Before even opening the book. I was impressed by how pretty the book is. It is definitely a book that makes me happy to walk by and see! But I also liked the recipes, which sound delicious and yet also practical. I hope to eventually try many of the recipes, but I started with the biscuits, because I have tried baking biscuits so many times in the past but always failed. I honestly expected to fail again, but they actually turned out awesome!

Being successful at baking homemade biscuits after seriously years of trying and failing makes me even more excited to keep trying the recipes in this book, and I'll try to update with more pics once I do!


Where to Buy The Prairie Kitchen Cookbook

Update: I tried a few more recipes from the book and they were delicious too! I made the Cranberry, Walnut, and Goat Cheese Salad with Sweet Cream Dressing, and the Pesto Chicken Panini with Chipotle Mayo:

Little Chicago Deli is coming back to Sioux City!

Sioux City's newest eatery isn't actually new--it's just the newest iteration of a classic! Little Chicago Deli is opening in a new location just a couple doors down from the original restaurant, and they're opening on Friday May 31, 2024, for pickup orders and delivery, with the dining lobby opening later in summer 2024. Here's the info we have so far on Sioux City's new Little Chicago Deli: History of Little Chicago Deli Little Chicago Deli has been around Sioux City since 1988 as a locally owned sandwich shop, but unfortunately the previous location closed in 2017. Prior to that, I remember going there in college while I was doing an internship downtown, and I was sad to hear the original closed. But new owners, including some staff from the old Little Chicago Deli, are bringing it back in 2024! The name pays homage to local legends about Sioux City during Prohibition.
