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.

Pumpkin-Apple Muffins with Streusel Topping

Reviewed on Oct. 6, 2008 by Tammy W
These were a hit! Perfect for a frosty fall morning. I would make the salt total 1 tsp the next time. I also added some walnuts to half the batter. This yielded about 27 muffins, so there wasn't quite enough streusel. I'll use the excess batter to make some mini loaves.

Hamburger Vegetable Soup

Reviewed on Oct. 5, 2008 by TARAWVU
I made this last week for my husband and grandmother and both couldn't stop raving about it. I did use canned vegetables instead of frozen and I added some cabbage. A keeper for sure.

Brown Sugar Smokies

Reviewed on Oct. 5, 2008 by TARAWVU
These are delicious!! I admit, I was a little skeptical about wrapping bacon around the little smokies but it really does work. They are even better after they sit for a bit and the glaze gets crunchy. Yum!!
