IAF - Cooking, Baking 🍞 & Recipes 🥘

Son and I learning how to cut up a Chuck Roll into the different muscle parts. It was a fun learning experience but I know we have room for improvement! We got out of this: 4 Chuck Roasts, 6 Denver steaks, 6 Chuck Eye steaks, 2 Sierra steaks, 1-gallon bag of stew meat, 1-quart bag of fat for tallow, Some tough connective tissue to cook with bones to make bone broth. The only thing I threw out was the plastic bag it came in.

Had a brainstorm idea this morning: Why not take a quart jar, add dried peppermint leaves and water and let it steep in the sun's heat along with my gallon of black tea and peppermint leaves? I think this might be a good way to make mint-flavored ice cream?

I think this is my favorite way to cook squash, sautéed in bacon grease with onions, salt and pepper. I picked my one and only Tatume squash on the vine along with an extra overripe yellow squash and made this. Yummm! The only thing I didn't grow is the onion.
