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.

Easy Chicken Fajita Soup

Reviewed on Feb. 8, 2010 by CornflakeGirl 
This was just okay to me. Too many peppers for my taste. My boyfriend really loved it though so I guess to each their own. Thanks for the recipe, it was fun to make.

Vanilla Bean Cheesecake

Reviewed on Feb. 8, 2010 by CornflakeGirl 
This rating is for the crust only. Using Vanilla Oreos is a fabulous idea. I used it with my old standby cheesecake recipe and it made it even better. I would reccomend using a food processor to finely grind the cookies though. Makes the whole process a lot easier. Thanks for the recipe.

Margaritas to Die For

Reviewed on Feb. 8, 2010 by KATSKI 
I have made this recipe countless times and will never buy margarita mix again. If you are a margarita or tequila connosieur, you will love these and not mind the extra work involved. If you would ever consider putting beer or frozen limeade with your tequila, you will probably say these are too much trouble. If you do decide to make this delicious concotion, try these tips: 1. If you are in a rush, mix it in a glass bowl or cup and microwave for about 20 seconds to dissolve the sugar and bring the oil out of the zest. If you have time to wait overnight, marinate in the fridge and shake occasionally. Mason jars work great for this ;) 2. Unless you like drinking greenery with your margarita, strain the zest out before mixing/serving. 3. You can easily reduce the tequila by half and still feel good after drinking it :) 4. You probably won't get a full four drinks out of one batch so go ahead and plan to make a double!
