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.

Cheesy Party Burgers (AKA Diamond Burgers)

I thought these were good but hubby and son didn't enjoy them as much. They thought they were too sweet. There was only a couple tablespoons of brown sugar in the glaze that goes on top of the dinner rolls.
