Beef Tallow
I’m going to show you how to make “Liquid Gold” today otherwise known as beef tallow. If you’re the type of person who has ever saved your leftover bacon grease (or at least remember your mom and grandma doing that) and know how much flavor that adds when you cook with it – you’re going…
Mexican Style Street Corn Off the Cob
This past spring we flew to Chicago to watch the Twin’s take on the White Sox. It’s the first Twin’s away game we’ve been to and it sure was fun to be a fan at an away game. We sat behind the Twin’s dugout and since there were very few Twin’s fans, ended up catching…

I have branched out a little bit over the years in the form of other types of potato salad. Last summer, I posted this Warm Potato Salad with Bacon and…
