SAMPLE RECIPES FROM RECIPES ACROSS AMERICA: 
 COLORADO LAMB CHILI
Colorado sheep ranchers raise a great supply of lamb. In this recipe, I take our homegrown product and add a dash of Tex-Mex flair.

PREP: 20 min.
COOK: 1 1/2 hours
YIELDS: 6 servings(2 1/4 quarts)
 
INGREDIENTS:
  • 1 pound lamb stew meat, cut into 1-inch pieces 
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil, divided
  • 1 large onion, chopped 
  • 1 large sweet yellow pepper, chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 can (30 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained

3. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 1¼ to 1½ hours or until lamb is tender. Garnish each serving with green onions, tomatoes and corn chips if desired.
 BAKED BLUEBERRY AND PEACH OATMEAL
Baked oatmeal is a staple in our home. It’s very easy to prepare the night before; just keep the dry and wet ingredients separate until ready to bake. I’ve tried a variety of fruits in this dish, but the blueberry and peach combination is our favorite.
-- Rosemarie Weleski, Natrona Heights, Pennsylvania

Prep: 20 min.
Bake: 35 min.
Makes: 9 servings
INGREDIENTS:
  • 3 cups old-fashioned oats
  • ½ cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1 egg
  • 1¼ cups fat-free milk
  • ¼ cup canola oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 can (15 ounces) sliced peaches in juice, drained and chopped
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • ⅓ cup chopped walnuts
  • Additional fat-free milk, optional 
DIRECTIONS: 
1. In a large bowl, combine the oats, brown sugar, baking powder and salt. Whisk the egg whites, egg, milk, oil and vanilla; add to dry ingredients and stir until blended. Let stand for 5 minutes. Stir in peaches and blueberries.

2. Transfer to an 11x7-in. baking dish coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle with the walnuts. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until top is lightly browned and a thermometer reads 160°. Serve oatmeal with additional milk if desired.
MY THOUGHTS/REVIEW:
RECIPES ACROSS AMERICA: 735 of the Best Recipes from Across the Nation is a fabulous cookbook! While it has all the normal ingredients one would need and want in a cookbook, it also reads much like a tour guide as it takes you across the country with food traditions and recipes. It is very sturdy and well made with a hard-cover that will endure being used around the kitchen. It also stays open easily which is always a problem when one is cooking and the page turns or book shuts. Each of the yummy recipes has a color photograph so at least I can hope mine might come out to look something like that. I can cook but am no chef so it was nice that the ingredients are the kind I was able to find in my local grocery store and that the recipes don’t talk down to you, and are easily able to follow.

“Dishing About Food” is a short highlight on every page where small bits of wisdom about the food and/or area of the country is discussed. As you look through the book, you will feel like you are taking a road trip across our great country and learning about areas through their food. With facts as well as legends surrounding the different foods, one can easily see the story of our country and how this melting pot we live in called the United States of America is one delicious place to live…and to cook!
