North Carolina

One of the original Thirteen Colonies, the Tar Heel State squeezes itself between Virginia and South Carolina on the Atlantic Seaboard. The nickname “Tar Heel” harkens back to colonial times when North Carolina was a major exporter of tar, pitch, and turpentine. Modern North Carolinians have good naturedly turned what was initially a pejorative into a welcome, unpretentious nickname. No state in the Union produces more sweet potatoes than North Carolina. They are the official state vegetable. The official berries are strawberry and blueberry, but the overall state fruit nod goes to the Scuppernong grape. In a region known for barbecue, North Carolina stands out. Here in the “Cradle of ’Cue,” barbecue fanatics can follow a Barbecue Trail that hits 25 of the state’s most important barbecue joints. If you're eating barbeque in the Carolinas, chances are pretty good that you're enjoying pulled pork shoulder, cooked long and low over flavor-forging wood smoke.

Awesome Steak Marinade

Reviewed on Aug. 19, 2008 by Chelsea
MMMM!! I used this for my steaks tonight. My husband just got back from China (he was there for 2 weeks!) and he was missing some steak and potatoes. I'll admit, I didnt follow this recipe exactly... but almost. I forgot to pick up honey at the store so I just left it out. It was STILL really good. With the honey it would probably have been a knock out. I'll be using this alot- it was tangy but sweet but salty. YUM.

Lemon Horseradish New Potatoes

Reviewed on Aug. 19, 2008 by Janine
This is a great recipe. The sauce is absolutely wonderful. I think the recipe should state that these potatoes should be sliced, and the smaller the better. When I make these again, I will be sure to double the sauce and remove the potatoes from the pan into a bowl and pour the sauce over them. Believe me, you will want to get every drop of the wonderful sauce! Thanks for the recipe!

BLT Bow Tie Pasta Salad

Reviewed on Aug. 19, 2008 by Janine
This turned out delicious! I would not skip the BBQ sauce as others have done, or you won't be getting the true taste of this recipe. This is a perfect recipe for a summer cookout! Thank you!
