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.

Delicious Raspberry Oatmeal Cookie Bars

Reviewed on Dec. 4, 2008 by RLOGAN01
I remember making this recipes when I was young and loved it and praise be to God that I found it again. I used seedless blackberry jam because that is what I had on hand and turned out so good, my Sunday School class thought so too.

Apple Crumb Pie

Reviewed on Dec. 4, 2008 by JUSTCYN
Okay call me cheater. Instead of peeling and slicing fresh apples I used 2 cans of Lucky Leaf apple pie filling. Sure was a lot easier though! I adjusted the sugar and flour because it is already sweetened and thickened. I used about ¼ cup more brown sugar and only about 1 tbsp. flour. And I left out the lemon juice too because the filling evidently already has something like that in it to keep the apples from turning brown. There’s no cinnamon or nutmeg or any spices in this brand so I gather you are supposed to add your own anyway. In a bowl I stirred the brown sugar, flour, spices and sour cream into the apples. Ha, ha, I also melted the butter for the apples in the microwave and then forgot it was there so it got left out. Pie still came out great so I didn’t blab my mistake. I made the crumb topping with brown sugar and a dash of cinnamon and nutmeg. I watched my baking time since the apples were already mostly soft cooked from the can but it took about the same time until it was hot and I even added another 10 mins. to crisp up my topping a little more. I froze this pie for a few days while we finished another I had made and thawed it overnight in the fridge. Quite successful and just like fresh especially if you microwave the pieces to warm them a bit for serving.
