Comments (24)You know, I think our traditional Thanksgiving meal is about as close as we get to indigenous food, right? The wild turkeys were here when the first Puritans arrived. The native Americans were raising corn and squash and beans, I think, and sunflowers as well, which was a major vegetable protein source for them via the seeds which are easy to preserve. Cranberries are native in some parts of the country, and so is wild rice. So, all those ingredients are more or less indigenous American foods. Maybe one problem is that our nation is so large geographicaly, so we do have more regionalized "America food" depending on what foods are readily available in each region instead of a well-known "American" cuisine. For example, if you grew up in Boston, you might argue that lobster and Boston baked beans are true American cuisine, but if you grew up in Georgia or South Carolina, maybe you'd insist it was barbeque, baked beans, cornbread and grits. I was thinking about what kind of native food a forager would find growing naturally here in Oklahoma....there's wild game, of course, and wild blackberries and wild grapes here in southern OK, and some of you probably have wild huckleberries or currants in some eastern parts of the state that we don't have here. Here in southern OK, we have the wild prickley pears (you can make jelly from them) and native pecans and walnuts, and persimmons. There's also several kinds of wild plums, and you can fish in the Red River for catfish. Dorothy, I think I am going to grow peanuts next year so we can make our own peanut butter without all the additives. I remember having a Mr. Peanut machine when I was a little kid....you put the peanuts in his hat and turned the handle and got peanut butter (a peanut paste probably would be a better description). It was simple, so it seems like it'd be simple to make homemade peanut butter in the food processor or blender. Carol, I love all those old Southern Living recipe books...they are my kind of cooking! Another great cookbook full of old-style southern cooking is Fannie Flagg's Original Whistle Stop Cafe Cookbook, which came out at about the same time that her book, Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe, was made into the movie of the same name. If my grandmother and southern aunts had written a cookbook of the foods they prepared their entire lives, it would have been very, very similar to Fannie Flagg's cookbook.

Comments (14)Ingredients * 1 tablespoon olive oil * 1 1/4 lbs pork tenderloins, cut into bite sized pieces * 1 1/2 lbs sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed * 2 poblano peppers, seeded and diced * 1 cup chopped onion * 1 tablespoon chopped garlic * 1 teaspoon cumin * 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon * 1 (14 1/2 ounce) can fat free chicken broth * 1/2 cup water * 1 cup frozen corn * 1 1/2 cups salsa, a chipotle version suggested * cilantro (to garnish) Directions 1 Heat 2 teaspoons of the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the cubed tenderloin and cook for 7 minutes, turning so all sides are browned and the pork is cooked. Remove from pan and set aside. 2 Add the remaining teaspoon of oil to the pan along with the onions, peppers and sweet potatoes. Cover and cook for three minutes until the vegetables begin to soften. Add the sweet potatoes, continuing to cook another 2 to 3 minutes. 3 Add the garlic, cumin and cinnamon, stirring so that the spices are well mixed into the vegetables. There should be a nice aroma at this point. Stir in the water and broth and bring to a boil. Lower to a simmer and add in the corn. Cook covered for 5 minutes. 4 Add in the salsa and the cooked pork. Cook until heated through. If you are using salsa from the fridge, I would suggest adding it a minute before the meat so that it can heat up without leaving the tender meat tough. 5 Garnish with cilantro and serve with warm tortillas or tortilla chips....See MoreNYTimes: roasted sweet potato pie/flan
Comments (3)My favorite sweet potato pie of all time... From The Huffington Post/LIZ SMITH/11/20/2012 "So, once again, we will reprint an alternative, the famous Pink Teacup café's recipe for a dessert that looks just about the same as pumpkin. At the Teacup, they always offered sweet potato pie and here is the recipe:" 2 lbs. yams ý cup of butter 1 teaspoon cinnamon ü teaspoon ginger ý teaspoon salt ü teaspoon nutmeg 2 tablespoons white sugar 1 cup brown sugar 3 large eggs, separated ý cup orange juice 1 tablespoon grated orange rind ý cup of evaporated milk Peel and boil yams until mashable. Add butter, spices, salt, sugar to hot yams. Beat until light and smooth. Beat egg yolks until light and add to mixture. Stir in orange juice, orange rind and milk. Beat egg whites until stiff and fold in. Pour mixture into unbaked pie shell. Preheat oven to 350 and bake 35 minutes or until the pie puffs up and is firm in the middle. Cool on a rack. Add whipped cream. "Then, dig in, pilgrims! You'll have something that resembles pumpkin pie but is a thousand times better tasting and easy to make once you assemble the ingredients. Is it fattening? Sure, but Thanksgiving only comes once a year." "I have been giving this recipe annually for 50 years. People stop me on the streets of New York and ask me for it or about it. So, consider this a public service. And I've given you a few days time to work on this dessert, which is really easy to concoct even if you are not a chef." I never did make it to the Pink Tea Cup before it closed...wish I had....See MoreSweet Potato recipe...(sorry a little late for Easter)
Comments (6)I usually mix in a can of crushed pineapple with some of its juice, brown sugar to taste, cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamon, and a can of mandarin orange with cooked and mashed sweet potatoes. Then place the mixture in a casserole dish, dab some butter pieces and sprinkle brown sugar on top. Then, bake it 400F degrees for 15-20 minutes or until sugar caramel. Hum... that sounds yummy. I want some! I'm going to try your recipe too! Thanks for sharing....See Moreeileenlaunonen
