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.

Georgia Cooking in an Oklahoma Kitchen: Recipes from My Family to Yours

By Trisha Yearwood
Clarkson Potter - 2008

This was my birthday cake this year, made by my daughter. I often requested German Chocolate cakes for my birthdays growing up. They were often made by my Granny or Mom. With both of them gone now my daughter has started making them. This was a delicious version. Options were to use 1 1/2 cups nuts in the frosting, either pecans, almonds or walnuts. Just so happened daughter had 1/2 cup of each so she went with that with fabulous results.

I made this simple meatloaf for supper and it reminded me of the ones my Mom used to make. Not many ingredients but fantastic.
