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 >

Michael Symon's 5 in 5: 5 Fresh Ingredients + 5 Minutes = 120 Fantastic Dinners

I made a half recipe of this for son and I and used 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs. It was quick and easy and delicious.

This was a really good bologna sandwich. I used Dukes mayonnaise since that's what I always have on hand and it just so happens there is a jar of Dukes in the picture with MS's bologna sandwich. I used thick cut bologna and loved it with the runny yellow of the fried egg. I didn't have any purple onions on hand so I used vadialia.

Even though I bought the wrong bread, sour dough instead of rye, these were delicious. Loved it with the caramelized onions and Swiss. Also liked that the bread was toasted in butter with the burger, Swiss and onions on it so the Swiss was melted nicely. Hoping to try this again soon with rye bread.

This one was right up son's alley since he doesn't like green peppers and this one has mushrooms instead of green peppers and it uses thinly sliced rib eye. I bought a package fresh thinly sliced steak but it didn't say if it was rib eye. Hubby and I loved these too.
