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…
Spaghetti Pizza
It’s April and that means here in Minnesota we’re entering spring and the weather is warming up. It’s the perfect time to enjoy one last casserole before grilling and summer meal season is upon us.
