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 >

	Beef Stir-Fry From: Trisha's Table: My Feel-Good Favorites for a Balanced Life (reviewed 6th May 2015) Hubby and I enjoyed this one. I choose the option of green beans instead of snow peas since they're easier to find here. My store didn't have a skirt steak but they did have a sirloin steak at a great price so I got that. Fast, easy, quick, delicious, work night supper.
	Cornbread Chili Casserole From: Trisha's Table: My Feel-Good Favorites for a Balanced Life (reviewed 6th May 2015) While this was very good we didn't really care for the sweet cornbread topping. Next time I'll just make a small batch of my own cornbread instead of using a boxed one.
	Hummingbird Pancakes From: Trisha's Table: My Feel-Good Favorites for a Balanced Life (reviewed 27th April 2015) Hubby and I loved these. I ate mine with sliced strawberries and bananas and hubby added pancake syrup and the leftover crushed pineapple to his along with the berries and bananas.
	Orzo Salad From: Trisha's Table: My Feel-Good Favorites for a Balanced Life (reviewed 27th April 2015) Made for my work lunches. Excellent. Loved the chick peas along with the orzo, grape tomatoes, kalamata olives and red wine vinegar and olive oil dressing. Nice touch to cook the orzo in chicken broth.
	Pork Tenderloin with Honey Mustard Glaze From: Trisha's Table: My Feel-Good Favorites for a Balanced Life (reviewed 27th April 2015) While this was good it was a bit on the sweet side for son and my tastes.
	Spinach-Stuffed Shells From: Trisha's Table: My Feel-Good Favorites for a Balanced Life (reviewed 24th June 2015) Included in the stuffing was some Tofu Ricotta, also a recipe in the book. I really enjoyed these but son didn't care that much for them. He said he liked the other spinach stuffed shells I made a long time ago better.
	Tofu Ricotta From: Trisha's Table: My Feel-Good Favorites for a Balanced Life (reviewed 24th June 2015) I thought this was very good in the spinach stuffed shells. I'm also going to try it on some toast as Trisha suggests, since the recipe made more than I needed for the shells.
