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…
Creamed Corn
I don’t remember when or where we made this recipe first. But I do know husband loves corn and at some point something possessed up to try making our own creamed corn. I printed the recipe we started with from food.com on 10/29/2012 so we’ve been making and tweaking it for almost 4 years. I’d call…

Blueberry Crumble Bars
