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.

Son and I really enjoyed these. Fast, easy, quick, healthy week night meal.

Great use for a little left over brown rice. I did add a touch more chili garlic sauce since it tasted a little bland with the tiny amount called for. Nice breakfast.

Excellent recipe for green beans. Loved the fat free sour cream and grainy mustard dressing for these. I opted to steam them in the microwave and they were ready in less than five minutes.

I really loved these and hubby liked them too. He said he prefers his a bit more cooked though. I liked the tender crisp.

Made these for daughter and I for Easter breakfast. We loved them. Love the idea of using lemon yogurt on top instead of pancake syrup. The recipe says serves three but I only got two servings using the 1/4 cup measure for the pancakes as suggested.

The only reason I didn't give this a 5 star is due to the fact I made my own biscuit dough instead of using low fat canned biscuits. I made my dough with low fat butter milk and a little butter. We loved them dipped in a mixture of whole grain and yellow mustard.
