Crispy Skin Slow Roasted Pork
Nothing fancy here, just salt, pepper and time. The best way to describe this pork roast is to say that it’s what pork used to taste like. The cooking method brings out the natural porky flavor of the pork and produces a tender and juicy melt in your mouth roast that can be sliced, cubed or shredded which makes it perfect for leftovers.

Easy Cheesecake Pie
Making a cheesecake in a pie plate and baking it in a low temperature oven makes this one of the easiest, most satisfying and foolproof cheesecakes that you will ever make. It's creamy and silky with just a touch of tang. The hardest part about making this cheesecake pie is waiting for it to cool completely before cutting into it.

Grandma Helen’s White Takuwan
This simple pickled turnip takes very little to make and can be enjoyed the very next day.
All it needs is 3 pantry ingredients; Sugar, Kosher Salt and White Vinegar.
The flavor is clean and crisp and will keep fresh in the fridge for at least a month or more.
I have a chart below for different amounts. I usually make only 1 quart at a time which is the perfect amount for my husband and I.
