Vermont

Vermont was a French possession until 1763 when it became a British colony, one of the original thirteen. French Canadians, along with English, Irish, and Scots, were the first Europeans to settle the Green Mountain State. Incidentally, “green mountain” is montagne verte in French. Hence, Vermont. Vermont is the only New England state without access to the Atlantic Ocean, but lacking that, Lake Champlain does form a long (and lovely) border with New York to the west. Vermont is known for its maple syrup and its cheese and dairy industry. The sugar maple is Vermont’s state tree. The brook trout (a cool-water stream fish) and the walleye pike (a warm-water lake fish) share the title of state fish. The apple has earned dual honors, being named Vermont’s state fruit while also receiving props for being the key ingredient in the state pie. To eat apple pie in the true Vermont style, don’t forget a nice slice of Cheddar and a scoop of Vermont vanilla ice cream. A classic accompaniment to Vermont Cheddar are the common crackers sold at country stores. Sample them crushed over a bowl New England clam chowder, as well.

Cajun Chicken

Reviewed on jun. 15, 2009 by JFHVT 
I was a little concerned by the "lack of smell" after putting all of the ingredients into a lg. ziploc bag with the chicken...I pounded the chicken into large, thin pieces. I left them in the frig for about 6+ hours then grilled them. They were delicious~ the marinade is not overpowering at all just light and good!

Banana Crumb Muffins

Wow what a great, yummy recipe. I will be using it instead my dull regular banana bread. The topping was the best!
