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.

Terry's Texas Pinto Beans

Reviewed on Sep. 5, 2008 by Janine
I enjoyed these beans. I have always cooked my pintos in fatback and have been looking for a way to make them taste great without all the fat. This did the trick! While I was not crazy about the salsa addition, I do think all the other ingredients were excellent and I plan to use those ingredients without the salsa everytime I make pinto beans. I never thought garlic and cummin would be such a great addition to pintos. Thanks you for this great recipe!

Beef Parmesan with Garlic Angel Hair Pasta

Reviewed on Sep. 5, 2008 by BRiTTANY T0RRES
Ever since i read this recipe I cook this meal atleast once a week! Ive changed things up a bit, but i still want to thank you! Heres what i did: I take the cube steaks and dip them in egg, and then coat with the parmesan cheese, then garlic, and then the breadcrumbs. Then I fry them in oil till the are cooked, and top with fried onions. Then I make the pasta on the side. I use rotini noodles, and top them with butter, garlic, and parmesan cheese. Its so good. I felt this was a quicker way to make YOUR recipe, and is still delicious. Let me know if you try it!
