Central South

The Central South runs from Gulf Coastal Mississippi and Alabama northward through Tennessee into Kentucky and West Virginia, where it is hemmed in by the Ohio River. The ancient corn-based Mississippian culture once prospered along the Mississippi River Valley. The first Europeans to explore the Central South were Spanish and French. They settled the coastal portion. The interior, Kentucky and West Virginia, were secluded by rugged mountain terrain. The cuisine that emerged in the Central South reflects the history of this sub-region, ranging from the French and Creole-inspired and the down-home Southern “soul food” classics of Alabama and Mississippi, to the “hog and hominy” tradition of Tennessee, to the wild game stews of Kentucky and West Virginia.

About me:
 I am a wife and mother of a college student and a preschooler with autism. I work as an accountant but wish I could devote more time to family life. I guess I try to make up for it with great meals. Good food = good love; right? I LOVE to cook... I HATE to wash dishes. I wish I could find a way to do the first without having to do the second.

Miss Betty's Super Quick Dinner Rolls

Reviewed on Nov. 17, 2008 by Leanne
This was a great quick recipe! They do taste more like biscuits and don't brown very well, but other than that, they are fab!!

Polish Meat and Potatoes

Reviewed on Nov. 17, 2008 by LouisvilleHugger
A bit oily for us but other than that it was a hit. We'll definitely make this again (adding more & different types of vegetables too!)

Microwavable Chocolate Fudge

Reviewed on Nov. 17, 2008 by LuLu
Fudge is usually my nemesis. I can't make fudge for the life of me. However, I had success with this recipe! Very easy, I melted my marshmallows and stired them in with the fudge then topped with butterscotch chips. Delish! Will definately make again.
