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 couldn't find the black soy or one of her other suggested alternates so I just added a bit of sugar to part of the soy in the sauce recipe. I also make her sweet and sour sauce to drizzle on the finished dish and it was delicious. I added the suggested hoisin to my bowl and that took it over the top. I used ground pork for my ground meat option. I used medium thawed, frozen shrimp and chopped them. It takes alot of cabbage for this. I used 2 bags of coleslaw mix and then enough shredded cabbage to make the 2 pounds called for. I made this in my instant pot.

We've always enjoyed Pioneer Womans version of this recipe in the slow cooker. This version is great too in the instant pot. This one uses some Zesty Italian dressing mix packets where PW uses Italian seasoning. Both are delicious.

Made this as part of our Christmas supper and it was a hit with the family.

I made this to go on the healthy inside out egg rolls and it was delicious. I'd make again to dip chicken nuggets or other things in.
