December Update...

Hi guys! Sorry for being a few days late, things have been extra busy around here with the holidays and I have not had time to post the Afghanistan round-up yet.

Hopefully I will get posted sometime next week, I can't wait to see all of the Afghan recipes!

Our December destination is Germany so go ahead and leave me a comment on this post with a link to your German dish. What a perfect choice for this time of the year! I doubt I will get the Germany round-up posted on January 1st because of the holidays, so we might be delayed again by a few days.

I hope you all can understand and that you are having a wonderful holiday season :) And if you've missed a month or two don't worry, just jump back in whenever you have time!

Happy holidays,
Andrea

As usual, please prepare a Japanese dish, post about it on your blog with a link back to MKMW, and leave a comment on this post with a link to your MKMW Japan entry so I can find it to do our round-up. Please post and comment by the end of the month -- October 31st


Afghanistan was suggested by Torview Toronto and seconded by Searching for Spice, so that will be our November destination.

Germany was suggested by Lexi at Big Momma and Me, and that will be our December destination.

I hope everyone enjoyed the round-up and is excited for our next few destinations, I know I am :)

Hello MKMW friends! Welcome to the USA Round-up, so nice to see new faces and old friends on this culinary journey...



Our first dish comes from a new friend, two new friends actually, the duo of Carla and Michael at Recipe Addict, they made Hoppin' John, a traditional dish of the southern states. It looks great, guys! Welcome to My Kitchen My World :)
~~~


Next on our culinary tour of the United States we have long time MKMW traveler Joanna at In Search of Lost Time, she made Kielbasa, Corn, and Shrimp Chowder. Chowders are very popular soups along America's northeastern coastal states, doesn't this soup look so creamy and comforting?

~~~



Looks like we can count on new traveler Chaya at Chaya's Comfy Cook Blog to bring dessert! She made these amazing looking Flourless Brownies, yum :) Welcome, Chaya!

~~~



Jill at Jill's Blog is back for a second trip with MKMW, this time bringing Peanut Butter Cookies -- an all American classic that she made even more memorable with the addition of one of America's favorite candies, M&Ms, don't those cookies look delicious?


~~~



Welcome to our 3rd new traveler this month, Torview Toronto, who made a delicious looking bread pudding with cinnamon and raisins -- that also can be served as breakfast or a snack, sounds great.
~~~



Our 4th new traveler this month is Lexi at Big Momma and Me, welcome to the group! She made one my family's favorite American treats, banana bread, it looks so good with the melting butter, wish I had some bananas to use up right now :)


~~~



Next up we have a hearty main dish, Perfect Pot Roast, which my husband would be drooling over since that's one of his favorite dinners! This delicious dish was made by our 5th new traveler this month (I think that's a record!), Peggy at Pantry Revisited. I know Peggy from TWD and am so glad she has decided to cook along with us at MKMW. Welcome to the group, Peggy :)

~~~


Margaret at Tea and Scones went with Native American cuisine and made a delicious meal ofCorn Chowder, Fried Squash Bread, Fry Bread, and TWO desserts -- Cheyenne Berry Pudding and a Chippawa fried cake wow Margaret, what an amazing feast! Everything looks wonderful.

~~~



Leslie at Lethally Delicious made an amazing salad with grilled salmon, and fresh vegetables all native foods to the USA. What a beautiful meal.

~~~


Kayte at Grandma's Kitchen Table made a tempting wild rice dish with mushrooms, caramelized onions, and dried cranberries, she likes to serve this at Thanksgiving, which I'm sure it is a perfect side :)

~~~

~~~


Thank you to everyone who participated with MKMW -- USA! What a great variety of dishes from all across the USA and spanning different time periods. If I've missed anyone it is totally unintentional, please let me know and I will add you to the round-up asap :)


And now for the moment you've all been waiting for...our August destination...

Canada!

There were two suggestions for Canada in last month's comments, so Canada it is! MKMW has never visited Canada so this should be lots of fun. There are many regional dishes and Canadian recipes available online, I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with. Please post your Canadian dishes in your blog and leave a link to your post in the comment section of this post by August 31st.

Any MKMW member with a country suggestion for the month of September is welcome to e-mail me or leave their country suggestion in a comment on this post. Where would you like to visit next?

Take care,
