Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Buttermilk biscuits

    • angrygreycat on September 09, 2018

      This is my go-to buttermilk biscuit recipe. Made these again this morning with breakfast. Rise nicely and tender inside.

  • Pinto beans

    • angrygreycat on July 12, 2018

      Good basic Pinto Bean recipe. I served over brown rice. I didn't worry about soaking because I cooked the beans for 7 minutes in the instant pot and let it natural release. Then I started with the recipe from there and it went together very quickly, instead of cooking for 2 1/2 hours I cooked them for about 45 minutes.

  • Fresh corn salsa

    • angrygreycat on June 30, 2019

      Made this to go with Buttermilk chicken. The evaporated milk and butter gives this a very creamy consistency. Almost like a succotash liquid.
