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…

By Dana 4 Comments
It’s almost New Year’s and that means it’s almost time for our traditional Southern Style Chicken Strip feast with my in-laws! It’s probably one of the meals I look forward to most each year. Part of it is because the night is so low key and we play games all evening. And then of course…
