Cincinnati, Ohio

Called the “Queen City of the West,’ Cincinnati sits along the Ohio River, nestled into low rolling hills. Long an important river port town, Cincinnati was settled largely by Germans, and by the mid-1800s, was known as “Porkopolis” because of its importance as a meat-packing place. Cincinnati’s German heritage remains on display in the food-friendly festivals (Over-the-Rhine) and beer gardens (Mecklenburg Gardens). Cincinnati marks the unofficial crossing point between the South and Midwest. Modern residents of Cincinnati can boast of a trademark dish: Cincinnati Chili. It comes any of "five ways": as a straight-up bowl of chili, served over spaghetti, and topped with beans, cheese and/or onions. It is thought to have been the invention of Greek or Bulgarian immigrants to Cincinnati.

Black Bean Soft Tacos

Reviewed on Sep. 3, 2008 by cookin'mama
This is a very easy and delicious recipe. I made them one day ahead of serving them for the flavors to blend and served them on homemade tortillas. The Cafe Rio sauce that I made for the sweet pork tacos I also served worked well here, too. Even your most ardent carnivore won't miss the meat!

I tried this recipe originally because I'm allergic to bananas and this one doesn't have any. Now I keep using it because it's GOOD!

Roasted Vegetable Orzo

Reviewed on Sep. 2, 2008 by jenonymous
I tried this because someone gave me zucchini, and because I like fresh asparagus, and because I'm always trying to find ways to get my picky kids to eat more vegetables. I made it as an entree, so they HAD to eat it or fend for themselves. They were all very surprised, and this recipe has become a staple in our menu rotations. We often add grilled chicken breasts, either sliced and mixed in or whole on a bed of orzo and drizzled with chicken gravy.
