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.

I loved this one. She says you can use whatever fruit is in season so I used apples which went great with the cinnamon sugar toast. Loved the orange zest in the ricotta. Can't wait to try this one with other fruits. Very filling breakfast and I've had it twice already.

Daughter made this while I was fixing the rest of our supper. We thought it fantastic. Even her husband liked it. We did leave out the star anise since we aren't a big fan. Daughter used the small spiralizer my sister bought me awhile back.
