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 >

This one was just ok. We did like the heat but there seemed to be too much sauce for my amount of chicken.

I have made this many times since adding this book to my collection. My family and I love this one. It's so easy to make, pretty to look at and delicious to eat. Great for taking to a pot luck. Be prepared to share the recipe!

This was great. My family devoured it. Comfort food at it's best.

I love chocolate and adore chocolate desserts but my son doesn't care for chocolate. I was looking for something to make for him and decided on this cake. He loved it as did his Dad. It's amazing. I took some to work to share with my two lunch mates and they sure enjoyed it too. It's one I'll make again for sure.

This one is so easy to throw together when you return home from work after a hard day. It's very filling and good.

We loved these. The first time I made them I made half without the Swiss. Even though they are great with the cheese I liked them even better without. This is a fast easy meal for a work night. All you need to add is some cranberry sauce and a veggie and you're all set.
