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.

 My fondest childhood memories revolve around food and family. I cherish the time spent with my loved ones, and find that love of food is a very common bond we all share. Much of my work focuses on food, and much of my spare time at home finds me in the kitchen baking or cooking - simply put food is a very important part of my life.

Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies

Reviewed on Dec. 4, 2008 by Patricia Cox
I remember when this recipe first came out in the WIC cookbook in the 1980's. It's the only one the I ever use. We've loved it ever since we first tried it; it's good to see that it's still around and people are still using it.
