East Coast Food Tour Part 2

We're now just one week out from the end of our food trip through all 50 states. Have you had fun perusing the recipes I dug up for each state? Hopefully, I managed to entertain you and teach you a little something about each state and all the delicious foods unique to each.

I have enjoyed researching the diverse foods, recipes and ethnic trends each state offers up to natives and visitors alike. I hope you are inspired to go on a real food trip of your own soon and visit a state with something delicious!


Pennsylvania - Best known for it's Philly cheese steaks, Pennsylvania also boasts some popular Dutch recipes too. Since I didn't have a recipe for cheese steak, I opted to share our Corned Beef.

Corned Beef and Cabbage

Connecticut - I never expected to learn that Connecticut is best known for it's hamburgers. Here's our recipe for a Bacon Melt, which I think would be excellent with a beef patty tucked underneath all that ham!

Bacon Melt

Rhode Island - I am not exactly sure what Coffee Milk is, but that's what Rhode Island claims fame for. I'm guessing it's essentially half coffee and half milk. Here's our homemade Cappuccino Mix.

Massachusetts - Last this week but not least, Massachusetts revels in its Clam Chowder popularity. We've got clam chowder recipes on the site, but no pictures. Here's our Ham & Bean Soup to tempt you over!

Ham & Bean Soup

Enjoy these recipes and stay tuned for next week's final visit to Vermont, New Hampshire & Maine! Bet you can't guess what they are famous for?! Connect with us on Facebook to share your favorite state food, or visit Alicia's Recipes for more great recipe ideas!

Bacon Ideas for Easter!

Bacon Melt

Ahh Bacon!  Most of us can't help our mouths watering when we smell the distinctive odor of bacon frying (or baking in my case...it's less messy)!  Some of us observe Lent before Easter...which typically means - no bacon. :-(

Bacon Jack Deviled Eggs

Since Easter is only a week or so away, I thought you might enjoy some bacon recipes to incorporate into your holiday, whether you observe the traditional Easter power-dinner with all the relatives over or a simple brunch with just a few peeps!

Bacon and Buttermilk Mashed Potatoes

Regardless of how you celebrate Easter this year, please do enjoy these tasty dishes featuring your friend...Bacon.  Get your bacon love on!  And as Jack (notorious owner of Jack-n-the-Box franchise) would say "make your bacon love official."

We love feedback and photos - so send us some!

Let The Gobble Go!

Thanksgiving Dinner with my family is always fun and super chaotic!  If yours was half as crazy and filled with eccentric relatives as mine was...sit back, relax, and let the gobble go for another year.  While you're at, if you get tired of leftovers anytime in the next 10 days ;-) give one of these simple and scrumptious recipes a try just to change things up a little.  Breakfast for dinner?  It always goes over awesome at my house!

Please submit a picture of your results to our site.  We love to see what's sizzlin' at your house!
