The new issue of Midwest Living has a few gems inside. Sure, the Midwest loves meat, but we midwesterners also love our home-grown produce and lots of flavor.
A harbinger of spring here in Iowa is, undoubtedly, the appearance of rhubarb stalks in backyard gardens. Midwest Living apparently agrees. Check out the Rhubarb Crunch, which is entirely vegan since we all know that "butter" actually means "Earth Balance."
In a more savory mood? Then look for the Italian Rice Salad, featuring a garlic vinaigrette plus sweet peppers and artichoke hearts. This recipe comes from Bev Shaffer, a natural-food store cooking teacher in Ohio, according to the magazine.
The issue also features colorful decorating ideas and cool Midwestern trips, so check it out. And be patient--spring really will be here soon and we can all start eating local again.
