Alabama

The Yellowhammer State is a Deep South state situated along the Gulf of Mexico between Mississippi and Georgia. It is sometimes called “the Heart of Dixie.” The stars of Southern cooking shine on Alabama. Ribs, sweet potato pie, fried chicken, fried green tomatoes, catfish, hush puppies, sweet tea, fried pies, pralines, oysters, shrimp, and chicken and dumplings are just a sampling of the down-home cooking you’ll find in the Heart of Dixie. The pecan is the official nut of Alabama. The blackberry is the official fruit, but the peach also receives recognition as the official “tree fruit.” Honey is a big product. Alabama ranks second in the nation in farmed catfish production. But the largemouth bass is the state’s official fresh-water fish.

Apple Spice Snack Cake

Reviewed on Jul. 5, 2008 by MaryLizBeth
This dessert received mixed reviews from my family. Almost everyone raved about it but one person felt it had a weird aftertaste. It was also rather crumbly in texture for cake. Here are the changes that I made after reading previous reviews: substituted 2 Tbsp. apple butter and 1 Tbsp. applesauce for the vegetable oil and topped with store bought whipped cream cheese frosting. Next time (and there will be a next time) I'll add another egg (or use egg substitute and XX of it to cut out the fat even more) to keep it from being so crumbly. Thanks for posting and for the helpful reviews:)

Lemon Pie I

Reviewed on Jul. 5, 2008 by MaryLizBeth
Before I made this, I read the reviews and made a few changes(that's why I gave the recipe only 4 stars). I increased the lemon juice to 2/3 of a cup, added 1 1/2 tsp. lemon extract, added a few drops of yellow food coloring, sometimes make the crust from scratch in a 9" springform pan, and sometimes top the pie with a layer of whipped topping and a sprinkling of the leftover crust mixture. It's always well liked by the family. I have made this many times and will continue to do so!! Thanks for posting and for the helpful reviews:)

Fresh Strawberry Scones

Reviewed on Jul. 5, 2008 by sueb
I made Fresh Peach Scones. Because the peaches were crisp, I did not have to worry about extra moisture! I really liked the consistency of the dough and the taste of the nutmeg in this. This is the recipe I would choose to use for Peaches and Cream Scones!
