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 >

Dining In: Highly Cookable Recipes

By Alison Roman
Clarkson Potter - 2017

marinated overnight, used boneless chicken thighs, jared za'atar instead of authors recipe, forgot to squeeze lemon juice on at end. Delicious, loved the spring onions.

Not my favorite banana bread but son-in-law loved it and daughter said good. The cocoa was a little overwhelming with the banana for my tastes.

I steamed my small potatoes in instant pot, fried in avocado oil that is mixed with other healthy oils, my parsley was bad so I omitted.

I love kimchi and am always looking for new ways to consume it. This was a quick and easy work morning recipe that was very tasty. This was perfect for one for breakfast not sure how it would serve 4.

So delicious. I've always enjoyed corn nuts but never thought to put them in a salad. Gave a nice crunch to the refreshing lime flavored corn and onions. I omitted the cilantro since neither hubby nor son enjoys it in any dish. I did my corn per her oven instructions instead of grill. We all thought this one was quiet good.

The Aleppo pepper in this gave the tender crisp asparagus a wonderful flavor. I squeezed on the optional lemon juice at the end and that gave it a nice bright pop.

Mussels are often hard to find here, but I lucked up and found a pound of precooked frozen ones at our local market for a very reasonable price. I added them in at the end just long enough to warm them up. I used tilapia for the fish. I couldn't find oil brined black olives, so I'd planned to sub some kalamata olives I had at home only to find they were spoiled, so I omitted them. We all enjoyed this one on a rainy Sat. night with toasted garlic bread for dipping.

I couldn't find broccolini so I used the option of broccoli. I couldn't stop eating this. My daughter enjoyed it too.

Today from Dining In p. 230 I made Slow-roasted pork shoulder with garlic, citrus, and cilantro. I did omit the cilantro since some family members are not a big fan. This was a great project for a raining day since it takes some time to cook. I did overcook mine just a bit so didn't get lovely slices but it was delcious. Looking forward to sandwiches from the leftovers.
