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 >

Weight watchers take out tonight

This dish is amazing. Who'd think broccoli could be this good. We loved this one. Loads of flavor to make even the non broccoli lover stand up and take notice.

Who knew that such simple ingredients as whole wheat flour, all purpose four, salt and water could make such wonderful bread. Be sure to make some of this if you try one of the Dals.

Some people might have trouble finding udon noodles but it does say you can sub spaghetti. If you can find udon it's wonderful. Other ingredients are easy to find.

So good and easy to make. Most ingredients are easily found in your local market.

This was a delicious meal. You just need to add a veggie and you're all set. We love the flavor that chipotles give a dish and this was great.

This one also calls for red lentils and is even better than the other dal included in this book. Lots of flavor here.

I hurt my leg so my daughter has been cooking for us some. For Cinco De Mayo she made these Mexican Pizzas. They were delicious. She did make a few substitutions for ingredients we didn't have on hand or to make a short cut. Instead of stewed tomatoes she used salsa. Instead of frying the corn tortillas she used some tostada shells we had on hand and used regular cheddar instead of low fat. It made a tasty quick easy supper.

We love hot and sour soup you can get in Chinese Restaurants. This is a great recipe that you can make at home. Most of the ingredients are easily found in your local markets or in an Asian grocery store.

This one has lots of WOW! We loved it. I used hot sesame oil, since we like spicy and we all added a bit of extra soy sauce after it was cooked. YUMMY!

This was pretty good but probably not something I'd make again. It wasn't hard to make just not extra special.

Homemade pizza at it's best. This was so good. Fresh basil is a must.

This was good but we thought it needed a bit more salt and maybe some cayenne for some heat.

This is an easy one to make and very tasty.

This one was very tasty and not hard to make at all. If you want a tasty Indian dish made with potatoes and spinach and lots of spices try this one.

This one calls for red lentils which some people have a hard time finding but if you can find them and enjoy Indian food try it. Quiet tasty.

We made this one with bay scallops instead of shrimp and it was so good. Easy to make with simple ingredients.

We made this one with lean ground pork instead of turkey. If you like Indian food give this one a try. Easy and tasty.

These were fairly easy to make and quiet good. My kids did think a bit to corn starchy but think if it was sprinkled over then stirred in it would be better.

We really enjoy fried rice and this one is great even without the shrimp. Easy to make and wonderful to eat.

A meal in a bowl. This one was quiet tasty. No hard to find items included. Chinese take out at home.

These were wonderful. We did all some mushrooms as we love those. All ingredients easy to find. You do have to make the dough but that's not hard and so worth it.

My daughter made these for us for lunch one day and they were really good. We both enjoy spring rolls. The only ingredient that might be hard for some to find is the fish sauce.

These are a tasty treat for breakfast or a snack. The cranberries and orange give it a wonderful flavor.
