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.

Italian Love Cake

Reviewed on Sep. 5, 2008 by Dawnell
I made this cake at the suggestion of my mother. I thought it was really plain. Maybe I did something wrong, but I was not impressed at all! I took it to a cook out, no one complained about it, but no one asked for the recipe either.

Mama Lola's Estrellas

Reviewed on Sep. 3, 2008 by SHELLYVANKIRK
This is a good starter recipe. Needs a little more flavor. A little adobo powder would be a great addition.

Chicken Enchilada Casserole I

Reviewed on Sep. 3, 2008 by SHELLYVANKIRK
This is a pretty good casserole recipe. I used a bone-in split chicken, which I boiled and picked. This also gave me the broth for the recipe. I also used 12 tortillas, and a generic velveeta from Kroger. It was a queso blanco with Jalapenos which added a little spice. All in all, a great go to recipe which could be made ahead.
