Thanks to Sarah Manley for her scone recipe and pictures this morning. I made almost the same recipe, except that I used a cup of pumpkin spice cake mix instead of one cup of flour. Enjoy!
This recipe was submitted by Facebook fan, Jami S. after I posted my confession about my failed attempts to make these. I see now that I didn’t use enough egg AND I didn’t drain the potatoes. Thanks so much Jami!
This was the ultimate “cheap” meal that tasted like a million bucks. I got the pork roast on a B1G1 sale a while back, plus a coupon. I maybe paid a couple dollars for it.
I used some homemade apricot jam I had in the fridge, given to me by my mother-in-law. I mixed about 1 cup of jam with some dry mustard, sea salt, a little brown sugar, thyme, and fresh ground black pepper.
I roasted the pork at a lower temp all afternoon (about 300), and basted it every half hour with the apricot mixture. I let it rest for at least 30 minutes, and then used an electric knife to shave it thin. I used the pan drippings to spread over the cut meat.
We had delicious pork sandwiches with the leftovers the next day.
This past weekend I participated in my first chili cook-off with some others in my area to raise money for Habitat for Humanity.

Since I don’t cook with a recipe, I can post a list of all the ingredients and you’ll have to do a little trial and error yourselves. [Read more...]
