I used to think that people who made their own Bailey's-style irish cream were crazy. Then I tried it (it takes 5 minutes, has basically 3 ingredients) and it's so unbelievably good, I haven't bought the bottled stuff in years. bit.ly/36jiyVy

Yes, I really gifted a family member a jar of home-grown, home canned pickles. If this sounds like I'm being a cheapskate, I implore you to look into how much time's invested in growing and canning food. Getting this means you're LOVED amandabretz.net/2023/12/05/diy…

It’s time! This is my's first and only turkey recipe, because you'll never need another. It’s deeply burnished, perfectly cooked and seasoned and crisp-skinned on a bed of onions cooked in salty, buttery drippings for so long, they're otherworldly. bit.ly/2XsFT0R

James Beard Award-winning chef Gerard Craft will open Expat BBQ in City Foundry STL this fall. The concept will blend U.S. barbecue techniques with global flavors, allowing guests to explore different cultures without leaving St. Louis. saucemagazine.com/a/60186/gerard… #foodie #bbq #stl


Ever wondered how home canned foods compare in price to pre-packaged food? I wrote a blog post comparing something I recently canned to a store-bought option. amandabretz.net/2023/04/27/pri… #canning #grocerybudget #cooking


One of my articles was syndicated on @MSN! Check it out to read about fermented hot sauce. ow.ly/Zv9350NH6Mz #fermenting #foodpreservation #hotsauce #foodwriter


Since last fall, I've slowly replaced household cleaners with DIY, natural options. My latest replacement is dishwasher detergent for hard water. Even better, you can make it with a few ingredients! Get the details here -> amandabretz.net/2023/03/29/diy… #DIY #homemaking #cleaning


There are a lot of safety concerns around home canned food, especially as it ages, but it's important to know what to look for. tastingtable.com/1250315/what-h… #homecanning #pressurecanning #preservingfoods
