  1. Very good. I toasted the buns, added a pinch or two of dried red chili (Southern California Palate!) and a splash of sherry. Wine brightens the taste. Served it with fat free potato chips and a green salad. Great light din din.
     
  2. These were very good. I served them with swiss cheese and the guys loved them - DH ate four of them! Great flavor.
     
  3. I love Maidrites! We have a Maidrite place up in Northern Mn by Gull Lake. I always get mine with cheese. This recipe is also good on top of mashed potatoes. Yum. Thanks for posting!
     
  4. Whatever these are supposed to taste like, I don't know because I'm not from Iowa. What I do know is THEY ARE FANTASTIC! Fantastic and simple. My husband loves them; they are great for football season. For what it's worth, I originally made these for an Iowa Primary Watch Party all the way in FL. :] Thanks!
     
  5. I have made these many times and they are wonderful! My FIL especially likes these and requests them. We melt a slice os Swiss on them and serve with pickles. Thanks for sharing a great recipe!

Its where I spend most of my time when I'm on Zaar, but you find me just about anywhere in the late night hours. <br /><br />My Zaar Sister Shirl(J)831 and I have met and she always welcomes me into her home. She is truly my dearest friend and kindred sister. Alot of people on Zaar think we are actually sisters and I take that as a compliment. She lives down South and that happens to be one of my favorite areas.</p>
