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 >

Golden Door Cooks at Home: Favorite Recipes from the Celebrated Spa

By Dean Rucker, Marah Stets

This granola is great by itself and also delicious on the Yogurt Parfait (also from this book) I plan on trying some with milk on it as suggested in the book. I took it for my snack several days at work and it was great with fruit or alone. I know I'll be making this one often.

I made these for our breakfast one morning. Sarita and Andrew spent the night, since I didn't have to work that Sat, and Sarita and I were tagging along with Mom yard "sailing". Sarita and I loved these. They made a great breakfast for a hot June morning before heading out for some treasure hunting.

Tesia - great niece, had one for a snack when she spent that night with us and she really liked it too.

I did use peaches instead of cantaloupe since Sarita doesn't care for cantaloupe and fresh SC peaches were on sale at our local market. I plan on making this one again with different fruits. I bet it would be good with strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, and many other fruits. Instead of piping in the yogurt I just spooned it in.
