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 for Every Season: 165 Quick Dinners, Sides, Holiday Dishes, and More

By Michael Symon, Douglas Trattner
Clarkson Potter - 2015

This book is divided into seasons and from this recipe is in the fall section which is the season we just started here now. Daughter and I really enjoyed this one. Who would have thought to put Havarti, apple, argula and Dijon on Italian bread and grilling it? Delicious!

Son and I really enjoyed this recipe. He ate his without the celery salad though with just a sprinkle of the blue cheese on the tenders. I on the other hand loved the simple celery salad. I even made me another celery salad for my lunch the next day with a couple of the leftover tenders chopped up in it. The tenders were just as good cold as hot. I used my grill pan to make these.

Made these for hubby, son and my supper. Enjoyed the addition of shiitake mushrooms on this one. I had to leave the onions off son's though. Easy, fast, delicious supper. Even though this was in the winter section they would be great any time of year.

While this was from the winter section I think tacos are great any time of year. These are really spicy from the 2 teaspoons of Chipotle powder and 1 teaspoon of cayenne. They were delicious though.

No cheese was called for and son and hubby think you can't have a taco without cheese so they added cheddar and sour cream on theirs. I ate one with cheese and one without and thought they were good either way. I did add the suggested cilantro to mine but the guys hate cilantro so they omitted that.
