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 >

The Essential Instant Pot Cookbook: Fresh and Foolproof Recipes for Your Electric Pressure Cooker

By Coco Morante
Ten Speed Press - 2017

While I thought this was very good hubby just thought ok and son didn't like, even though he usually enjoys barley recipes and loves mushroom and sage.

Great way to have pintos much quicker than on the stove top. I'll be making again.

This recipe didn't work for me. It came out very sticky.

These ribs were very easy in the Instant Pot. Very tender as well. They were cooked in apple juice and apple cider vinegar. Then browned with Stubbs BBQ sauce in the oven for a few minutes.

I was the only one who ate this after I made it. Gave rest to my daughter. While I liked it it tasted like it needed more spices or something. Was a bit lacking in flavor.

Hubby and I loved this meatloaf and son who isn't a big meatloaf fan liked it too. Only 15 min after coming to pressure in the Instant Pot and a quick release then a few min under broiler topped with the sauce. Mashed potatoes and a salad and supper was done.

While this was very good and quick and easy in the Instant Pot son and I both agreed we like my meatballs cooked in the oven. The meatballs were cooked from raw in the sauce and while good were a bit lacking in flavor that the oven gives.

This was so easy and so delicious. I'll be making again.

Loving cooking in my instant pot. Sauteed the patties in a bit of oil then removed and did the mushrooms and onions, broth and some other things to make the gravy all the IP. Next patties were returned to the pot and it was put on pressure. Made my potatoes and green beans on the stove while the meat was cooking. Delicious.
