Saint Louis / Los Angeles

When the St. Louis Rams come to town, there are many delicious recipes to choose from. We chose to make the Gerber Sandwich. I had never heard of this open-faced gem before researching dishes from this city. This recipe calls for Provel Cheese, which is indigenous to this region. I could not find any in Florida, so I did my best impression with this recipe.

Top French bread with the following:

Garlic Butter
Ham
Provel
Paprika
Bake for 15 minutes at 350.

After that cardiac-inducing sandwich, we needed a vegetable-based side item. My favorite soda, Dr. Pepper, was introduced and found fame at the 1904 World's Fair in St. Louis. We opted to try this Acorn Squash stuffed with Prunes and Dr. Pepper.

This day will also go down in history as "My First Squash Cooking Experience of Ever."

We washed it all down with a requisite Bud Light.

Here are some more great recipes from the Show-Me State. Enjoy them the next time you are hosting a party!
