Rhode Island

The smallest state in the union, Rhode Island also has the longest official name: the State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations. However, it is almost always shortened to Rhode Island. While there is an island named Rhode Island, most of the state (the Providence Plantations portion) is actually connected to the mainland. Rhode Island is wedged between Connecticut and Massachusetts, with a coastline that cuts deeply into the eastern part of the state along Narragansett Bay, ensuring that no matter where you are in Rhode Island you are never far from the sea. The Atlantic Ocean has greatly influenced Rhode Island’s economy, cuisine, and culture. The quahog clam shell is the official state shell of Rhode Island. A typical preparation for quahog clams is to combine them with sausage and stuffing and then bake the mixture right in their large shells. The Ocean State also offers a unique take on clam chowder; it’s a clear-broth variation of the creamy New England kind and is often served with deep-fried clam cakes, another Rhode Island specialty.

Tropical Pork Chops

Reviewed on jun. 30, 2009 by Pat's 
Made this tonight for my picky sister. She really enjoyed the dish. I did add extra pineapple as she really likes them. Other than that I changed nothing. This dish is definitely a keeper and is now in my cookbook. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Chili-Lime Chicken Kabobs

Reviewed on jun. 29, 2009 by hmb812001 
These were awesome, I probably used about 1/4 tsp of cayenne, the only change was I used lemon in place of lime(all I had on hand).I also poured the marinade over the veggies(onion,green pepper and mushrooms)and let it sit for about 15 mins.
