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.

Meatballs in Light Tomato Sauce : page 207

We love these meatballs. I've made them with both ground turkey and ground beef, equally delicious. The veggies and tomatoes in this one give it such a delicious flavor. Great by themselves and also on pasta.

Polenta with Mushrooms : page 381

I love polenta and grew up on what my Grandma called mush (southern). This makes a great side dish or a meal by itself.
