West Virginia

Before the American Civil War, there was only one Virginia. However, when most of Virginia seceded from the Union in 1861, the northwest portion chose to stay put. Even before the war’s conclusion, newly formed West Virginia was rewarded with statehood, making the Mountain State the 35th to enter the Union. The Mountain State is deftly nicknamed, as it lies entirely within the Appalachian Range. Farming in West Virginia is difficult because of the rugged, mountainous landscape, but hunting is a popular activity, and game meats and fish have been important parts of the diet going back to the days when Native Americans had the rugged terrain to themselves. The brook trout is West Virginia’s state fish and the Golden Delicious apple (a variety first developed in Clay County, West Virginia) is the state fruit. Apple butter (made with apples stewed in cider with sugar and spices) is another West Virginia favorite.

About me:
 Well I am 28 years old with a 2 yr. old son who LOVES to cook. I have a boyfriend who loves to try my new dishes too along with all my friends and family so that really helps. They are my best critics. When I am not cooking I am an assistant manager of a vitamin shop. Have been there a little over 5 1/2 yrs. In my spare time besides cooking I love to spend time with my son and my love, crossword puzzles and watching the FOOD Channel or bascially any show dealing with cooking (TOP chef was the best!)

Alaska Salmon Bake with Pecan Crunch Coating

Reviewed on Oct. 11, 2008 by J Martin
Great recipe for a busy weeknight! You can do all of the prep work in the time it takes for the oven to preheat. The flavor combination was pretty good, especially the honey mustard. My husband wouldn't eat it, but he only likes fish that's fried. :( I subbed dried parsley for fresh.

These were really good. Hubby says he likes these better than the typical oyster crackers but I think I'm gonna have to go with the oyster crackers on this one. Sorry!!
