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.

Zesty Zucchini and Squash

Reviewed on Aug. 19, 2008 by Kristin
This is a great recipe! It didn’t seem too spicy to me. The green chilies added that nice little kick. I also sautéed the onions and some garlic in the pan just until the onions started to turn translucent before I added everything else in. My boyfriend loved it and I’m sure I’ll be making it again. :)

Currant Jelly Wiener Sauce

Reviewed on Aug. 19, 2008 by NurseApril
(I am a STRICT vegetarian so I am just going by my co-workers reactions) I made these as directed and had mixed reactions. The general consensus was "they are ok" some people thought they were "pretty good". My feelings were kind of hurt because I usually get rave reviews for everything I make, which in all fairness is usually dessert. I will try to make this again for a different crowd and get back with you guys on the reviews:)

Spinach and Tortellini Salad

Reviewed on Aug. 19, 2008 by NurseApril
pretty good. I followed the directions pretty closely. I used Ken's steakhouse light italian dressing.. just a splash. As per other reviewers, I used fresh spinach. I used grape tomatoes, which got unappetizingly squishy after a few hours.. Next time they will be a last minute addition. I used a 16oz bag of 3 cheese tortellini cooked for 7 minutes. A handful of reduced fat feta topped it off nicely. will make again!
