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…
Almond Joy Cookies
Sometimes you feel like a nut. Sometimes you don’t. Sometimes you feel like an Almond Joy Cookie. I don’t make basic chocolate chip cookies very often. Don’t get me wrong I like them, but there are so many creative things to try with cookies. And I do like chocolate in cookies. I also really like…

Pork Chops with Drunken Apples & Pears
Pork chops and applesauce is a natural combination. But what if I added chunky apples instead of apple sauce? Let’s add some pears to those apples too.
