Fifty-Nifty Recipes... Home of...Don't miss this one!

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.

    I hope you enjoyed our visit in Tennessee. 
    See you next time...in another state!
