About me: I collect cookbooks and love to cook and try new recipes. I tested recipes for Leite's Culinaria for almost eight years. I learned to cook from many good southern cooks including my Mom, Dad, several Aunts and my Grandmothers. My children and husband also like to cook and try new foods and recipes. My son still lives with us but our daughter is married. She often visits to cook with me. We are adventuresome eaters willing to try new things.

Bourbon Roasted Pork Loin from Everyday Dorie: The Way I Cook

This was delicious. I know she says in the book not to use the good bourbon but all I had was Woodford Reserve so that's what I used. I marinated for about 8 hours in fridge. Loved the apples and onions... read more >

Money Saving Meals and Round 2 Recipes

By Sandra Lee
Hyperion - 2011

These were delicious. I loved the mustard BBQ sauce and pickled onions with the pork. I think I even liked these better than the first dish. The BBQ sauce and onions were quick to make but the onions had to set for one hour. I made the onions the night before and then had supper on the table after work in minutes.

We really enjoyed these. The only thing we added was a tiny bit of Siracha sauce on our tacos for a little heat. Love the flavors the soy, garlic, onion and orange marmalade lent to the meat as it was cooking.

I thought the slaw wouldn't be that good since all it had in it was cabbage, carrots, cider vinegar, salt and pepper, but it was great on the soft corn tacos with the meat. The only thing I changed in the recipe was to use green cabbage instead of the red called for since it was much cheaper and I can't really tell much difference in the flavor.

I can't wait to try the Round 2 Recipe which is Pulled pork sliders with mustard BBQ sauce and pickled onions on page 96. We're having this later in the week with some of the leftover pork.
