Apple Funnel Cake
Applesauce in the batter makes these apple funnel cakes extra tender. To keep the oil from splashing when frying funnel cakes, be sure to hold the tip of the funnel close to the oil, no more than 1 inch from the oil surface.
Crispy Restaurant-Style Hash Browns
These hash brown potatoes will beat restaurant hash browns hands down. I like to cook them very crisp and well done. I usually make one large pan-sized hash brown so I just have to flip once in the hot oil. These potatoes are superior to frozen or restaurant hash browns. I saw a similar recipe online and wanted to have a written copy for the kitchen so I did not have to watch the video each time I made these.
Classic Slow Cooker Corn Chowder
This classic corn chowder is made in a slow cooker and comes with a kick. My family likes a little spice, and this sure does it. Of course, you can make it without the spicy stuff and still get a really good chowder. Play with the flavors and create your own version.
