Did your parents or grandparents save bacon grease?

For generations, cooks kept a jar or coffee tin near the stove and used bacon fat to fry potatoes, season vegetables, make gravy, and add flavor to simple meals.

While it may seem old-fashioned today, saving bacon grease was once a practical way to stretch ingredients and reduce waste in the kitchen.

Do you still save bacon grease, or did someone in your family?

I absolutely loved this gingerbread recipe! It's so unique and flavorful with a nice dense crumb. Perfect for slicing nice and thick.

Enjoy some for breakfast brunch or just because. It's not an overly sweet loaf so you won't feel the least bit guilty indulging.

Ice cream is so delicious and easy to make with the Ninja Creami deluxe.

One of my personal favorite flavors is pistachio. Which is why when I discovered I can make it at home without the artificial colors I was super excited.

On top of that I just discovered pistachio halva at our local grocer. It seemed like a match made in heaven. I think I was right. The rich creamy pistachio flavored ice cream has the perfect amount of halva to make it even better!
