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.

Sweet and Sour Kielbasa

Reviewed on Aug. 20, 2008 by Janine
I have made this recipe many times. Sometimes using kielbasa, and sometimes using cocktail wieners. Both are very good and great for parties. I throw it all in the crock pot to simmer and can never make enough. People gobble them up! When I want to change it from a 4 star to a 5 star recipe, I add prepared horseradish to the mix. It gives it a perfect taste and thickens it as well. Thanks for the recipe!

Zucchilattas

Reviewed on Aug. 20, 2008 by Chelsea
INCREDIBLE. This was soooo good and pretty easy! I had a TON of zucchini to use up. I didnt change anything, but man this made a lot.. we will have leftovers for days. I will totally make this again, but will scale down the recipe and add more seasoning. I like it spicy.

Tantalizing Turkey and Blue Cheese Meatballs

Reviewed on Aug. 21, 2008 by 5THSISTER
I made this recipe almost exactly as written (I used half the black pepper called for). Unfortunately the meat mixture was too wet to form into meat balls. An additional 1/2 cup of bread crumbs did the trick. I really enjoyed this recipe. The ingredients were subtle and complemented each other well. I served the meatballs with a balsamic reduction along with sides of wilted spinach and pasta with homemade pesto sauce. YUM! On a sorry note, my husband and children are traditionalists and prefer the same old turkey meatballs I usually make (not your fault). They gave you between 1 and 3 stars. However, I gave you 5! Since my vote counts more (after all, I searched for recipe, made recipe, prepared appropriate accompaniments and took the time to review said recipe), I gave you an average 4 star rating. You did a great job and should be proud of this recipe. I am impressed that this was submitted by a 15 year old. I look forward to great things from you!
