Central South

The Central South runs from Gulf Coastal Mississippi and Alabama northward through Tennessee into Kentucky and West Virginia, where it is hemmed in by the Ohio River. The ancient corn-based Mississippian culture once prospered along the Mississippi River Valley. The first Europeans to explore the Central South were Spanish and French. They settled the coastal portion. The interior, Kentucky and West Virginia, were secluded by rugged mountain terrain. The cuisine that emerged in the Central South reflects the history of this sub-region, ranging from the French and Creole-inspired and the down-home Southern “soul food” classics of Alabama and Mississippi, to the “hog and hominy” tradition of Tennessee, to the wild game stews of Kentucky and West Virginia.

Lasagna Roll-Ups

Reviewed on Nov. 6, 2009 by Marley_Mom

These were a little harder to roll up than I thought they would be and messier, but DELICIOUS!!! We always have so much left over from lasagna, so this is a great food saver. I just make one for the each of us (4 total). These would be great served to company! I have also made these with Italian sausage and spinach. just as versatile as regular lasagna. Thanks for a a great recipe, Virginia!
