Homemade Tips:

  1. Homemade chicken broth: After chicken is deboned put carcass (all chicken bones) in a medium saucepan. Add water to cover bones and cook on low heat for at least 2 hours. This makes a fantastic all natural chicken broth. 

  2. Use fresh carrots: Peel and cut up 2 carrots. Simmer on medium heat for 10 minutes and drain. Then use 1/2 cup frozen peas. 

  3. Homemade pie crust:  Please see my recipe.
