Baked potato wedges. It’s so much easier to slide a tray of potatoes into the oven and just let ‘em bake, than Keep Reading

Homemade Summer Sausage/Lunch Meat
Lunch meat. It’s so convenient, and so bad for you. Nitrates and nitrites; need I say more?Fortunately, homemade summer sausage is ridiculously easy to make.
