Oklahoma

Shaped something like a meat cleaver poised above Texas, the Sooner State was homesteaded in a novel way. In 1889, a land rush opened up Oklahoma Country (the so-called Unassigned Lands) to homesteading. Not everyone played by the rules. Some snuck across the starting line before the signal was given. These cheaters came to be called “Sooners.” After Oklahoma became a state in 1907, this pejorative became a term of waggish self-regard for unabashed Oklahomans. The name Oklahoma is a combination of two Choctaw words “okla,” which means “people,” and homma, which means “red.” In the Choctaw language, Oklahoma Territory meant “Indian Territory.” Oklahoma is the only state in the Union that has an official state meal. It’s quite a spread, a comprehensive tour of southern specialties, consisting of barbecue pork, biscuits with sausage and gravy, chicken fried steak, cornbread, black-eyed peas, grits, corn, fried okra, squash, strawberries, and pecan pie.

About me: I've always loved cooking but was a go by the recipe girl. Since marrying my husband in 2005, I have finally learned to cook by the seat of my pants. It's amazing what we can come…

Brown Rice Turkey Soup

Reviewed on Oct. 11, 2008 by ILove2Ck
I made this whole recipe for my son and husband to eat while I was working the weekend and considering they ate the entire pot all by themselves in less than a day, it must be a hit. They both enjoyed this and would like me to fix it again. I only used half the red pepper since I was using pimento and only had that much in the jar. Next time I will use the entire amount. I used an inexpensive Texas chenin blanc in this. I used regular brown rice and just cooked til it was done. I did simmer this soup about an hour before letting it cool to refrigerate for my guys' meals. Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe with us!

Baked Beans, Texas Ranger

Reviewed on Oct. 11, 2008 by MSBHAVENNIOWA
I always drain the pork and beans when making baked beans, so this was not soupy for me at all. I didn't have the sausage but my family loves this recipe. I am use to ketchup/mustard/brown sugar baked beans so this was a new refreshing way to eat them. I will be making these again and again. Thanks for the recipe.
