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…
How to: Bake Bacon
I’ve never met anyone who doesn’t like bacon, at least I hadn’t until I met my friend Jenn. But that’s all good, because it means when we go out for breakfast , she gives me her bacon. Now as much as I like eating bacon, cooking it is another story. Standing over the stove, hot…
