Arkansas

The Natural State is home to the Ozark Mountains. Arkansas is bordered by the Mississippi River to the east, and Oklahoma and Texas to the west, with Louisiana below and Missouri above it. Arkansas’ central situation has allowed it to absorb many styles of cooking. There is Southwest influence, Cajun and Creole nuances, Midwestern, and full-on Southern inspiration at work here. Because the soil is rocky and unforgiving, farming was a tough go early on. Wild game from the hills and freshwater fish from the rivers sustained early settlers. Today, poultry production is a major industry in Arkansas. Warm corn bread or biscuits, fried pork chops in sausage gravy, fried catfish, or barbecued ribs and baked beans would not be out of place on an Arkansas table. Dessert might include strawberry shortcake. And if you’re interested in dessert for breakfast, try an Arkansas original: chocolate gravy drizzled over hot biscuits! Arkansas has an official cooking vessel: The Dutch oven.

About me:
 I'm the middle of five children and didn't cook much growing up, except for baking desserts for my family of sweet tooths! After I got married, my cooking was based a lot on my Mom's recipes. Now I try new recipes all the time thanks to my subscription to Taste of Home magazine and this website! I have three beautiful children, a 4 year old son and daughters ages 2 and 6 months. Cooking to please picky kids is a constant challenge! Other than cooking, I also like to read, hike, play games, and most of all, just spend time with family.

Peanut Butter Quesadillas

Reviewed on Oct. 9, 2008 by Momma Keene
I was so excited when first saw this recipe, but after giving it a shot I was disappointed. The peanut butter tasted funny after it melted :( I tried it with chocoate chips and that wasn't good then I tried it with honey and it tasted very wierd lastly I tried it with jelly and I was still not satisfied. I probably won't try this again.

Chicken Noodle Casserole I

Reviewed on Oct. 9, 2008 by LAURIE
This Casserole was pretty good. I used double the egg noodles (whole wheat) and I cut up the chicken and cooked it in a skillet with 8oz of sliced mushrooms and an onion. I also added a can of cream of celery soup and 2 cups of defrosted frozen broccoli. I seasoned the whole thing with Emeril's essence (as common as s&p in our house. Before puting it in the casserole dish I added a bag of shredded cheddar to the mix. We chose not to do the crackers on top since we don't care for them much. Baked at 350 for 45 minutes. Overall I thought it was pretty good and very easy. My husband loved it.
