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.

Almond Sandies

Reviewed on Sep. 5, 2008 by NJtoAL
Wahoo! First one to try this recipe and I give it 5 stars. I followed it to a T. Note it does spread while baking. I got more than 24 cookies, about 40. Appearance wise ok, but the texture and taste is great. Second batch I put a flat almond on top so you can tell the type. It is a nice change from chocolate chip cookies.

Sausage Pepper Sandwiches

Reviewed on Sep. 5, 2008 by NJtoAL
I made this for 4 but still used a whole pepper and a whole onion. I also added mushrooms. I used hickory smoked sausage which I did not brown beforehand. The slowcooker was on HIGH for 4 1/2 hours. My husband was home and noticed it was burning so he added water (although I used a 15 oz can of tomato sauce. The final result was waterdowned so I used a slotted spoon to put it on hoagie rolls. It still tasted very good and I'd make again but watch if the sauce gets low.

Brown Sugar Meatloaf

Reviewed on Sep. 4, 2008 by NJtoAL
In the past most meatloafs taste like hamburgers but in a different shape. This one is better. I used 1/4 br. sugar, 1/4 milk, 1 egg, added 1 garlic clove and 1 TBL worchester sauce. I replaced the cracker crumbs with seasoned bread crumbs and did not have ginger to use. The most helpful review was putting a slice of bread on the bottom to soak up the grease. I used 2 endpieces which also was helpful when it was overcooked so that they almost burned instead of my meatloaf. I put 1/2 the meat mixture on top of the bread, then 1/2 the brown sugar mixture in a middle layer, next the rest of the meat and then the rest of the sauce on the top. I cut slits into the meat for the top sauce to sink in a bit. Cut back on the sugar in the original recipe and you'll really enjoy this meatloaf with minor changes of ingredient amounts.
