Boston, Massachusetts

Oliver Wendell Holmes may have simply meant that Boston’s State House was “the hub of the solar system.” But locals quickly deemed the whole city worthy of such praise, and Boston itself became known as “the Hub.” (Later, Bostonians would expand this modest conceit to encompass the entire universe). For certain, Boston was the home of some of America’s most important nation-building moments: the Boston Tea Party, the start of Paul Revere’s ride, the Battle of Bunker Hill. At one time, Boston was a major player in turning Caribbean molasses into rum -- molasses also being the secret ingredient in Boston baked beans and Boston brown bread. Today, Boston is a hub of both fine and causal dining. The North End continues to show off its Italian heritage. And the South End is rapidly becoming the best place in town for enjoying trendy cuisines. If you’re looking for coffee and a donut to get you going in the morning, you shouldn’t need to walk further than the nearest corner to find a Dunkin’ Donuts.

Peaches and Cream Pops

Reviewed on Oct. 10, 2008 by LOVE2COOK12
My niece loved these! I added blueberries I wanted to puree the blueberries into the pops but...... We put them into Icecube trays and they turned out perfectly although the peaches were a little tart we drizzled honey on them when we served them! YUM

Cut-Out Cookies in a Flower Pot

Reviewed on Oct. 10, 2008 by MILKLISSA79
These are awesome and I'm not a big lover of butter/sugar cookies. It was my first time making cut-out cookies so if it's your first time make sure that you roll out your dough think enough otherwise the cookies will be so tough. I'd say go between a 1/4 inch and 1/2 inch. Make sure you don't overcook them. Bake them 10 minutes at most. They will not crumble even if they look a little light. These cookies stand up to the toughest little cook's hands and taste great with almond extract instead of butter extract. The recipe is a bit confusing as it calls for butter then talks about margarine. I used all butter and iced them with royal icing. These will definitely be my go to cut- out cookie.

Slow Cooker Chicken Taco Soup

Reviewed on Oct. 9, 2008 by prell2k4
Wow, this is super good. I did follow the suggestion of one reviewer and made my taco seasoning, here is what I did. 1 tablespoon chili powder 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder 1/4 teaspoon onion powder 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano 1/2 teaspoon paprika 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin 1 teaspoon sea salt 1 teaspoon black pepper. I added cheese but did not do the tortilla chips, who needs to mess with perfection.
