West Virginia

Before the American Civil War, there was only one Virginia. However, when most of Virginia seceded from the Union in 1861, the northwest portion chose to stay put. Even before the war’s conclusion, newly formed West Virginia was rewarded with statehood, making the Mountain State the 35th to enter the Union. The Mountain State is deftly nicknamed, as it lies entirely within the Appalachian Range. Farming in West Virginia is difficult because of the rugged, mountainous landscape, but hunting is a popular activity, and game meats and fish have been important parts of the diet going back to the days when Native Americans had the rugged terrain to themselves. The brook trout is West Virginia’s state fish and the Golden Delicious apple (a variety first developed in Clay County, West Virginia) is the state fruit. Apple butter (made with apples stewed in cider with sugar and spices) is another West Virginia favorite.

About me:
 "Good eats!" I hope Alton Brown will not mind that I borrowed his catch phrase. I'm addicted to the cooking network. Rachael Ray is my favorite cook to watch. American Idol, Antiques Roadshow and The Office are my other favorite shows. I'm a huge fan of Taylor Hicks. Soul Patrol!! Soul Patrol!! I'm a mother of a soon to be 4 yr old boy and a 16 yr old girl, and I teach middle school Language Arts. I enjoy helping students to improve their comprehension and to foster a love of reading. I work at an Italian restaurant on the weekends. (I don't know if it's permissible to say the name.)

Mama Lola's Estrellas

Reviewed on Sep. 3, 2008 by SHELLYVANKIRK
This is a good starter recipe. Needs a little more flavor. A little adobo powder would be a great addition.

Chicken Enchilada Casserole I

Reviewed on Sep. 3, 2008 by SHELLYVANKIRK
This is a pretty good casserole recipe. I used a bone-in split chicken, which I boiled and picked. This also gave me the broth for the recipe. I also used 12 tortillas, and a generic velveeta from Kroger. It was a queso blanco with Jalapenos which added a little spice. All in all, a great go to recipe which could be made ahead.

Cha Cha's White Chicken Chili

Reviewed on Sep. 2, 2008 by VIRTUALESLIE
Good and spicy! I only used one can of beans because it was all I had and I thought it was perfect. Three cans might be too much beans for our family. I forgot to add the cheese at the end and just added a dollop of sour cream to everyone's bowls! It was a great fall chili. thanks!
