New Jersey

One of the original Thirteen Colonies, the Garden State is called the “Crossroads of the Revolution” because British and Continental Armies frequently criss-crossed it during the American Revolution. On Christmas morning, 1776, George Washington famously crossed the Delaware River into New Jersey, defeating first the Hessians and then the British. New Jersey remains a crossroads today; it’s part of the Northeast megalopolis, a densely populated corridor that connects suburbs from Washington, D.C. all the way north to Boston. Cranberry sauce, saltwater taffy, and the ice cream cone are New Jersey creations. Jersey is also the diner capital of the world and a major producer of tomatoes, sweet corn, cranberries, peaches, and blueberries. Camden, New Jersey, is the home of Campbell’s Soup Company, which has been in operation since shortly after the American Civil War. By the middle of the 20th century, Campbell’s would have a big impact on the way Americans cooked and ate, once cooks began incorporating condensed soups into dishes like casseroles. New Jersey remains a major player in food processing, including canning and freezing food.

Penne with Chicken and Pesto

Reviewed on Sep. 4, 2008 by Truffles
I followed the recipe exactly as it was stated and it was very good. Next time I plan on using half and half to make it a little healther. I may also toss in some red pepper flakes and roasted red peppers for some color.

Pizza Dough I

Reviewed on Sep. 4, 2008 by jvfalcon
Quick & easy! Followed as written and tasted good. Next time will try adding some seasonings. This was my first time making any kind of dough from scratch and it's a good recipe to start with.

Brown Sugar Meatloaf

Reviewed on Sep. 4, 2008 by NJtoAL
In the past most meatloafs taste like hamburgers but in a different shape. This one is better. I used 1/4 br. sugar, 1/4 milk, 1 egg, added 1 garlic clove and 1 TBL worchester sauce. I replaced the cracker crumbs with seasoned bread crumbs and did not have ginger to use. The most helpful review was putting a slice of bread on the bottom to soak up the grease. I used 2 endpieces which also was helpful when it was overcooked so that they almost burned instead of my meatloaf. I put 1/2 the meat mixture on top of the bread, then 1/2 the brown sugar mixture in a middle layer, next the rest of the meat and then the rest of the sauce on the top. I cut slits into the meat for the top sauce to sink in a bit. Cut back on the sugar in the original recipe and you'll really enjoy this meatloaf with minor changes of ingredient amounts.
