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 >

Since we've been getting some really good corn lately and I had some frozen shrimp leftover from making the Shrimp Club Salad p 87, I decided to try this recipe. I'm sure glad I did since this one is delicious. I only make half a recipe for hubby and I. I didn't have have any fresh basil so I just sprinkled some tarragon on mine instead. Hubby didn't want any on his.

I made a half recipe for three for hubby, son and I for our supper. Since son doesn't like shrimp I just added extra bacon to his. The dressing is a simple mixture of mayonnaise, chives and lemon juice but is great on this salad. After we had eaten son wanted to know if we had eaten all the dressing (he though it was bottled) he was surprised how good it was. This makes a wonderful supper or lunch for these hot summer days. I used some leftover sour dough bread for the toasted croûtons.
