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 >

Savory Sweet Life: 100 Simply Delicious Recipes for Every Family Occasion

By Alice Currah
William Morrow Cookbooks - 2012

Each year for our Christmas breakfast I try to find a new breakfast casserole and fruit dish to serve for our breakfast. This one even has a fitting name for that. It was delicious and just as good reheated a few days later for another breakfast. I enjoyed that this one has sweet Italian Sausage in it as well as extra sharp cheddar, mushrooms (I used Baby Bella), tator tots and a few other ingredients and that it's topped with sliced tomatoes and parsley. Red and Green, perfect for Christmas 2013.

When this says spicy it means it. I used cayenne from Penzy's Spices and this cayenne is super hot. I didn't quiet use the whole 3 teaspoons called for and it was still quiet spicy. Despite this we still loved it, although next time I will go a little easier on the cayenne. We always have several appetizers on Christmas Eve instead of eating a meal and this was one of the ones I choose for 2013. I took the leftovers and warmed them for our lunch while cooking Christmas Supper at my Dads and my nephew and his wife fell in love with it as well although he wants her to make it again for them without the artichokes.
