About this Cook
Well, I am a true Southern girl, who loves traditional Southern cuisine, but loves to cook fare from all over the world. Our current Asian exchange student has me experimenting with stir fry right now. Hoping to learn to cook Mid-East cuisine from a new friend in the coming months!
My favorite things to cook
Wow, hard question. Love favorites like my mom's meatloaf, Allrecipes flat iron steak, chicken enchiladas, anything cooked with balsamic vinegar! Favorite dessert is Tiramisu Trifle (to die for, but I only make it for people I love because it is labor intensive :))
My favorite family cooking traditions
Love the holidays. Soups on Christmas Eve, Honey Baked Turkey at Thanksgiving, Stromboli for tailgating at Mississippi State University football games! Go Dawgs!
My cooking triumphs
I really do make a truly moist turkey bird, marinated and cooked with honey, worchestershire sauce, soy sauce, butter, and rosemary.
My cooking tragedies
Sadly, my husband said not to make any more potato cakes with leftover mashed potatoes. Can't say that I blame him, though.

Rubbed and Grilled Pork Loin
Wow, this is excellent! I made it for a cook-out with friends on Friday night and made it for the family tonight (Tuesday), so obviously we liked it! I like to cook pork until it reaches 155 degrees because it still cooks internally after you take it off the grill. Biggest caution is to not overcook it, so stay on top of the temperature. A good meat thermometer is not an option with pork.

Perfect Turkey
Cooked the bird according to the recipe, but it was a disappointment compared to past turkeys. Was much drier than the recipe I usually use, which involves honey, worshestershire sauce, soy sauce and poultry seasoning. Oh well, live and learn, and go back to what works for you!

Weeknight Pork Chops
This WAS really simple and tasty. I had pork loin chops in the freezer and needed a super simple, grill-less way of preparing them. I browned the chops, then poured the sauce over them and finished cooking them in the skillet. Excellent flavor! Thanks for the recipe and for the great tips from other reviewers. You should try it, too!
