North Carolina

One of the original Thirteen Colonies, the Tar Heel State squeezes itself between Virginia and South Carolina on the Atlantic Seaboard. The nickname “Tar Heel” harkens back to colonial times when North Carolina was a major exporter of tar, pitch, and turpentine. Modern North Carolinians have good naturedly turned what was initially a pejorative into a welcome, unpretentious nickname. No state in the Union produces more sweet potatoes than North Carolina. They are the official state vegetable. The official berries are strawberry and blueberry, but the overall state fruit nod goes to the Scuppernong grape. In a region known for barbecue, North Carolina stands out. Here in the “Cradle of ’Cue,” barbecue fanatics can follow a Barbecue Trail that hits 25 of the state’s most important barbecue joints. If you're eating barbeque in the Carolinas, chances are pretty good that you're enjoying pulled pork shoulder, cooked long and low over flavor-forging wood smoke.

Banana Crumb Muffins

Reviewed on Nov. 19, 2008 by lboogie
These were good, the first banana nut muffins I've ever made. For the flour half of it was wheat flour and they were great. I also used Canola oil in place of the butter. Will make again. Thanks for the great recipe!

Apple Enchilada Dessert

Reviewed on Nov. 19, 2008 by lboogie
This was reallllly good, I crave it sometimes. I used a no sugar pie filling adding a little sugar myself, next time I will use fresh apples. I also added some vanila into the sauce, and sprinkled cinnamon every where. It's still really good the next day too. I cut mine into little 2inch pieces and places toothpicks in them, since we had a lot of people. It worked out great. These are delicious!

Spicy Garlic Lime Chicken

Reviewed on Nov. 19, 2008 by lboogie
I loved this, I also love lime juice though. =) I followed the recipe as is and it was terrific, adding the lime at the last minute is great, really keeps the flavor there. I made a salad out of it the next day, adding a lot of cilantro to it, and spraying with more lime juice. It was still great the day after. Thanks for the great recipe!
