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.

Chocolate Chip Muffins

Reviewed on Aug. 25, 2008 by Sarah Roop
These chocolate chip muffins are very good. I did, however, add 1/4 cup extra milk and 1/4 cup brown sugar to give a little extra sweetness. I also sprinkled the tops of the muffins with just a few extra chocolate chips, because the chocolate chips tend to sink to the bottom of the muffin pan. I'll definitely make these again as a special treat for my kids.

Alyson's Broccoli Salad

Reviewed on Aug. 26, 2008 by JOSEPHINE
VERY GOOD!!! This was the first broccoli salad I've ever made and it tasted great. I'm not a big fan of broccoli salads so I'm so glad to have found this recipe.
