This stovetop smoked brisket is cooked three ways to give it a unique flavor, moistness, and tenderness. You get the great smoke flavor from smoking on the stovetop, tenderness from the Instant Pot, and a wonderful sauce from the Dutch oven.
Easter
Sous Vide Lamb Chops – Mediterranean and Healthy
These lamb chops are so flavorful thanks to marinating while they cook with a sous vide immersion cooker. We had them with a steamed artichoke and a small baked potato.
May Day Million Dollar Glazed Pound Cake
This cake is called a Million Dollar pound cake for a reason. It is amazingly rich, moist and buttery tasting. It’s also simple to make with an electric mixer and with very few ingredients, you probably have everything you need to make it right now.
Popcorn and Cheese Sprinkles for Easter Gifts
Popcorn and cheese sprinkle gifts are easy to make from ingredients you probably already have in your house. Package them up in vacuum-sealed bags and you can take them with you anywhere, or do like I did, and give them as gifts.
DIY Faberge Eggs
DIY Faberge eggs are so easy to make and you can keep them for years to come. The picture above is my collection for three years.
Easter Centerpieces You Can Make at Home
I think the best part about Easter is kids, and how much fun they can have. As some of you may know, I have been involved with a wonderful organization called Ascencia. I wanted to make them special centerpieces for their Easter breakfast, and I cooked breakfast as well.
We had a lot of fun making these little “nests”, as I got the children, including my dear Spane, to decorate plastic eggs in whatever fashion they desired. I had plenty of glitter glue, paint, sticky gems, and all we really needed to make Fabergé jealous.
Carrot Cake With Cream Cheese Frosting
I don’t know why I wait for Easter to make a carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. I think it just seems appropriate for the rabbits of Easter to have a carrot cake treat. This is a really rich cake, not something for every day.
Onion Skin Marble Eggs – Save Your Onion Skins
These marble eggs are so easy to make and they always turn out different. You will never have the same egg twice, so be sure and take pictures of these to look back on.
Silk Tie Dyed Easter Eggs
Silk tie dyed eggs were the star of my Easter table a few years ago, and I thought I should share again how to make them. I still have some leftover ties, so that I will make new ones again. They are very easy to make and look stunning. It’s a great way to use up old silk ties, blouses, shirts, etc.
Graniteware Roast Chicken – The Month of French
Moist chicken in a Graniteware roaster to keep moisture in and have nice crispy skin. Easy enough for a weeknight dinner, elegant enough for guests.
