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.

Green Onion Pancakes : page 90

I used the dumpling dough to make these pancakes. I used my french rolling pin to roll out the dough.

Vegetarians Delight : page 226

This could be a main course but I used it as a side and served it over Asian Rice with a little extra low-sodium soy sauce. My veggies were Chinese cabbage, carrots, snow peas and baby corn.
