AuGratin
Potatoes
Here’s a recipe that was handed down to my mother by
our close friends from Bagley, Minnesota, circa 1960. It hasn’t changed
much in all those years, except that I’ve swapped American and cheddar
for Velveeta cheese in the original. It is extremely simple and works
equally well as an accompaniment for your favorite fish dinner while
vacationing in Minnesota, a last minute buffet item at a picnic or for a
formal dinner at home. I still make it every year when I return to the
“North Country” for my annual fishing trips and I still love it.
Rice & Black Beans
This is a fast and easy recipe that is easily modified to accommodate
various flavors and spices. Try adding some bacon or instead of
the oregano, use some Spanish spices and serve with
Margarita pike!
Wild Rice with Shitake
Mushrooms This side dish lends a Northwood flavor to any fresh
water fish and is one of our favorites. Try it with salmon, trout,
bass, northern---the possibilities are endless.
