Oregon

Oregon lies at the heart of the Pacific Northwest. The Beaver State has a long coastline along the Pacific Ocean; the Columbia River forms three-quarters of Oregon’s northern border with Washington, and California and Nevada border Oregon to the south. In November, 1805, Lewis and Clark reached the Pacific Ocean, having followed the Columbia River to where it empties into the ocean near modern-day Astoria, Oregon. Upon seeing the Pacific, Clark wrote in his journal, “O! The Joy!” For certain, Oregon has physical beauty to spare, from the coastal shores to the towering Cascade Range to the pastel desert of Hell’s Canyon in the Northeast. The Beaver State is also a bountiful place, with crab, salmon, fresh fruit (berries, pears, plums, and cherries), local wines, hazelnuts, and foraged mushrooms making up the short list of important foods. For Oregonians, eating local is easy…and delicious. It’s no surprise that Portland, Oregon, is a major force in advancing West Coast cuisine, with its emphasis on fresh, local, organic, and sustainable foods.

Chinese Sesame Noodle Salad

Reviewed on Aug. 26, 2008 by ANNE49R
Excellent! I made for friends that were visiting from Canada and they had to make sure they went home with the recipe. The only thing I did differently was to blanch the red pepper with the broccoli. My grown children LOVE it. Thank you!

Blackened Green Beans

Reviewed on Aug. 26, 2008 by Shelby
I grew up eating this in the summer. It's so fun to sit out on the porch snapping beans. Anyway, you don't have to measure with this-just add to your liking. It's trial and error to figure out how much your family will like but you really can't go wrong with these ingredients. We never make that many beans but just a good sized pot with a whole onion, a couple garlic cloves and about 1/2 pack of sliced bacon and lots of s&p. Even if you forget the garlic it's always a great summer dish! (You may find yourself eating it out of the pot when finished.)

Jo Jo's Favorite Banana Muffins

Reviewed on Aug. 26, 2008 by Jenny & Josh M.
This was a great recipe, but I did make some changes to it. I used this fresh ground whole wheat flour that I have available at a local market. I also used a lot more bananas. I ended up using 6 large ripe bananas. I also baked them for only 20 min. Overall the recipe was great!
