on Sep. 5, 2008 by Rosa G
This was really good soup, I did make it more to my family's taste by adding a bit of salsa to the broth, and added half water and half beef broth. The meat I used was the hamburger patties I had left over from a BBQ. I omitted the potatoes since I don't like too many starchy food in my dish and I thought the rice was enough. I have a interesting tip on how to measure the rice according to the # of folks you'll be serving: "a fist full of rice per person" don't try to grab too much rice only what a comfortable grip can give you unless you like a lot of rice. I will make again--- a great comfort food.

Grilled Sausage with Potatoes and Green Beans

Reviewed on Sep. 4, 2008 by Lindsay
This was a decent recipe. My potatoes were a little mushy, but otherwise it was a huge hit with the family. I would make it again, but next time I might make some a adjustments like other people did. Thanks for the recipe.
