Raleigh, North Carolina

The state capital and one of the points that makes up North Carolina’s Research Triangle, Raleigh is home to a half-dozen colleges including North Carolina State University. This being North Carolina, the rallying cry in Raleigh is for basketball…and barbecue. And not just any barbecue. Pork barbecue is the name of the game. Pulled pork sandwiches are a favorite, topped with a heaping helping of coleslaw. Pork ribs and hush puppies excel here too. On a hot day, nothing goes down better with North Carolina barbecue or a fried chicken dinner than a tall glass of iced tea. If you’re looking for trendy dining in the City of Oaks, the gentrifying Glenwood South neighborhood offers anything from wine bars to sports bars. The enormous State Farmers Market is held daily and shows off the region's bounty, from organic fruits and veggies to fresh-baked cakes and lovingly preserved jams and jellies.

About me:
 I started cooking about 12 and have found the best thing is trial and error. Look at the ingds. and if you dont like or want something in it, change it. I love to put on the radio and just have fun. Best tips, start with good stuff & make sure for a large group you start with the meal recps, then ingrds, and then make a detailed list, make tons of lists for everything from the dishes so you do not forget something in the fridg, for the store, for cooking and when, etc! Favorite staples to add in; nuts, garlic, celery, paparika, seasoning salt, tabasco, brown mustard, onion (green for sld). Bst tip, never try a new rcp for company!

After-Thanksgiving Turkey Soup

Reviewed on Dec. 2, 2008 by Marie L.
I hate dark meat, but I didn't want to throw it away from the Thanksgiving turkey. My mom-in-law lives with us, and she loves dark meat. So I decided to make some turkey soup, even though I never had done so before. I tasted it, and it's actually really good. The half and half helped me a lot. I lvoe creamy soup. I used cornstarch instead of flour, and I probably only used about 1/2 cup or a little less. I also sauteed 2 tsps of minced garlic with the vegetables. Instead of salt I used garlic salt, and I added parsely flakes. I also used organic brown basmati rice. Thanks for the recipe!!!

Turkey Shepherd's Pie

Reviewed on Nov. 29, 2008 by Marie L.
Thank you for listing this. I basically looked at this recipe to see how long it should be baked. My ingredients were quite a bit different because I wanted to make a shepherds pie to use up left overs from Thanksgiving dinner. I figured cooking times shouldn't be too different though. I'll list the ingredients so people have ideas on what they could throw in their own. I used the homemade whole wheat stuffing for a bottom crust, I just pushed it all down into the bottom. Then I put a little shredded cheddar on top of it. Next I put shredded white turkey meat. On top of that I used the rest of our homemade turkey gravy. Then I put most of the left over broccoli casserole. On top of that more shredded cheddar cheese. The final layer were the homemade mashed potatoes. I then sprinkled more cheese on top of the potatoes. I assembled in a Pampered Chef deep dish stone pie plate. It tasted fantastic!

Sweet Potato Casserole I

Reviewed on Nov. 28, 2008 by Kari
This is a very good recipe. I will make it again. One of my guests, who has never eaten sweet potatoes or yams since childhood, tried and LOVED the dish.
