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

Think beer can chicken without the can. The chicken is marinated in spices and beer for at least 8 hours. I did mine a bit longer than that. Marinade is then discarded and the chicken is grilled. Delicious! I threw in a couple thighs as well as the legs.

Delicious take on the BLT. Macaroni, bacon, grape tomatoes, I used multi-colored cherry ones, romaine lettuce, sour cream, mayo, spices and vinegar.

Good broccoli salad that you can make ahead and store in fridge. I used a Fuji apple instead of red delicious and I couldn't find smoked cheddar. Had planned to add a drop of liquid smoke but was out.

While these were good they were not our favorite way to make baked beans but glad we tried them. They look amazing in the photo in the magazine and mine look appetizing as well. Not that fond of the root beer though.
