Homemade potato chips are fun and easy. Guaranteed they won't last long! A food processor with a slicing attachment is very helpful for slicing the potatoes. Experiment with the thickness; you may like them thicker or thinner. I like to use olive oil for frying, but you can use safflower, corn, or peanut oil as well as vegetable oil.

Squash Pie
A wonderful use for fall squash. If there is too much filling, surplus may be baked in custard cups set in pan of hot water. Do not bake together with the pie, because the steam from the water will make the pie soggy.
Bulk Venison Breakfast Sausage
This venison sausage recipe is something we make every year as my husband is an avid hunter. We add pork to the venison because the venison has such a low fat content. For the pork, we get really fatty-looking roast ground at our grocery store.
Tasty Buns
An excellent yeast bun recipe that can be used for hamburgers or just plain dinner rolls. They don't take long to make and have never failed for me!
