You will be absolutely amazed at how easy it is to have fresh butter just using your food processor. If you have a Braun food processor, even better because it has a variable speed that makes the job even easier.   All you need is a food processor and cream – that’s it! For your troubles, you get butter and buttermilk that you can use for scones or biscuits, pancakes, Red Velvet Cake, or other recipes that require buttermilk. This is real buttermilk with little bits of butter in it – not the stuff they sell at the supermarket – this is real buttermilk.

Boswell Barbecue Sauce – Smokey, Sweet, Sour and Hot

Boswell Barbecue Sauce
Boswell Barbecue Sauce

I started making barbecue sauce a couple of years ago when I ran out of storebought and didn’t feel like going to the store to get more. How hard could it be? So, I’ve been working on this sauce and this is just the way we like it. I think you might like it, too. It’s sweet from brown sugar, honey, and molasses, and it’s sour from red wine and apple cider vinegar, and it’s hot from several types of chili. I’m going to put this on our Nesco Baby Back Ribs, but it’s also great on Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Chicken, or anything else you want a sweet and sour hot barbecue sauce.

Panini Press Grilled Cheese – Without the Press

Panini grilled cheese
Sandwiches made in a Panini press are very good, especially grilled cheese. However, I’m one of those people that really doesn’t like to buy things that only have one use.  Everything in my kitchen can do more than one job, even the strawberry huller can take the stem off tomatoes.

Healthy Spicy Meatloaf with Wheat Germ

Healthy Spicy Meatloaf

Healthy, Spicy Meatloaf

I really love Lula Kabob.  I was looking at some recipes and found out one of the main ingredients is grated onions that are pressed through a sieve to remove their liquid.  It occurred to me this might be a good idea for my meatloaf.  Usually, I make meatloaf with the vegetables chopped, but still large enough to see them.  It’s good, but I wanted to experiment.  The experiment was successful. The meatloaf had a more consistent flavor and texture.  This will be my method of making meatloaf from now on.

The other thing that I have started adding to my meatloaf is wheat germ. It has a nutty flavor and is very good with yogurt and honey.  It’s also very healthy for you. It’s an excellent source of vitamin E, A, and folic acid as well as a fiber-rich source of high-quality non-animal protein. If you like refined white flour and are missing the benefits of whole grain, this is a great way to supplement your diet – all that nutrition in something that tastes really good.   However, if you are truly gluten intolerant, stay away as wheat germ does have gluten.
