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 >

Cook It Quick!: Speedy Recipes with Low POINTS Value in 30 Minutes or Less

By Weight Watchers
Touchstone - 2004

Most of the recipes in this book hit the close to 30 minutes mark but this recipe was in the bonus section of the book and a 15 minute recipe. My daughter and I made this one together for us and it was so good. She said anytime you want to make this one again I'm ready to eat it.

First you sauté green onions in just a little bit of olive oil. Then you add cherry tomatoes (we used grape tomatoes), and fresh from the cob corn (it also says you can use thawed frozen if fresh isn't available).

Next you remove that from the pan and add some lemon juice to the pan and pan fry the flounder. It also suggests you can use almost any firm white fleshed fish including catfish. We used Swai which is Vietnamese Catfish. The lemon juice gives it the most heavenly flavor that just screams summer. You remove the fish to the platter with the veggies and sprinkle with salt, pepper and chives.
