It's an old fashioned, made by hand recipe (with a food processor option as well) that's a million times better than store-bought and worth every ounce of effort. My Idea of the VERY BEST Homemade Pie Crust Ah the humble pie crust made with the most basic ingredients yet it's always something (when done right) that leaves people smitten. I've made countless pie crusts over the years and it wasn't until this past year (after I made 15 or more crusts in a few weeks, I've been annoyingly obsessive about it) that I finally felt I could make the best pie crust we've had. Just how good were they? They tasted incredibly delicious bare without the need of a filling. Many of them we were breaking off generously sized, super flaky pieces before they had a chance to be filled. My mom finally gave me the " this is

Flavorful Crock Pot Ham ! A spiral sliced, bone-in ham is coated with a sweet and lightly tangy glaze and slow cooked until just heated through and tender. It's perfect for holidays and weekends and it's so easy to make! Serve it with twice baked potatoes and cornbread for a classic meat and potatoes dinner. Slow Cooker Spiral Sliced Ham One of best ways to cook a (pre-cooked) ham in a crock pot is to cook it on low, covered with a simple glaze to upgrade it, just until it's heated through. Here a savory smoked ham roast is generously coated with the perfect autumn inspired glaze. It includes apple juice concentrate, maple syrup, brown sugar and mustard. It lightly sweetens the ham and gives it a welcome extra layer of flavor. At the end of cooking, you can choose the thickness preferred for the glaze. It will be very runny (more like a broth) so you can choose to thicken those juices from the crockpot with some cornstarch, or just keep it as is and spoon some over

Individual Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes The process you'll follow here is simple. Orange flesh sweet potatoes are baked until nicely tender then they are hallowed out into boat-like shapes.

Such an easy Roast Chicken recipe. A whole chicken is brined in a well salted, buttermilk, garlic and herb mixture then it's oven roasted until beautifully browned and amazingly tender! It's likely to become your new favorite way to prepare and roast a chicken! The BEST Roasted Chicken I've made this chicken every week for the last month! We just can't get enough of it. It's amazing how it turns out so well without even being slathered in butter or oil. The acidic buttermilk tenderizes the meat, adds flavor, and promotes the skin browning. The salt keeps it juicy (as long as you don't over-bake it of course), it tenderizes and seasons as well. And the herbs and garlic lend fresh flavor. It's an absolute breeze to prepare, they key is just to plan ahead. The night before you plan to make it, begin soaking it in the brine. A lengthy brining is a must for juicy chicken. No shortcuts. Then the next evening when you get home from work or running errands, s

Homemade Baked Apple Chips ! They're perfectly easy to make, amazingly crisp, lightly cinnamon sprinkled, and they have such a delicious concentrated apple flavor. Easily one of the best snacks! Easy DIY Baked Apple Chips These baked apple chips are a nutritious treat you can feel good about eating, and they can even curb that dessert craving with their natural fruit sugars. They're a fun little kitchen project, and after you've made them a time or two it will be a total breeze from there on out. You can prep them in minutes. The trick is just to use a mandoline slicer. Not only does it give you perfectly even slices that bake evenly but it cuts the prep into a tiny fraction of what it would be without one. Just plan some time because they do need a few hours to completely dry at a lower oven temperature. These are one of those things you'll want to make time and time again once you see how simple and tasty they are, plus everyone loves them! from Cooking Cla
