That chuck roast or sirloin tip roast that is staring at you in your deep freezer from the beef share you just bought, this will help you. Although my favorite method is the smoked chuck roast, sometimes we don’t have the time to commit to managing…
I have decided to update this recipe simply because my “adult” children keep telling me that it isn’t clear. What do they know anyway…. It did get my attention though so I spent some time thinking about why and landed on the thought that my…
As you probably know by now, we own a farm. Not a big one with fields of wheat and barley but a smallish farm where we have a BIG garden and raise beef, pork, and chicken – ourselves. There are so many things you can…
