Indiana

Situated between Illinois and Ohio and just below Michigan, the Hoosier State occupies the center of the Midwest. Incidentally, the original meaning of Hoosier is no great compliment: it means an ungainly, awkward yokel. But Indianans have unabashedly embraced the name. Hoosier is also the team name of Indiana University in Bloomington. A few Indiana culinary traditions include Persimmon pudding, Indiana chile (with beef and beans), and popcorn. About half of Indiana’s farmland is planted in corn, and Hoosiers have been popping kernels since Native Americans first taught them the trick. The Indianapolis 500, held every year over Memorial Day weekend, is one of America’s premiere tailgating events. Pre-race, fans can fuel up at Breakfast at the Brickyard and the annual Champions Pasta Dinner. And the winning driver of the Indy 500 traditionally hoists a big glass bottle of cold milk in the winner’s circle.

About me:
I am a mother of 3 all under 5. I have very little time for myself and stay very busy. If they gave out gold medals for organization... I would NOT get one. I would love to get more organized, not only in the kitchen but the whole house and start trying new recipes. I am looking on here to help with that.

Korean Bean Curd (Miso) Soup

Reviewed on Aug. 19, 2008 by newmommy

I loved this soup, it reminds me of the Korean restaurants I get it from and that is comforting because I grew up eating Korean food. I did not use dashi granules, but I did use half chicken broth and half water as my liquid and then added my korean bean paste and hot pepper paste. It tasted perfect! I also like my tofu extra firm so I used that. yum yum!

Mom's Zucchini Bread

Reviewed on Aug. 19, 2008 by newmommy

This is the best zucchini bread I have ever had. I made mini loaves which cut my baking time down a bit and I went with a previous reviewer mixed brown sugar and a tad bit of water to make a glaze and brushed it on top of the warm bread. When it cools the glaze makes a delicious crunchy sweet topping, yum yum yum!!!
