Old-Fashioned Hot Buttered Rum
This old-fashioned hot buttered rum is the real thing, a genuine old-fashioned recipe, except you use a slow cooker to simmer it. You will swear you are drinking a cinnamon roll, and then it hits you! It's very tasty and a family favorite.
Easy Homemade Pie Crust
This homemade pie crust is my personal favorite and is made using a food processor, which makes cutting the butter into the flour very simple, without overworking the dough. You can make a double batch of this and freeze the individually wrapped dough for future pie-related adventures.
Creamy Creamed Cabbage
This sauce for cabbage is a bit different but it tastes great. Cabbage, Romano cheese, and cream sauce are a perfect combination!
