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…

Slow Cooker Green Chili Chicken Enchilada Soup
I might not love late fall and winter for the temperatures or the snow, but I do love how good they make a bowl of soup taste. And there is nothing better then a slow cooker soup that is basically waiting for you when you get home from work. Combine a warm bowl of soup…
