We know you, you’re the one that always has to go that extra mile. You make your own pie pastry with lard AND butter; you make your own pumpkin pie filling (no cans for you!) and a roast that isn’t covered or smothered or sauced just isn’t a roast. So here’s a couple of recipes we like and trust. Enjoy!

Horseradish Beef Roast

We also like this recipe by Scott Peacock in Better Homes & Gardens for an Herb-and-Garlic Crusted Pork Roast with a warm plum compote. His accompanying cheddar biscuits sound divine and super easy.
