This state is the home of cotton candy, Mountain Dew, the MoonPie, the first tow truck...miniature golf...the first self-serve grocery store, The Piggly-Wiggly. Davy Crockett was born here...home of the Titans...Presidents? No. No presidents were born in this state, but several claim it as their state. Cracker Barrel started here....this is where I like to enjoy chicken and dumplins' and turnip greens! Whether the kids (ages 19,18, 16) are with my husband or not...the old-fashioned candy sticks are a must. They still request their favorite flavors!
Fort Donelson is also here.... www.nps.gov/fdnc/ Years ago we visited this fort. Well worth your time if you are in....TENNESSEE!!
I found a recipe for Hillbilly Caviar...
2 (15oz) cans black beans, rinsed
1 (17oz) can whole kernel corn, drained
2 large tomatoes,chopped
1 large avocado, diced
1/2 red onion, chopped
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Dressing:
1 Tablespoon vinegar
3-4 Tablespoons lime juice
2 Tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
Combine all ingredients. Cover and chill. Serve with tortilla chips. Serves 24.
A few years ago I found a copy cat recipe for Cracker Barrel's Hashbrown casserole....it has become a family favorite.
