One simple way I see of doing this to offset the voltage is by using a voltage divider to great a "fake" ground for the LM34. If you set this fake ground to +1VDC in refference to your pic's ground that will shift the output of the lm34 up 1000mv. The new range would be +500mv for -50*F and +4000mv for 300*F. Then in PBP remember to offset this value for the correct temp.
