Making Latkes with a Carrot in the Pan!
I saw.this hack on the internet somewhere and do not remember where! Wish I could give credit tot he person who posted this!
Putting a carrot in the frying pan while you are frying your lattes is genius! I did not really understand how it could help but it stops the oil from splattering and from burning! At least it did for me! Just discard the carrot when you are finished!

Beef Stew in the Instant Pot is great. Of course you can make this in a to on the stove or even in the oven if you do not have an Instant Pot. The recipe is delicious! I find that sometimes the beef chunks in beef stew are hard & too chewy…but not when the…

Pumpkin Muffins
Why is it that we usually only eat pumpkin foods in the fall? I suppose that pumpkins go along with Halloween & the spices in pumpkin baked goods are “fall” flavours.
