Alabama

The Yellowhammer State is a Deep South state situated along the Gulf of Mexico between Mississippi and Georgia. It is sometimes called “the Heart of Dixie.” The stars of Southern cooking shine on Alabama. Ribs, sweet potato pie, fried chicken, fried green tomatoes, catfish, hush puppies, sweet tea, fried pies, pralines, oysters, shrimp, and chicken and dumplings are just a sampling of the down-home cooking you’ll find in the Heart of Dixie. The pecan is the official nut of Alabama. The blackberry is the official fruit, but the peach also receives recognition as the official “tree fruit.” Honey is a big product. Alabama ranks second in the nation in farmed catfish production. But the largemouth bass is the state’s official fresh-water fish.

Avgolemono

Reviewed on Aug. 27, 2008 by NJtoAL
I'm Greek and I loved it! My husband thought it was his mom's recipe or from one of my many Greek cookbooks. This is the easiest recipe for Greek soup I know. I haven't tried the other two recipes on the site for Avgolemono and won't be because I thought this recipe was very good.

Baked Pork Chops II

Reviewed on Aug. 26, 2008 by NJtoAL
I followed this to a T. I wasn't big on the final flavor. Too peppery, couldn't taste the brown sugar. I will try other pork chop recipes next time.

Vicki's Hush Puppies

Reviewed on Aug. 25, 2008 by Healthymama
Very, Very good! My daughter loves them! I did make some changes though... I added 1 teaspoon of Bakeing Powder & used regular Flour instead of Self-rising flour. (they are very good when dipped in ketchup)
