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.

Turkey Bean Soup

Reviewed on Oct. 5, 2008 by BoneyardDiva
This recipe was pretty good. I had to lower the amount of chili powder & cumin to keep the spiciness from overpowering the soup. Once the soup was complete, I sprinkled Parmesan cheese in my bowl & that cut down some of the heat. Overall, a pleasant dish.

Easy Sugar Cookies

Reviewed on Oct. 5, 2008 by BoneyardDiva
Absolutely delicious & so easy. These were the first cookies I've ever made from scratch & they really were easy. I had to cook them closer to 10 minutes to get them fully cooked through.
