West Virginia

Before the American Civil War, there was only one Virginia. However, when most of Virginia seceded from the Union in 1861, the northwest portion chose to stay put. Even before the war’s conclusion, newly formed West Virginia was rewarded with statehood, making the Mountain State the 35th to enter the Union. The Mountain State is deftly nicknamed, as it lies entirely within the Appalachian Range. Farming in West Virginia is difficult because of the rugged, mountainous landscape, but hunting is a popular activity, and game meats and fish have been important parts of the diet going back to the days when Native Americans had the rugged terrain to themselves. The brook trout is West Virginia’s state fish and the Golden Delicious apple (a variety first developed in Clay County, West Virginia) is the state fruit. Apple butter (made with apples stewed in cider with sugar and spices) is another West Virginia favorite.

Wheat Germ Whole-Wheat Buttermilk Pancakes

Reviewed on Aug. 20, 2008 by Cassi
I looove pancakes. However, they aren't exactly healthy. These were PERFECT. A great way to start your day and get a lot of good vitamins and nutrients. I followed the recipe almost exactly. I didnt have WW pastry flour so i just used reg WW flour. I used applesauce instead of oil. And I added a bout a tsp of flaxseed. They were very fluffy. They expand A LOT while cooking. So don't make them too large. I will def. be making these again!

Pot Roast in Beer

Reviewed on Aug. 20, 2008 by JOSEPHINE
Only modification I did was using a dash of ground cloves (my husband isn't a big fan) and adding mushroom from a can. I used Guinness and the roast tasted way too strong. I'll have to try this again with a lighter beer.

Sauerkraut Filling for Pierogi

Reviewed on Aug. 19, 2008 by JOSEPHINE
These were AWESOME!!! I love sauerkraut and just had to try these. 1/4 of the pierogis I boiled then fried and 1/4 of them I just fried. Hubby liked the boiled one but I liked just fried. I used a sour cream, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, and dill weed dipping sauce.
