Southern USA

Southern cuisine means big, big flavor. Many culinary classics of the American South are known to all: fried chicken, barbecue, biscuits, and sweet potato pie. Some regional favorites are a little more obscure, like smoked country ham and redeye gravy, crayfish etouffee, and Brunswick stew. And then there are local loves that rarely get any play beyond the places where they were born, like Country Captain, Hoppin’ John, and the Louisville Hot Brown. The South’s heat and humidity lead Southerners to excel in the art of canning and preserving. Pickled fruits and vegetables, relishes, and chutneys are indispensable; even barbecue sauce comes down by way of a long line of homemade vinegars. The weather, coupled with a love of hospitality and for gatherings centered around eating, leads to many outdoor food events. The church picnic, oyster roast, the afternoon barbecue, they all bring folks together to socialize over a common and comfortable cuisine.

Broccoli Ham Ring

Reviewed on Nov. 20, 2008 by The King's kid
Great recipe. Everyone liked it. Rather than using cooked ham, I opted on canned ham. Also, I substituted Swiss cheese with Natural low-moisture part-skim Mozzarela cheese which blended well with the other ingredients. Not having a 13-inch stone or baking sheet, I used a 12-inch porcelin plate causing me to use 12 of the 16 crescent triangles. Though the ring was solid with pieces overlapping each other, it made a wonderful 'suprise package' of edibles. Using "butter flaky" rolls instead of 'plain jane' ones made this recipe a hit with my fammily. Thanks, Rebecca, for sharing this recipe with us all.

Kay's Spaghetti and Lasagna Sauce

Reviewed on Nov. 20, 2008 by Kimberly
This had to much garlic for our liking. It makes a ton, but next time I think I would maybe do 3 garlic cloves instead of 5.

Enchilada Casserole III

Reviewed on Nov. 20, 2008 by Kimberly
This was very tasty. I used 2 cans of enchilada sauce instead of the first three ingredients. I also used black beans instead of refried beans. I used a can of green chilies and a can of sliced black olives. I also used a lot more cheese than the recipe calls for. Very good.
