Everyone who knows me well knows that my nickname "Miss Google USA" is especially fitting when I am going someplace new. Since I was going to visit Ohio for the very first time (my bestie moved there because her hubby had a job offer) I just had to know what the deal was with "The Birthplace of Aviation". What is the local color like? What's fun to do there? What do Ohioans like to eat?
Food, yes. Now that's a topic I love! I came to find out (thanks, Google!) that Ohio is known for their Buckeye Candy. Yes, they are such huge college football fans that they created a candy to look like the buckeye buts their team is named after. They are like Reese's, but even more creamy and delicious! Not making it out to Ohio anytime soon? Try this recipe!
Another confectionary delight that Ohio is know for is Shaker Lemon Pie. Apparently early Shakers from that area were notoriously thrifty and hated to see lemon peels go to waste so they created a pie where the entire lemon could be used. Weird as it sounds, the lemons are so delicately thin that you hardly notice it. Try this recipe if you don't believe me!

My husband is from Ohio and you're right...they are die-hard Shaker Lemon Pie and Buckeye balls fans! They also have a thing about green bean casseroles.
I have a thing about green bean casseroles, too! Yum!

Hi, thanks for stopping by to check out my blog! Just wanted to say we love the Buckeye Balls and make them at Christmas! But here in Mississippi, we call them Peanut Butter Balls!
We love Buckeyes and always make them at Christmas!! And we call them peanut butter balls in Alabama, too. Another favorite along those same lines are Bourbon Balls- I'll just let you figure out why they are such a hit!!
