Memphis, Tennessee

A mecca of American music, Memphis is the birthplace of the blues, soul, and rock and roll and Elvis Presley himself. Of course, Memphis is also one of America’s great barbecue capitals (where pork has primacy). Be sure to top off your pulled pork sandwich with a mound of saucy slaw. The month-long Memphis in May festival features the renowned World Championship Barbecue Cooking Contest. Besides barbecue, Southern and soul-food classics are on display. Every year during Memphis in May, local Southern restaurants get together in Tom Lee Park to share their fare at the Great Southern Food Festival -- fried catfish or chicken, cornbread, sweet-potato pancakes, fried green tomatoes, and much more. Bring the pants with the larger waistband when you come to town, because you won’t go away hungry in Memphis, Tennessee.

Icebox Sugar Cookies

Reviewed on Dec. 7, 2009 by Kate Sams

Great flavor! The only reason I didn't give this recipe five stars is b/c I rolled it flat to use with cookie cutters, and it's very, very, sticky.

Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff I

Reviewed on Dec. 7, 2009 by Dwayne Byrd

Doubled the soup and added some onion soup mix as many suggested. I thought it was quite good. The kids liked it more than I for some reason. Will make again though.

Chocolate Covered Cherry Cookies II

Reviewed on Dec. 7, 2009 by Booschmoo

I just made these for a Christmas Cookie Swap Party. They are great! I was skeptical because it seemed odd to spread icing on a cookie and then bake it, but it actually worked! The icing stays soft and covers the cherry, without running all over the place while it bakes. The cookie is nice and soft as well and has great flavor. I will definitely make these again; they would be great for Valentine's Day also!
